24-Hour Care means a trained caregiver is in your home around the clock, awake and present. They’re there for the nighttime bathroom trips, the 2 a.m. moments when your parent feels unsteady, the medication reminders that happen at odd hours. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the steady presence that lets your parent stay home and lets you actually sleep.
On a typical day, you’ll see your caregiver helping with bathing, dressing, meals, and mobility. They watch for changes, keep track of what your parent ate and when they took medication, and stay alert for falls or confusion. If your parent wanders at night or gets agitated, there’s someone there who knows what to do, who’s trained to keep them safe without restraint or alarm.
Woodbridge families often come to us right after a hospital stay at Yale New Haven Hospital, when doctors say your parent can go home but shouldn’t be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge and what safe care actually looks like when you’re at home. We’ve built our matching process around finding the right person for your parent, not just filling a slot.
Our founder spent years watching families struggle with nighttime falls and the fear that comes with leaving a parent alone. That experience shaped how we listen, how we match caregivers, and what we actually prioritize in 24-Hour Care. We’re not a corporate chain, we’re a practice built on what works in real homes.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, and what makes them feel safe. When we place a caregiver, we’ve already thought through personality fit, experience with similar conditions, and whether they can handle the patience that nighttime care requires. We brief every caregiver thoroughly so there are no surprises on the first shift.
Your parent’s needs shift. A new medication, a fall, a hospital visit, a behavioral change at 3 a.m. When you call us, you’re talking to people who understand home care, not a call center script. We’re reachable, we adjust, and we don’t make you feel like you’re asking for too much.
We know the discharge planners at Yale New Haven Hospital, the rhythms of how people transition home, and what Woodbridge families actually need in the days right after coming back. We’ve placed caregivers across all neighborhoods in Woodbridge and the nearby towns, so we understand the geography and the community.

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 home sleeping in the home at night and awake and present 24 hours. They handle personal care like bathing and dressing, meal prep and feeding, toileting and incontinence care, medication reminders, and mobility support like getting in and out of bed or walking to the bathroom. They're watching for falls, confusion, signs of infection, and changes in behavior. If your parent wanders at night or becomes agitated, they're there to respond calmly and safely. They also keep your home safe by removing hazards and keeping your parent's schedule as normal as possible.
We can typically start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on caregiver availability and your parent's specific needs. If your parent is being discharged soon, contact us as soon as you know it's coming so we can begin matching and interviewing. For urgent situations or weekend discharges, we work closely with the hospital discharge team to make sure there's coverage in place. We've done this many times with families coming home from Yale, and we know how to move quickly without rushing the match.
24-Hour Care is private pay in Connecticut, meaning you're paying out of pocket rather than through insurance or Medicare. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have a policy, and some use health savings accounts. We're transparent about costs upfront so you can plan. For families who qualify based on income, we can discuss options, but our standard model is private pay. It's worth comparing the cost to the alternative, which is often a facility or family members trying to provide care themselves for months.
Home health aides typically come for a few hours a few times a week and focus on personal care during those visits. They're covered by insurance if ordered by a doctor. 24-Hour Care means someone is there all day and night, every single day, sleeping in your home and present for the middle-of-the-night moments when falls happen or your parent gets confused. A 24-Hour caregiver becomes familiar with your parent's rhythms and personality, can notice subtle changes, and can respond immediately. If your parent needs overnight supervision and safety, 24-Hour Care is what you need.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what makes them comfortable, any behaviors we should understand, language preference, and health conditions. If your parent is resistant to care or has specific triggers, we want to know. We have caregivers with different experiences, temperaments, and backgrounds, and we match thoughtfully. We also do a trial period so you can see how the relationship is working before committing long-term. If something isn't right, we address it.
We have backup coverage in place. We maintain relationships with trained caregivers across Woodbridge and New Haven County so that if your regular person gets sick or has an emergency, we have someone ready to step in. We try to give you advance notice if we know about a scheduled absence, and we brief any backup caregiver thoroughly on your parent's needs. We don't leave families hanging, and we don't ask your family to cover gaps.
