24-Hour Care means a caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present. They’re there for the 3 a.m. bathroom trip, the midnight disorientation, the early morning medications. They watch for falls, manage the routines you can’t be there to oversee, and keep your parent safe when you’re at work, asleep, or managing your own family.
A typical day includes morning hygiene and dressing, meals prepared and monitored, medication reminders, companionship and conversation, light housekeeping, and evening routines. The caregiver is alert for changes in mood, appetite, or mobility that might signal a problem. They’re the eyes and ears when you can’t be there, and they communicate regularly so you know exactly what’s happening.
Many Windham families bring us in right after discharge from Windham Hospital, when the anxiety about going home alone is highest. Because we’re nurse-founded, we understand how to read what a post-hospital body needs, how to catch small changes before they become emergencies, and what real around-the-clock safety actually looks like.
We started this because nurses see what happens at night, what families can’t prevent alone. We know the difference between watching your parent and actually keeping them safe. That clinical eye is built into how we train every caregiver.
We don’t just send someone. We learn your parent’s exact routine, their preferences, what scares them, what comforts them. The caregiver arrives knowing your house, your rules, your parent’s history. That preparation matters when it’s 3 a.m. and things go sideways.
Plans shift. A parent’s needs evolve. We’re available to adjust coverage, swap caregivers if needed, and talk through what you’re noticing. You’re not managing this alone.
We know the discharge planners at Windham Hospital, the rhythms of this community, the neighborhoods where our families live. We’re not a national service pretending to be local. We show up and we stay.

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 24-hour caregiver covers morning care (hygiene, dressing, breakfast), medication reminders, companionship and activities, lunch and dinner preparation, light housekeeping, bathroom assistance, evening routines, and overnight supervision. They're awake and alert all night, watching for falls, confusion, or medical changes. They document daily activities and report to you regularly so you're always informed about what's happening.
We typically start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you reach out before or on the day your parent comes home. We coordinate directly with Windham Hospital discharge planners to get the medical history and discharge instructions. The faster you call, the sooner we can have someone familiar with your parent's needs settled in and ready.
24-Hour Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover around-the-clock in-home care, so families pay directly. We can discuss costs and what's involved upfront so there are no surprises. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We work with your budget and situation.
Home health aides visit for a few hours a day, usually under doctor's orders for post-hospital recovery. 24-Hour Care means someone lives in your home, awake all night, every night. It's the difference between a visitor and a constant presence. The level of safety and oversight is completely different, especially for nighttime falls or midnight emergencies.
Yes. We learn your parent's history, personality, physical needs, and what matters most to them. Then we find a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit. We do trial days and adjust if needed. A good match means your parent is more comfortable and the caregiver can do their job well.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We don't leave you without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs time off, we find a replacement who knows your parent's routine and home. We coordinate the transition so your parent isn't confused or unsettled.
