24-Hour Care in Simsbury, 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 noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner, sitting in your parents’ kitchen on Hopmeadow Street, the way your dad kept asking the same question twice. By the time the holiday was over, you knew someone needed to be there at night, every night, because you couldn’t both work and drive to Simsbury at 3 a.m. when he got up confused. That’s when 24-Hour Care isn’t a luxury—it’s the thing that lets your family actually sleep.

24-Hour Care means a caregiver is with your parent overnight and into the morning, every single day. They’re there to help with toileting, medication reminders, meals, and anything else that happens between midnight and sunrise. It’s one person you trust, in your home, for the hours when falls happen most and when your parent is most likely to wander or panic.
On any given day, you’ll see your caregiver greeting your parent in the morning, helping them dress and eat breakfast, staying through the day or transitioning to another caregiver, and then returning in the evening for dinner, medications, and bedtime. They keep a simple log of how your parent slept, ate, and what medications they took. You get real information, not guesses. You’re not fielding a call at work about what happened at 2 a.m.
Simsbury families often need 24-Hour Care right after a hospital stay or when things change quickly at home. If your parent is being discharged from Hartford Hospital, our team knows that process inside out, and we’ve worked with their discharge planners. We were founded by nurses who’ve been up all night themselves, so we understand what around-the-clock safety actually means, not just what the brochure promises.
Nighttime falls, confusion, medication errors—these aren’t emergencies to us, they’re the reason we exist. Because we were founded by nurses, we know exactly what to watch for and when to call you versus when to handle it quietly. Your parent is safer, and you sleep.
We don’t just send someone with the right certifications. We brief them thoroughly on your parent’s habits, fears, and rhythms. Then we stay matched over months and years, not weeks. The caregiver becomes someone your parent recognizes and trusts, which changes everything at 2 a.m.
Your parent’s needs change. The caregiver you loved might not fit anymore. We’re local, we listen, and we shift fast. A call to us isn’t a ticket into some giant system, it’s a conversation with someone who knows your family.
We live here. We know how Hartford Hospital works, which discharge planners are detail-oriented, and how Simsbury families prefer to live. That local knowledge means better timing, better communication, and better care.

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
The caregiver arrives in the evening for dinner, medications, and bedtime routine. They stay through the night, monitoring your parent for falls, confusion, or medical changes. In the morning, they help with waking, toileting, dressing, breakfast, and medications before transitioning care or staying into the day depending on your schedule. You get a daily log of sleep quality, meals, bathroom needs, and any concerns. It's presence and safety, not absence and worry.
We typically start within 48 to 72 hours of discharge, and faster if you give us notice before your parent leaves the hospital. We coordinate directly with Hartford Hospital's discharge team, so the handoff is clear and nothing falls through. If your parent is coming home on new medications or after a procedure, we brief our caregiver beforehand. The goal is zero gap between hospital care and home care.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans cover limited home health aide services, but not round-the-clock live-in or overnight care. We're transparent about cost from the start and can discuss payment plans. Many families find that keeping their parent home safely with 24-Hour Care costs less than assisted living, and your parent gets to stay in their own home.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a week, usually after a doctor's order, and focuses on specific medical tasks. 24-Hour Care means someone is with your parent all night and into the morning, every single day, watching for changes and preventing emergencies before they happen. It's the difference between having help and having presence. One is reactive, one is protective.
Yes. We learn about your parent before we assign anyone. We ask about their habits, what makes them anxious, whether they need physical help or just reassurance, what time they usually wake, how they like their coffee. Then we find a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. Matching takes a little longer upfront, but it saves months of friction later.
We have backup caregivers trained to your parent's routine, and we always give you advance notice if someone will be different. We don't cancel care or send a stranger with no briefing. Because we're local and invested, we solve this problem before it becomes your problem. Your parent's continuity is our responsibility, not yours.
