24-Hour Care in Thompson, 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, sitting across the table at your parents’ house on Quinebaug Road, the way your mom kept asking the same question three times in an hour. You’d been managing the daytime, but nights were the real worry, the falls that happen when no one’s watching, the medication missed at 2 a.m. Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge planner said you needed eyes on her 24 hours, but you have a job, a family, a life that doesn’t pause. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes the answer you’ve been looking for.

24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is present in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and alert through the night when falls happen most often. They handle the basics: medication reminders, meal prep, bathroom safety, personal care. But more than that, they’re a witness. They know if your parent had a restless night, whether she ate breakfast, if something shifted in her thinking or her mobility.
On a typical day, you’ll see your parent bathed and dressed, meals prepared and eaten, medications taken on time, and movement encouraged, whether that’s a short walk or just moving between rooms safely. At night, the caregiver stays in the home, awake and ready. No more middle-of-the-night calls from a neighbor. No more wondering if she’s okay.
If your parent was recently discharged from Day Kimball Hospital or is being evaluated by their physicians, a nurse-founded agency means we understand exactly what post-discharge safety looks like. We’ve built our process from the inside out, starting from what actually keeps people safe at 3 a.m., not just what looks good on paper. Being local to Windham County, we know the Day Kimball discharge process and can coordinate directly with the care team.
We started this agency because we sat where you’re sitting, worried about nighttime falls and safety gaps that no daytime aide could cover. A nurse founded this company to answer the questions that keep families awake at night. That perspective shapes everything we do.
24-Hour Care isn’t just about showing up; it’s about the right match between your parent and the caregiver. We listen to what your parent needs, what makes her feel safe, and then we find someone who fits. That briefing and matching process is what prevents turnover and keeps your parent settled.
Your parent’s needs don’t follow business hours. If something shifts, if the caregiver gets sick, if you need to talk through a new concern at 6 p.m. on a Friday, we’re here. You’re not trying to reach voicemail.
We know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge processes, work with their care coordinators, and understand Windham County’s medical landscape. When your parent’s doctor makes a change, we know what it means for 24-Hour 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
Your caregiver handles all personal care, medications, meal prep, and household tasks that support your parent's independence. During the day, that might include helping with bathing, dressing, bathroom needs, and encouraging activity. At night, the caregiver remains awake in the home, monitoring for falls, responding to any needs, and staying alert. They're not sleeping while being paid to watch your parent. Everything is documented so you know what happened.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of hospital discharge if your care plan is clear. We coordinate directly with Day Kimball's discharge team so there's no gap. If your parent comes home on a Friday, we don't wait until Monday. We understand that the first few days home are the riskiest.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurances don't cover around-the-clock custodial care at home. We're honest about that upfront because you deserve to know the cost before we start. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We can discuss what we charge and help you think through the commitment.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually ordered by a doctor for post-discharge support. 24-Hour Care means someone is present in your home continuously, including nights when most falls happen. A home health aide might come for 2 or 4 hours; a 24-Hour caregiver is there overnight, awake and alert.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what she needs to feel safe, whether she prefers quiet mornings or conversation, what kind of activity matters to her. Then we find a caregiver in the Thompson and surrounding area who's the right fit. That matching process is why families stay with us.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We don't leave your parent without someone there. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs to step back, we fill that shift so there's no gap in care. You're not scrambling to find coverage at the last minute.
