24-Hour Care in New Hartford, CT
Around-the-clock non-medical care at home, two caregiver shifts covering full day and night.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner near the New Hartford green, the way your mom hesitated on the stairs, how she’d forgotten she’d already asked the same question three times. That night you couldn’t sleep thinking about the fall risk, the gaps between check-ins, what happens at 2 a.m. when she gets confused. You realized she needs someone there, all the time, not just visiting hours.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver lives in your parent’s home, awake and present through the night and day. They’re there for the falls that happen when everyone’s asleep, the medication reminder at 6 a.m., the moment your parent forgets how to use the stove. It’s continuous supervision, not just check-ins.
On any given day, you’ll see your parent getting helped with bathing and dressing, meals prepared and eaten at normal times, medications given on schedule, and someone sitting nearby during the evening hours when confusion often peaks. Your parent isn’t alone in the dark anymore. Neither are you, worrying from your own home.
If your parent was just discharged from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or is managing a condition that makes nighttime risky, 24-Hour Care bridges that gap between independence and institutional care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of aging in place, how to recognize changes early, and when to loop in doctors before small problems become big ones.
Our founder has lived this herself. 24-Hour Care isn’t about control, it’s about the real fear that keeps you awake at 3 a.m. We know the difference between monitoring and hovering, and we staff accordingly.
We don’t place someone and hope it works. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and who can actually be present that way for months or years. We brief every caregiver on your family’s actual routine, not a generic care plan.
Your parent’s health or needs shift, and you need to reach us without waiting. We’re here locally, we answer calls, and we adjust the care team if something isn’t working.
We know the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, the pharmacies in New Hartford, the doctors who understand aging. We’re not learning your area as we go.

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 is present from morning through night, handling bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, and household tasks. They're awake during sleeping hours to help if your parent needs the bathroom, gets confused, or falls. They attend appointments, manage the home, and keep an eye on changes in mood or health. It's someone there, not someone visiting.
We can often start within days of discharge if you reach out early. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner, get the medical details and care instructions, and place an experienced caregiver in your parent's home. The faster you call, the less time your parent spends at risk at home alone.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you arrange payment directly with us. Medicare and most insurance plans cover medical home health aides for a limited time after hospitalization, but not continuous in-home care for safety and support. We can explain what private pay actually costs and help you think through the financial piece honestly.
A home health aide visits a few hours a week, usually ordered by a doctor post-surgery or hospitalization. 24-Hour Care means a caregiver lives in your parent's home full-time, present for all meals, nighttime, and the in-between moments. It's the difference between a scheduled visit and continuous presence.
Yes. We learn who your parent is, what they need, whether they're quiet or social, what routines matter to them. We then match a caregiver who can be present that way, not just competent. We start with the right fit because mismatches make everyone miserable.
We have backup caregivers we've already briefed on your parent's needs and home. We don't leave you scrambling. If your primary caregiver is sick or on vacation, we ensure continuity so your parent's routine doesn't fall apart.
