24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home every night, every day, for as long as you need them. They’re not visiting for an hour. They’re there, awake and alert, so you can finally sleep knowing your parent is safe. It’s the difference between managing fear and managing reality.
On a typical day, you’ll see medication reminders given on time, meals prepared and eaten, bathroom assistance without rushed moments, nighttime bathroom trips monitored, someone to help if they fall before they hit the ground. Your parent gets companionship, not just supervision. You get the ability to work, see your own family, or simply breathe.
After discharge from Norwalk Hospital, many Westport families come to us directly. A nurse-founded agency means we understand post-hospital vulnerability, medication timing, and the specific gaps where falls happen. We know what Norwalk Hospital expects in discharge care, and we deliver it without gaps.
We started this agency because we saw families fall apart when their parent fell at night. Nurses understand the medical side and the emotional side. We train our caregivers to watch for the small signs, the small moments, the ones that prevent the big crisis.
We don’t send a new face on day one. We listen to what your parent needs, what you need, and we introduce the right person. That matters when someone’s going to be in your home for months or years.
Health changes fast. Schedules shift. We answer the phone when you need us, and we adjust 24-Hour Care quickly if your parent’s needs do. You’re not calling a call center in another state.
We know the Norwalk Hospital discharge process because we work with it every week. We know the roads, the neighborhoods, the pharmacies, the doctors. We’re not learning your town. We’re part of it.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For 24-Hour Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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
A caregiver is present during sleeping hours and waking hours. That includes monitoring at night, helping to the bathroom, assisting with dressing and bathing, preparing meals, reminding about medications, and being alert for falls or changes in condition. If your parent needs help at 3 a.m., someone is there. If they need a meal at noon, it's made. It's presence and safety combined.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours in most cases, sometimes sooner depending on your situation. Norwalk Hospital will discharge with instructions, and we step in to execute them without a gap. We coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge team and your parent's doctors. The faster we start, the safer the transition home.
No. 24-Hour Care is private pay because insurance covers medical home health, not around-the-clock companionship and supervision. That's an important distinction. What we do is protect your parent's safety every hour. We're transparent about cost and work with you on scheduling to fit your budget.
A home health aide comes for a few hours, usually with a specific medical goal. 24-Hour Care means someone is living in your home, present for all the unpredictable moments. The aide might help with a bath. The 24-Hour caregiver is there when your parent wakes confused, when they fall, when they need comfort at midnight. It's constant, not scheduled.
Yes. We listen to what matters. Does your parent need someone calm or someone energetic? Do they have memory loss, mobility issues, or behavioral changes? Are there cultural or language preferences? We learn your parent, not just their diagnosis. The right match changes everything about how 24-Hour Care actually works in your home.
You're not left scrambling. We have backup caregivers trained and familiar with 24-Hour Care arrangements. We notify you immediately if there's a change and we cover the shift. Your parent's routine and safety don't pause because someone got sick. We've built our team so that doesn't happen to you.
