Your sister noticed something off when she visited for Thanksgiving, after your mom’s fall near the Norwalk Public Library parking lot left her afraid to be alone at night.

24-Hour Care means someone is there, awake and present, through the entire night and into the morning. It’s not intermittent visits. It’s continuous supervision, medication reminders at the right time, help getting to the bathroom safely, and someone who catches things before they become emergencies. Your parent isn’t alone, and you’re not lying awake listening for a fall.
On a typical day, your caregiver manages morning routines, medication timing, meals prepared and eaten, light activity or physical therapy if needed, evening care, and overnight presence with full alertness. They’re there if your parent wakes at 3 a.m. confused or needs help. They know what’s normal for your parent and what’s not. They can call you or the doctor before a small problem becomes a crisis.
After discharge from Norwalk Hospital, families often find themselves overwhelmed by the gap between hospital care and going home alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical complexity and what safety actually looks like around the clock. We know the Norwalk Hospital discharge coordinators, and we can step in quickly so your parent goes home to continuity, not to risk.
Our founder understood nighttime falls, medication errors, and the panic of not knowing if your parent is okay. We built 24-Hour Care with that knowledge, not guesswork. Safety isn’t a talking point for us, it’s why we exist.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, fears, and what matters to them. The right caregiver isn’t just trained, they fit. We’ve learned that a good match prevents problems and gives your parent real comfort.
24-Hour Care situations evolve. A health concern develops, family dynamics shift, scheduling needs change. We stay reachable and adjust without making you feel like a burden or like you’re starting over.
We know the neighborhoods, the hospitals, the doctors, and the rhythm of how Norwalk families work. We’re not remote or corporate. We show up and stay connected to the community we serve.

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 continuously through the night and into the morning, awake and alert. They handle overnight bathroom assistance, medication reminders, meal prep, personal care, and any needs that arise at 2 a.m. or 5 a.m. During daytime hours, they continue with medication management, meals, light activity, and monitoring for any changes in your parent's condition. They document what they see and report to you and any medical providers as needed.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you contact us right away. If you're planning ahead, we'll work with the hospital's discharge coordinator before your parent leaves. We know the Norwalk Hospital timeline and process well, so there's less back-and-forth. The faster we know, the faster we can have someone in place and trained on your parent's specific needs.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly rather than through Medicare or traditional insurance. We understand this is a significant investment, and we're transparent about pricing from the start. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or set aside resources for this stage of care. We can discuss options and what makes sense for your situation.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day, a few times a week, and must be ordered by a doctor (often covered by Medicare). 24-Hour Care means a caregiver is present continuously, overnight and daytime, without the medical order requirement. You're paying out of pocket, but your parent is never alone. A home health aide is great for specific tasks or recovery from an illness. 24-Hour Care is for families who need constant presence and safety.
Yes, that's how we work. We talk with you, sometimes visit your parent, and learn what personality and approach will matter most. We're matching for fit, not just availability. We know Norwalk, and we have experience placing caregivers in South Norwalk, East Norwalk, Rowayton, West Norwalk, and the surrounding towns. It takes a little time, but a good match prevents problems.
We provide backup coverage so your parent is never left without care. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have trained caregivers ready to step in. We'll let you know of any changes, and we keep things consistent for your parent. Reliability is part of what you're paying for, and we take it seriously.
