24-Hour Care means a caregiver is with your parent around the clock, every single day. Not just checking in. Actually there, awake at night, watching for falls, handling medications on schedule, knowing exactly what your mom or dad needs at 3 a.m. when confusion hits or pain keeps them up.
On a typical day, you’re looking at help getting dressed, bathing, meals prepared and eaten, medications taken on time, toileting assistance, and someone present during the vulnerable hours when falls happen most. Your parent isn’t left wondering if they locked the door or took their pills. You’re not driving home with your hands tight on the wheel, worrying about what you might find.
If your parent is coming home from Yale New Haven Hospital or managing a condition that can’t wait for visiting hours, we understand the urgency. We were founded by a nurse who lived this exact situation with her own parent. That background means we know what safe, attentive 24-Hour Care actually looks like, and we build every match around that standard.
Our founder is a nurse. She knows exactly what happens at midnight, what a fall looks like when no one trained is watching, and how fast a medication mistake can become dangerous. That experience shapes every caregiver we match and every briefing we do.
We don’t just send the next available person. We learn your parent’s personality, their routine, their fears. We brief your caregiver thoroughly. The difference between a good match and a poor one is the difference between your parent sleeping soundly and you getting a 2 a.m. call.
Your parent’s needs don’t stick to business hours. If your caregiver needs guidance, if a health concern pops up, or if a schedule needs to change, you can reach us. Real communication, not a voicemail box.
We know the rhythms of Yale New Haven Hospital. We understand the discharge process, the gaps that open up in the first weeks home, and how to step in fast when a parent needs more support than visiting hours can offer.

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
Your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and all meals. They manage medications on schedule and watch for side effects. They're present through the night, awake and alert, ready for falls, confusion, or restlessness. They assist with light housekeeping related to your parent's care, keep medical records accurate, and stay in regular contact with you about any changes. It's continuous attention, not shifts that leave gaps.
If you call us before discharge, we can often have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours. If you're calling after your parent is already home, we move fast because we know discharge is urgent. The exact timeline depends on your parent's needs and finding the right match, but we don't delay. Let us know what you're working with, and we'll tell you what's realistic.
24-Hour Care is typically private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover medical home health services, which are different. We work with private pay families because the flexibility and continuous attention this service requires doesn't fit insurance billing models. We're honest about cost from the start and can talk through what your budget allows and how to structure care around it.
A home health aide usually visits a few times a week for a few hours, covered by insurance after a hospital stay. 24-Hour Care means a caregiver is living in your home or present around the clock, every day, for continuous safety and support. The difference is presence. With 24-Hour Care, someone is there at 2 a.m., at 4 a.m., during the hours when falls happen and confusion peaks.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, any behavioral patterns, physical needs, and what matters most to your family. We brief your caregiver thoroughly before they start. If a match isn't working, we listen and make a change. A caregiver who clicks with your parent is a caregiver your parent will trust and accept.
We line up backup coverage before it's needed. If your regular caregiver calls out, we don't leave you scrambling. We have trained caregivers we can place quickly, and we brief them on your parent's specific needs so the transition is smooth. Continuity matters, but safety comes first. Your parent won't be alone.
