Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting across the table at your mom’s place on Mountain Road. She wasn’t quite herself, and you realized later that week you’ve been holding your breath every time the phone rings after 10 p.m. A fall in the dark, a missed dose of medication at 3 a.m., or just the fact that she shouldn’t be alone anymore, but you can’t be there 24 hours a day. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes the answer you’ve been looking for.

24-Hour Care means someone is there around the clock, every single day. It’s a caregiver in your parent’s home at night when falls happen most often, early mornings when medication routines matter, and all the hours in between when emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
You’ll see a caregiver who knows your parent’s routine, who can help with mobility and personal care, who stays alert for changes in health or behavior, and who can call you or their doctor if something shifts. During the day, your parent has continuity, the same person or a carefully matched rotation, so they’re not explaining their story over and over to strangers.
If your parent was just discharged from Hospital of Central Connecticut or another local facility, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between hospital protocol and coming home alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the clinical side of what happens at night, and we structure our caregiving around preventing falls and catching problems before they become emergencies.
Our founder is a nurse, so we know exactly why falls happen at 2 a.m., why medication timing matters, and what changes in your parent’s behavior actually mean something. That’s not theory for us, it’s lived experience. Every caregiver we send for 24-Hour Care is trained to prevent falls and recognize when your parent needs medical attention.
We learn what your parent actually needs before we introduce anyone to the home. That means fewer surprises, fewer personality clashes, and fewer times you have to say, “This person doesn’t work for us.” We interview, we listen, and we place someone who can be there reliably.
Your parent’s needs don’t stay the same. When a new symptom shows up or your parent’s mobility shifts, you can reach us, not an automated line. We adjust the care plan so your caregiver has what they need to keep your parent safe.
We work with Hospital of Central Connecticut regularly and understand their discharge process. When your parent comes home and needs 24-Hour Care immediately, we’re already familiar with the hospitals, the doctors, and the neighborhoods in New Britain.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.
Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.
No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.
Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.
We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.
You hear from us, not just the aide. Updates on appetite, sleep, mood, mobility — the things that matter.
Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they're ever placed in a home.
Why families trust us
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver arrives for a shift that covers nighttime hours and key transition times like early morning. They help with bathing, dressing, and toileting as needed. They administer medications on schedule, monitor for pain or discomfort, assist with mobility, and watch for falls or other changes. If your parent needs help getting to the bathroom at 3 a.m., the caregiver is there. If your parent doesn't look right at breakfast, the caregiver notices and reports it to you and the doctor.
If we have a caregiver match ready, we can start within a few days of discharge. If we need time to find the right fit for your parent's specific situation, that may take a week or two. We won't rush the matching process because getting the wrong person in your home creates more stress, not less. Talk to us about your timeline as soon as you know discharge is happening.
No. 24-Hour Care is private pay because it's custodial care, not skilled nursing. Insurance companies won't cover it. What we can do is work with you on scheduling and staffing options that fit your budget and your parent's needs. Some families do 24-Hour Care for a few months after a hospital stay, then step down to overnight care only once their parent stabilizes.
A home health aide comes a few hours a week on a schedule Medicare or insurance approves, based on a medical diagnosis. 24-Hour Care means someone is there around the clock, every night, every morning, every time your parent could fall or need help. Home health aides are medical support. 24-Hour Care is daily life support when your parent can't be alone.
Yes. We talk to you and your parent about personality, routines, communication style, and what matters most for safety. If your parent needs someone calm and quiet, we find that. If they need someone more outgoing and engaging, we match for that too. We draw from caregivers familiar with New Britain neighborhoods and local routines.
We have backup coverage planned in advance. You won't call us and hear, "Sorry, we can't fill the shift." If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we place someone you've already met and approved, or we bring someone in quickly with proper briefing. Your parent's safety doesn't stop because one caregiver can't come.
