24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present during the hours your parent is most at risk. This isn’t part-time visits or checking in by phone. Someone is there at night, in the early morning, and during the hours when falls happen and confusion peaks.
On a typical day, you’ll see help with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, and mobility. The caregiver watches for changes, catches a fall before it becomes a crisis, and calls you with updates. At night, they’re alert and close by if your parent needs the bathroom or wakes disoriented. You sleep knowing an experienced person is in the house.
Many Suffield families start 24-Hour Care right after discharge from Hartford Hospital, when your parent is still fragile and your confidence is low. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what safety really requires, and we don’t treat 24-Hour Care as a convenience, we treat it as the serious responsibility it is.
A nurse founded this agency because she saw families ignored until something broke. We know the 2 a.m. call feels different than any other crisis. We staff caregivers who are trained to prevent falls, to move safely with your parent, and to stay alert when everyone else is sleeping.
We ask you hard questions about your parent’s routines, fears, and preferences. We talk to the caregiver about your home, your family, and what you need at 3 a.m. This isn’t a temp service. We’re building a relationship that will run 24 hours a day.
If a caregiver gets sick or your parent’s needs shift, you reach a real person who knows your situation. We don’t put you on hold or tell you to call back Monday. 24-Hour Care requires flexibility, and we have it.
We work with Hartford Hospital’s discharge planners and case managers. We understand the rhythm of hospital transitions and what your parent actually needs the first week home. We’re local to Suffield, Enfield, and the towns around you, which means faster response and familiarity with your doctors.

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.

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 meals. They manage medication reminders and watch for missed doses or side effects. They're present during toileting and nighttime bathroom trips, which is where most falls happen. During the day, they engage your parent in activity or rest as needed. They prepare simple meals, do light housekeeping related to your parent's care, and keep detailed notes so you and your doctors know what's happening. Most importantly, they stay alert for changes in mood, appetite, confusion, or physical decline that need attention.
We can typically begin 24-Hour Care within 48 hours of discharge if you call us right away. We ask that you give us time to do a proper intake call with you and a brief visit to your home so we can match the right caregiver. If your parent is still in the hospital, we recommend starting those conversations now, even before the discharge date is set. We work closely with Hartford Hospital's care coordinators to make the transition smooth and safe.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you arrange payment directly with us. Medicare covers skilled nursing and part-time home health aide services, but not around-the-clock personal care. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they budget for 24-Hour Care as a family decision. We're honest about the cost because safety at night isn't negotiable, and you deserve to know exactly what you're paying for and why.
A home health aide visits for a few hours a few times a week, usually covered by insurance or Medicare. They help with specific tasks during those visits. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your home or stays continuously, awake and available all day and night. The caregiver in 24-Hour Care is trained to catch falls before they happen, to respond to nighttime confusion, and to notice changes that might mean a hospital trip is coming. It's the difference between having help during the day and having safety around the clock.
Yes, we do careful matching based on your parent's personality, medical needs, and daily routine. If your parent has dementia, we match someone trained in that. If mobility is the big concern, we match someone strong and experienced with falls. We also ask about personality fit because your parent and caregiver will spend 24 hours together. We always start with an introduction and a trial period so you can see if it's working before committing long-term.
We have backup caregivers who know your home and your parent, so you're not left without coverage. We call you immediately if there's any change and we work to keep continuity as much as possible. We don't cancel 24-Hour Care because someone called in sick, and we don't make you scramble at the last minute. Your safety is our responsibility, and we treat it that way.
