24-Hour Care in Ridgefield, 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 called after Thanksgiving dinner to say your mom seemed confused about which day it was. You live two hours away, and she lives closer, but she works full-time and can’t be there at 3 a.m. when your mom gets out of bed looking for the kitchen. That’s when you realized: someone needs to be there, awake, every single night on Ridge Road and beyond. We know this moment. We know Ridgefield.

24-Hour Care means one caregiver in your home from evening through morning, or around the clock if that’s what your parent needs. It’s someone present during the hours when falls happen most, when confusion peaks, when your parent might wander. You’re not managing this alone anymore, and you’re not hoping someone will notice if something goes wrong.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with meals, medication reminders, bathroom safety, and mobility. They stay awake and alert through the night. They know your parent’s rhythms, their bathroom schedule, their anxiety triggers. They’re there if your parent falls, if they can’t sleep, if they need help at 2 a.m. You get a briefing each morning about how the night went. Your siblings know what actually happened.
Many Ridgefield families come to us after a hospital stay at Danbury Hospital. Your parent is discharged with new vulnerabilities, and you need someone you can trust immediately. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical complexity, medication timing, and what genuine safety looks like when you can’t be there yourself.
Our founder has stood in your kitchen at midnight, worried about falls and confusion. We built 24-Hour Care around what actually keeps families safe when they’re not in the room. We know the difference between supervision and presence.
You tell us what matters: does your parent need someone calm and quiet, or engaging? Do they wake frequently? Do they have specific hygiene preferences? We match based on fit, then we meet with your caregiver to go over every detail before they arrive.
If your parent’s needs shift, if a new medication causes side effects, if your caregiver has an emergency, you reach us. We adjust. We don’t leave you hanging at 11 p.m. on a Friday.
We work with Danbury Hospital regularly and understand their discharge planning. We know the Ridgefield neighborhoods, the local pharmacies, the doctors your parent sees. We’re not outsiders learning your community. We’re part of it.

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 or showering, dressing, meals and snacks, medication reminders, toileting and incontinence care, light tidying, and laundry. At night, they're awake and present to help if your parent needs the bathroom, gets confused, or falls. They monitor for changes in health and report to you each morning. They're not nurses, but they notice what matters.
We typically start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on availability. If you're being discharged from Danbury Hospital, we coordinate with their discharge planner to understand your parent's needs. We've done this hundreds of times. Call us before you leave the hospital if possible, and we'll have someone ready.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or home health aide services, but only for specific medical conditions and limited hours. If your parent needs someone there every night for safety, that's not covered. We help families understand what insurance might cover and what they'll pay out of pocket, so there are no surprises.
A home health aide, covered by Medicare, comes for a few hours a week or a few hours a day for specific medical needs. They're skilled at bathing and dressing. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your home all night, every night, or around the clock. They're present for safety, not just personal care. The difference is presence and continuity.
Yes. We ask detailed questions: what time does your parent wake? Do they have dementia? Do they need help with stairs? Are they incontinent? Do they do better with a male or female caregiver? Do they have a language preference? We listen, and we find the right match. If it's not working after a week, we make a change.
We have backup caregivers ready. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call our team and send a replacement the same night. You get a heads-up, and the backup knows your parent's routine from our notes. Your parent's care doesn't stop because one person is unavailable.
