24-Hour Care means a caregiver is with your parent around the clock, awake and present through the night. We’re talking about someone who’s there when your parent gets up at 3 a.m., who notices a fall before it becomes a crisis, who knows what medications are due and when. It’s the safety net for families who can’t leave their parent alone anymore but don’t want a nursing home.
Day to day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, toileting, and mobility. They’re watching for changes in mood or health. They’re making sure your parent isn’t wandering in the dark. They’re the calm, steady presence in the house while you sleep. Many families tell us they finally stop holding their breath when the phone rings at night.
In Stafford, we’ve walked families through the days after Johnson Memorial Hospital discharge, when your parent comes home but isn’t ready to be alone. Our caregivers are nurse-founded, which means they understand the medical picture and safety first, not just task completion. We know the discharge process at Johnson Memorial Hospital inside out, and we’re ready to start the same day if needed.
We started this because nurses saw families falling through the cracks. We know what nighttime falls look like, what medication errors cost, and why a parent sitting alone in the dark is a risk nobody should take. Your caregiver isn’t just checking boxes, they’re watching.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, and medical needs before we make a match. The right person makes all the difference when they’re in your home 24 hours a day. We listen to what you need, and we find someone who fits.
If something changes, you call us and we answer. If your parent’s needs shift or your caregiver becomes unavailable, we’re here to respond. You’re not managing this alone on a Sunday night.
We know the roads, the neighborhoods, the flow between home and Johnson Memorial Hospital. We understand the community and the families here. We’re not a corporate call center, we’re your neighbors.

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 arrives in the evening and stays through the next morning. They help with dinner, personal care, medications, and bedtime routine. Through the night, they're awake and available, helping your parent to the bathroom, responding to calls, watching for falls or health changes. In the morning, they help with breakfast, dressing, and medications before the day caregiver or family takes over. The schedule adjusts to what your parent needs.
We can often start the same day you come home from Johnson Memorial Hospital, or within 24 hours. We'll do a brief phone intake to understand what you need, schedule a home visit to meet your parent, and match you with a caregiver who fits. If it's urgent, we move fast. We've done this enough times to know the discharge window is tight.
24-Hour Care is private pay, which means you cover the cost directly. Most insurance doesn't cover around-the-clock caregiving at home. We're honest about that upfront. We can talk through costs and what your parent might qualify for, but this is an investment your family makes in safety and peace of mind.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, often through a medical order. 24-Hour Care means someone is there all day and night, awake and present. It's a completely different level of supervision and safety. If your parent needs overnight coverage because they fall at night or can't be alone, 24-Hour Care is what you need.
Yes, that's how we work. We listen to who your parent is, what they need help with, and what personality would work best in your home. We do the matching carefully because this person is living in your space. We've built a network of experienced caregivers across Stafford and Tolland County, and we find the right fit.
We have backup caregivers ready and we notify you as soon as we know about a change. We don't leave you scrambling. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we cover the shift with someone trained and familiar. You're not managing a crisis at midnight because we had a backup plan from day one.
