24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present when they need it most. This is different from checking in a few times a day or hoping they remember to call if something goes wrong. One person stays overnight and through the day, knowing your parent’s routine, their medications, their fears, and what a normal evening looks like for them.
Day to day, you’ll see a caregiver who handles personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and most importantly, they’re there if your parent gets up at 2 a.m. confused, or tries to walk to the bathroom in the dark, or has a fall no one would have heard. Families tell us the peace of mind is everything. You sleep at night knowing someone is actually there.
Many Plainville families come to us right after discharge from Hospital of Central Connecticut, when a doctor has said your parent shouldn’t be alone but you’re not ready for a facility. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what safe looks like after a hospital stay. We understand medication timing, wound care, and the specific risks that show up in those first weeks home. We speak the language of your parent’s discharge plan because we’ve been on that side of it.
Our founder worked in nursing long enough to know that falls, confusion, and wandering happen when it’s dark and no one is watching. 24-Hour Care means someone is literally there when your parent’s judgment shifts at night. We’ve seen it, we’ve prevented it, and we know how to set up a home so nighttime is safer.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We listen to your parent’s temperament, their daily rhythm, what makes them feel safe. We brief our caregivers completely on your parent’s health history, their medications, their quirks. You get someone experienced and prepared, not a stranger walking in cold.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication changes, a new symptom appears, you notice something different on the weekend. We’re here to talk through it, adjust the care plan, and make sure your caregiver is updated the same day. You’re not navigating this alone.
We know Hospital of Central Connecticut’s discharge process, we know the Plainville neighborhoods, and we know what it means to live in a smaller town where your doctor is the same person you see at the grocery store. That local knowledge matters when we’re matching you with someone and understanding your family’s real situation.

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, and toileting. They prepare meals, manage medications and set reminders, do light housekeeping and laundry, and handle errands or appointments. They're watching for falls, changes in mood or appetite, or anything that looks different. At night, they're awake and present so if your parent gets up confused or needs help, someone is there. It's not medical nursing care, but it's vigilant, trained, everyday safety.
If you call us before your parent leaves the hospital, we can often start within 24 to 48 hours. We'll get a copy of the discharge paperwork, review medications and any wound care, and brief your caregiver completely. If it's after discharge and you're realizing your parent shouldn't be alone, we move quickly. The sooner we can start, the better, especially in those vulnerable first weeks home.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover limited home health services like skilled nursing or physical therapy, but not around-the-clock personal care. We work with many families to find what this actually costs in their situation and help them understand the investment. We can discuss payment options and what might be available through your parent's specific plan.
A home health aide typically comes a few times a week for a few hours, usually ordered by a doctor and often covered by insurance. 24-Hour Care means one caregiver is in your home continuously, overnight and during the day. They know your parent deeply, they're there for the unpredictable moments, and they're watching constantly for safety. It's a completely different level of presence.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what will make them feel comfortable. We have caregivers with experience in dementia, Parkinson's, post-surgical recovery, mobility issues, and more. We'll brief your matched caregiver on everything about your parent's health, routine, and personality before day one. You get someone who knows what they're walking into.
We have backup coverage. If your primary caregiver is sick or needs a day off, we have trained caregivers ready to step in. We brief them on your parent so there's continuity. You won't be left scrambling, and your parent won't be alone. We understand that consistency matters, but we also make sure life happens without panic.
