Elopement Care is supervised, in-home support for people at risk of wandering. We’re talking about the parent who leaves at unpredictable times, who doesn’t understand why they’re leaving, who can’t be left alone. Our caregivers stay present, keep watch, and make sure your family member is safe inside the home and safe if they do go outside.
On any given day, our caregiver might sit with your parent, keep doors monitored, take walks together if that’s what your parent needs, help with meals and medication, and stay alert for the patterns that lead to wandering. We document what we see, we call you when something changes, and we don’t pretend that a door alarm is enough.
If your parent was just discharged from Griffin Hospital or is being monitored by their doctor in New Haven County, we know how to work with that timeline. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of wandering risk, the behavioral side, and the bone-tired side of being the family member who’s been scared for months.
Our founder is a nurse. She’s watched families hold their breath at 2 AM, watched door alarms fail, watched parents leave home without any awareness of danger. We don’t use corporate language about this. We know what wandering risk actually feels like because we’ve seen it up close.
We spend time matching your parent with a specific caregiver who has experience with wandering risk and whose temperament fits your family. We brief that caregiver on your parent’s patterns, triggers, and what safety looks like in your home. One person, trained and consistent, makes all the difference.
Elopement risk changes. Medications change. Your parent’s behavior shifts. You can call us directly, and we listen and adjust. We don’t disappear after the first week. We’re here when you need to talk through a concern or make a change.
We work with Griffin Hospital on discharge planning and know the doctors and social workers in this area. We understand Beacon Falls geography, the neighborhoods, the town resources. We’re not a distant service. We’re here.

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
Our caregiver arrives at the agreed time and stays present in the home. They keep watch, engage your parent in activity if appropriate, help with meals and medications, and document behavior patterns. If your parent wants to go outside, the caregiver goes with them. If they try to leave without supervision, the caregiver redirects and keeps them safe. We're not there to restrain or argue. We're there to prevent crisis and keep your family member alive and safe.
We can often start within 48 hours of you calling us, depending on caregiver availability and your family's schedule. If discharge is planned, talk to the hospital social worker about reaching out to us before your parent leaves Griffin. If it's urgent, call us right away. We'll move fast.
Elopement Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of supervised safety in the home. We're transparent about cost from the start, and we can talk about what fits your budget. Some families combine Elopement Care with other services. Let's talk about your situation.
A home health aide typically helps with bathing, dressing, meals, and ADLs under a doctor's order and insurance plan. Elopement Care is focused supervision for wandering risk. The caregiver's job is to stay alert, keep your parent safe, and prevent them from leaving the home unsupervised. These can overlap, but they're different services.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent, their triggers, their preferences, and their history. We match them with a caregiver who has experience with wandering risk and whose personality fits your family. We brief the caregiver thoroughly and do a trial period so everyone is comfortable before we commit to the schedule.
We have backup coverage for planned absences and sick days. If your regular caregiver can't work, we either have a trained backup available or we cover the shift ourselves. We won't leave your family without care. If a long-term change happens, we work with you to find a new match.
