Your sister noticed it first during Thanksgiving dinner, the way your mom moved a little slower from the kitchen table to the living room, how she held the banister on the stairs like she wasn’t sure. Then came the call at 2 a.m. when she’d gotten out of bed and you heard the fear in her voice. That’s when you knew: someone needs to be there, every hour, especially at night. We’ve been helping Sharon families through this exact moment for years.

24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent’s home around the clock, watching for falls, managing medications, handling the small crises that happen when no one’s looking. It’s not a nurse visit three times a week. It’s steady presence, day shift and night shift, someone who knows your parent and what normal looks like for them.
On any given day, this looks like help getting dressed and showering, preparing meals, reminders about medications, assistance with walking or bathroom needs, and someone awake and alert during the hours when falls happen most often. Your parent isn’t alone in the house at 3 a.m. When something changes, someone’s there to catch it and call you.
Sharon families often come to us right after a discharge from Sharon Hospital, when the doctor says your parent shouldn’t be alone but you can’t move into their home and take three months off work. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what the medical side needs and what your parent actually needs to feel safe in their own house, not just to get through each day.
Our founder built this agency because she saw families caught between two impossible choices: leave a parent alone or leave their own life on hold. We know the difference between checking boxes and actually keeping someone safe through the night, the real fear of a fall when no one’s there to hear it.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to what your parent needs, who they’ll trust, what time of day matters most. Then we spend real time with the caregiver, walking through your parent’s routine, the medications, the layout of the house, what to watch for.
When something changes or you need to talk, you reach someone who knows your situation. We adjust the schedule, we problem-solve with you, we don’t disappear after the first week.
We know the discharge process at Sharon Hospital and how to pick up care the same day if you need us. We’re familiar with your parent’s doctors, the neighborhoods here, the rhythm of living in Sharon.

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 arrives in the morning and helps with showering, dressing, breakfast, and any medications due that day. They're present through the afternoon and evening, preparing meals, helping with light housekeeping, accompanying your parent to appointments or outings. Overnight, the caregiver is in the home, awake and alert, ready to assist if your parent needs the bathroom, gets disoriented, or falls. The caregiver documents any changes and keeps you informed.
We can often start the same day or the next morning if you call us before discharge. We'll talk to the hospital social worker, get your parent's medical information and routine, and have a caregiver meet you at home. If it's urgent, we prioritize matching someone we trust who can start immediately and adjust the permanent match once everyone's settled.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and home health aides for short periods after hospitalization, but not 24-hour live-in care. We can work with you on scheduling and cost, and some families use a combination of Medicare-covered services and our care to fill the gaps. We're honest about what it costs and what you're getting.
A home health aide typically visits a few times a week for a couple of hours, helping with bathing and personal care. They leave, and your parent is alone the rest of the time. 24-Hour Care means someone is there continuously, overnight and all day, watching for changes and problems before they become emergencies. It's the difference between support and constant presence.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, any medical needs, what time of day matters most, and what kind of caregiver would be the best fit. Then we listen to the caregiver's experience and strengths. We introduce them to your parent before the care starts, so everyone's comfortable. If it's not working after a few days, we match someone else.
We have backup caregivers we've trained and briefed on your parent's routine. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we notify you and send a backup immediately. We don't leave you scrambling. It's not a perfect system, but we treat it like it's our own parent who needs care.
