Home Care in East Hampton, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives in East Hampton. Has for years. She knows the route to the post office without thinking, and her neighbors wave when she checks the mail. But now the stairs feel steeper, getting dinner on the table takes longer, and the phone calls are starting to worry you. You’re in Middletown or Hartford, trying to decide if it’s time to get help, and wondering if she’ll even let someone in the house.
We work with families going through exactly this. Private Duty Aides is a nurse-founded agency that connects you with caregivers who can show up for your parent the way you’d want them to. Someone who can be there for a few hours, overnight, or around the clock, depending on what makes sense right now.

You’re driving from Middletown or Portland three times a week to check in. You’re calling before work, stopping by on weekends, rearranging your schedule around her doctor’s appointments at Middlesex Hospital. Your parent insists they’re fine, but you’re noticing the missed meals, the mail piling up, the bruise on her arm she can’t explain. You know something has to change, but she won’t leave the house she’s lived in for decades.
That’s where we come in. We place caregivers who can check in daily, help with the routines that are getting harder, and give you the peace of mind that someone’s there when you can’t be. It’s not about convincing her to leave East Hampton or upending her life. It’s about giving her the right kind of support so she can keep living in the place that feels like home.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families try to hold everything together without enough help. We know what good care looks like because we’ve seen what happens when it’s missing. That’s why we vet every caregiver, brief them on your parent before they arrive, and stay reachable when something feels off.
We don’t do care plans built around insurance billing codes. We listen to what’s happening in your family right now, then match you with a caregiver who can help with exactly that.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work in Middletown. Our aides visit East Hampton homes for conversation, outings to familiar places, and genuine companionship. They’re trained to notice changes and keep families informed about what they’re seeing.
Bathing, dressing, and grooming become harder. Our aides handle these intimate tasks with skill developed through years in Middlesex County homes, allowing your loved one dignity and independence for as long as possible.
Confusion escalates, routines vanish, and you’re exhausted from the unpredictability. Middlesex Hospital-trained aides understand dementia behaviors and create structure that calms both your relative and your household. We’ve supported dozens of East Hampton families through this.
Memory loss progresses faster than you expected. Our aides recognize early signs, redirect safely during difficult moments, and adjust care as the disease changes. We work closely with Middlesex Hospital’s specialists for continuity.
Tremors, rigidity, and mobility challenges create daily obstacles. Our aides assist with movement, medication timing, and fall prevention while understanding Parkinson’s isn’t just physical—it affects mood and cognition too.
You need eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Our aides stay overnight so you can rest, knowing someone experienced is monitoring your loved one’s safety, medications, and comfort while you recover.
Round-the-clock support means we’re here for midnight bathroom trips, early morning confusion, and every need in between. Coverage is seamless—shifts change, but your routine stays consistent.
Instead of daily visits, one trusted aide becomes part of your household. They manage care across all hours, reducing transitions and building deep familiarity with your loved one’s preferences and triggers.
They’re discharging your parent and you’re not ready. We have someone there when they get home — managing medications, meals, and follow-up.
Your parent disappears. Our aides recognize wandering triggers, implement safe redirection strategies, and maintain vigilant supervision. We’ve kept East Hampton families safe during their most frightening moments.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families fall through the gaps. We understand what good care looks like because we’ve lived it.
We vet every caregiver through background checks, references, and an in-person interview. Before anyone steps into your parent’s home, we brief them specifically on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like for them.
When something feels off, you call us directly. We answer. We’re new enough that every family we work with matters to us personally.
We have a dedicated team ready to assist in East Hampton and Middlesex County. Most families have care within 48 hours of their first call.
How it works
We listen. No forms, no pressure. You tell us what’s happening, and we ask enough questions to understand what your parent actually needs right now.
We choose someone based on personality, schedule, and care needs. Not just who happens to be available. Before they arrive, we brief them specifically on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like.
Most families in East Hampton have someone in place within two days. If it’s urgent, like a same-day discharge from Middlesex Hospital, we move faster.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something feels off, you call us directly. We answer. You’re not on your own once care starts.
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
Yes. We place caregivers throughout East Hampton, from the center of town to the neighborhoods near Lake Pocotopaug and out toward the Colchester and Portland lines. If your parent lives in East Hampton, we can get someone there. Distance within town doesn't slow us down.
If your parent is being discharged and you call us that morning, we can often have someone at the house by the time they arrive home. Hospital discharge timelines are unpredictable, and families are usually scrambling. We're set up to move quickly when you need us to. Most placements happen within 48 hours, but we prioritize urgent situations like post-hospital care.
Yes. We don't work with Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. You pay us directly, and we handle everything from there: caregiver payroll, scheduling, backup coverage. Private pay means we're accountable to you, and you get to decide what kind of care makes sense without waiting for insurance approval or navigating billing codes.
A staffing agency sends whoever is available. We match caregivers to your parent based on personality, needs, and what's actually going to work in your family. We vet carefully, we brief caregivers before they start, and we stay involved after placement. You're not just getting a warm body, you're getting someone we'd trust with our own parents.
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we see. We talk with you first to understand what your parent is resistant to and why. Then we frame the introduction carefully. Sometimes it's a caregiver who comes to "help with errands" or "keep them company a few times a week." We start small, let trust build, and go from there. Resistance usually softens once they meet someone who respects their independence and doesn't treat them like a patient.
We handle it. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we arrange backup coverage so your parent isn't left alone. You don't scramble to figure it out yourself. That's part of working with an agency instead of hiring independently.
