24-Hour Care in Wolcott, 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 your mom’s hands shaking during Thanksgiving dinner at the house on Woodtick Road, and mentioned it casually. A week later, your mom fell at 2 a.m. and didn’t call anyone. She just lay there until morning. You realized then that she can’t be alone anymore, and you can’t be there 24 hours a day. That’s when 24-Hour Care becomes real.

24-Hour Care means someone is in your parent’s home around the clock, every single day. It’s not a nurse visiting for an hour. It’s consistent presence, someone who knows your parent’s routine, their medications, their habits, and what normal looks like for them.
On any given day, a caregiver handles meals, medication reminders, hygiene, mobility help, and keeps an eye out for anything that doesn’t feel right. They’re awake at night. They notice when your parent is unsteady getting to the bathroom. They’re there if a fall happens. They document everything and keep you in the loop.
If your parent comes home from Waterbury Hospital after a procedure or hospital stay, 24-Hour Care bridges that vulnerable gap when they’re still weak and need constant oversight. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical risk and the rhythm of post-discharge recovery. We’re not just hands; we bring real clinical awareness to what we’re watching for.
We built this service because we’ve seen what happens when there’s no one there at 3 a.m. Our nurses understand nighttime falls, medication timing, and the signs of decline that families miss. You get caregivers trained with medical awareness, not just kindness.
You don’t get whoever is available. We listen to your parent’s personality, your family’s needs, and what matters most to you. Then we pair a caregiver who actually fits. We brief them thoroughly on your parent’s specific rhythms and what to watch for.
24-Hour Care isn’t set and forget. Your parent’s needs shift. Health changes. We stay reachable and adjust the plan without making you fight for it. You call us, we listen, and we adapt.
We know the Waterbury Hospital discharge process, the local doctors, and the rhythm of Wolcott care. When your parent comes home, we’re already familiar with the system they’re navigating. That makes a real difference.

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 from bedtime through breakfast and all through the day and night. They handle medications, meal prep, bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility help. They keep your parent company, watch for changes in mood or physical condition, and are awake and alert during nighttime hours when falls and emergencies most often happen. We document what we see and keep you updated regularly.
We can often start within a few days if we know ahead of time. If your parent is discharged unexpectedly, we work to get someone in place as fast as possible. The key is advance notice. Contact us as soon as a hospital stay is planned, or call us immediately if your parent is already home and you need help now. We'll talk through what's realistic for your timeline.
24-Hour Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't reimburse for this level of in-home support. We're transparent about pricing upfront. Many families use a combination of savings, family contributions, and sometimes long-term care insurance if they have it. We can talk through the financial reality with you.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few days a week, ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay. 24-Hour Care is round-the-clock, seven days a week, with someone living in your home or staying overnight and part of the day. The caregiver is there for all the hours your parent needs them, not just scheduled visits. It's a completely different level of presence and safety.
Yes. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. We ask about your parent's personality, any dementia or mobility issues, language preferences, routines they care about, and what your family needs most. Then we find a caregiver who understands those specifics and has the experience to handle them. The match matters, and we take time to get it right.
We maintain a network of trained backup caregivers so your parent is never left without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we step in quickly. We brief backups on your parent's needs beforehand so the transition isn't jarring. Continuity and reliability are essential to 24-Hour Care, and we take that seriously.
