24-Hour Care in Vernon, 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 called after the holiday dinner to say she’d found your dad on the kitchen floor that morning, no idea how long he’d been there. He’s fine now, but the thought of him falling in the night while you’re asleep two towns over won’t leave your head. That’s when you realize someone needs to be there, all the time, in that house on Mountain Road where he’s lived for forty years.

24-Hour Care means having a trained caregiver in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present through the nights when falls happen most, when medication times shift, when confusion peaks. It’s not checking in by phone. It’s someone there, in the house, ready to respond in seconds, not minutes.
On a typical day, you’ll see your parent get help with bathing and dressing, meals prepared and eaten at the table, medications given on time, movement around the home safely monitored. At night, the caregiver stays alert, watches for restlessness or bathroom trips, catches falls before they happen, and makes sure your parent doesn’t wander. It’s the thing that lets you sleep knowing someone who knows your parent is right there.
Here in Vernon, many families come to us after a discharge from Rockville General Hospital, where a doctor or nurse has said the words you’ve been dreading: your parent shouldn’t be alone. We were founded by nurses who’ve lived this ourselves. That changes how we listen, how we match caregivers, and how seriously we take the 3 a.m. phone call.
Our founders are nurses who’ve seen what happens when a parent falls in the dark and no one hears. We don’t just place caregivers. We place people trained to anticipate, to notice the unsteady step before it becomes a fall, to be awake when you can’t be.
We spend time understanding your parent before we send anyone. We listen for the details, the habits, the things that matter. Then we match a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. You’ll get a briefing before they arrive, so there are no surprises on night one.
Your parent’s needs will shift. A medication will change, a behavior will emerge, a health thing will need attention. You can reach us, talk to someone who understands, and adjust the plan without waiting for business hours or an email response.
We know Vernon, we know the neighborhoods from north of the Vernon circle to the quieter streets near the town line. We work with Rockville General Hospital discharge planners regularly, so we’re in the loop when your parent is ready to come home and needs 24-Hour Care right away.

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 is in your parent's home from morning through night, assisting with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, and mobility. At night, the caregiver stays awake and alert, monitoring for falls, bathroom needs, and confusion. They help with light housekeeping related to your parent's care, keep watch during sleep hours, and respond immediately to any change or emergency. It's continuous presence and safety, not visits.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if we're contacted early. We work directly with Rockville General's discharge team so the transition is smooth. If your parent is coming home on a specific day, let us know as soon as possible and we'll have a caregiver matched and briefed. The sooner you call, the sooner we can be there.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you'll cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care at this level. We can discuss the investment with you honestly, help you understand what the actual cost is, and sometimes families find ways to make it work through combinations of resources. We're here to talk numbers without pressure.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day, a few days a week, often ordered by a doctor for post-recovery care. 24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent's home all day and all night, every single day. The caregiver is there during the times falls happen most, when confusion peaks, when your parent wakes at 2 a.m. It's a completely different level of safety.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, medical needs, and preferences. Then we find a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit. We don't just fill the position with whoever is available. You'll meet the caregiver (or at least speak with them) before they start, and if it's not right, we'll make a change.
We have backup. If your primary caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have trained people who can step in. We'll call you first, let you know what's happening, and make sure the backup caregiver knows your parent's routine. Your parent's care doesn't stop because one person is unavailable.
