24-Hour Care means one caregiver in your parent’s home around the clock, awake and present. Not a monitoring service or occasional check-ins. Someone who’s there at 3 a.m. if your parent gets up confused, who catches a fall before it happens, who makes sure medications are taken. It’s the safety net for families who can’t leave their parent alone anymore.
On any given day, your caregiver handles personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and companionship. They’re watching for signs of decline or infection. They’re making sure your parent stays engaged and safe. They’re your eyes and ears when you’re not there. The caregiver works alongside your parent’s doctors and any other care being provided.
If your parent was recently discharged from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, we know that process well. We work with their discharge planners and pick up exactly where the hospital leaves off. Our founders are nurses, which means we understand what safe 24-Hour Care actually requires, and we’ve built our team to match that standard.
Our founders came from nursing. We know the difference between a caregiver who’s present and one who’s truly watching for nighttime falls, medication errors, and the small changes that signal something’s wrong. That background shapes every placement we make.
We don’t just send someone over. We spend time understanding your parent, their routines, their quirks, their medical history. Then we find the right caregiver and walk through every detail so there are no surprises on day one.
Your parent’s health shifts. Your schedule changes. You need to reach us, and we answer. If your regular caregiver can’t make a shift, we have backup. If your parent needs a different approach, we adjust.
We know Westerly, Stonington, Groton, and the surrounding towns. We know how Lawrence + Memorial Hospital coordinates discharge. We’re here, not a call center somewhere else.

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 bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, meal prep, light housekeeping, and medication reminders. They help with mobility and transfers if needed. They provide companionship, keep watch for falls or changes in behavior, and communicate with you and your parent's doctors. They're awake and alert at night in case your parent needs help getting to the bathroom, experiences confusion, or falls.
We've coordinated with Lawrence + Memorial's discharge team many times. If you reach out while your parent is still in the hospital, we can often start care within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. That means someone's there the day your parent comes home. For non-emergency situations, we still move fast, but we take time to get the match right.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock custodial care at home. We work with families to understand their budget and what's realistic. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or tap into savings or family resources. We're honest about the cost and what you're getting for it.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day and is ordered by a doctor for post-hospital or medical recovery. 24-Hour Care is someone living in your parent's home full-time, awake and watching. It's for families whose parent genuinely can't be left alone, not for short-term recovery. The commitment and presence are completely different.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, medical needs, and what matters most to your family. We listen to what you're worried about. Then we match based on experience, temperament, and fit, not just availability. Sometimes that takes a bit longer, but it's worth it.
We have backup caregivers we've already vetted and trained. We notify you as soon as we know there's a gap, and we put someone in place for your parent's safety. We don't leave your parent alone. If you need continuity with a familiar face, we work with you on that. Your peace of mind matters.
