Home Care in Enfield, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives in Hazardville. Has for years. She knows the roads, the neighbors, the pharmacist who asks about her garden. But lately you’ve noticed she’s eating less, skipping the things she used to enjoy, and when you ask if she needs help she says she’s fine. You live forty minutes away and you’re running out of ways to check in without moving in yourself.
That’s the moment families call us. We’re Private Duty Aides, a nurse-founded home care agency serving all of Enfield and Hartford County. We send caregivers who show up on time, know what they’re doing, and treat your parent like a person, not a task list.

Your parent still lives in the same house they’ve had for decades, whether that’s in Thompsonville near the center of town, over in Enfield Street, or out toward the Somers line. You’re checking in as much as you can. But you can’t be there when they wake up confused at 3 a.m., or when they need someone to sit with them after a fall, or when the visiting nurse says they need daily check-ins and you’re juggling your own job and kids an hour away.
The commute from wherever you are to Enfield starts to feel impossible. Your parent says they don’t want strangers in the house, but they also can’t manage alone anymore. You call agencies and get waitlists or generic answers. You need someone who knows Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, who can start quickly, and who actually shows up when they say they will.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families try to patch together care on their own. That’s why we brief every caregiver before they walk in the door, why we answer the phone when you call, and why we’re honest about what we can and can’t do. We’re new enough that every family matters to us personally.
We offer the kind of care that keeps your parent safe at home and gives you room to breathe. These aren’t packaged services. They’re responses to the real situations families bring us every week.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. We send someone to Enfield who enjoys the same shows, takes walks through your neighborhood, and actually talks with them. Not just checking boxes—real company that fills the quiet hours.
Bathing, dressing, toileting—the help you can’t always be there to give. Our aides in Hartford County handle these intimate tasks with skill and respect, so your loved one stays clean, dressed, and dignified every single day.
When confusion and agitation spike, you need someone trained to recognize what’s really happening. Our aides understand dementia behavior patterns and redirect without frustration, turning difficult moments into calmer ones.
Families coming out of Hartford Hospital often call us when memory care gets too complex at home. We know how to keep your loved one safe while respecting who they still are, even as they slip further away.
Tremors make getting dressed harder each month. Our aides understand the specific challenges Parkinson’s creates—from medication timing to fall prevention—and adapt care as your loved one’s abilities change.
You need eight hours without worry. Whether it’s a Tuesday afternoon or a full weekend, we send reliable aides to Enfield so you can actually rest, knowing your loved one is handled with real attention.
When night shifts become impossible and days blur together, someone needs to be awake and watching. We provide round-the-clock presence so you stop waking up panicked and your loved one gets monitored through the dark hours.
Moving an aide into your home means no more coordinating schedules or worried phone calls between caregivers. One familiar face handles mornings, afternoons, and nights—consistency that matters more than you’d expect.
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 loved one leaves the house and you can’t find them. We staff aides trained to recognize wandering triggers and provide the kind of alert, patient supervision that keeps them safe without feeling like a prison.
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 with 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 Enfield and Hartford County. Most families have care within 48 hours of their first call.
How it works
We listen. No pressure, no forms yet. Just a conversation about what’s happening and what your parent actually needs.
We choose someone based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just who’s available. Then we brief them on your parent before they ever walk in the door.
Most families in Enfield have someone in place within two days. If it’s urgent, we move faster.
We check in weekly so you know how things are going. If something feels off, you call us directly and we answer.
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 serve all of Enfield, including Hazardville, Thompsonville, Enfield Street, and neighborhoods near the Somers, Suffield, and South Windsor borders. If your parent lives in Enfield, we can reach them. Most of our caregivers are local to Hartford County, so travel time isn't an issue.
We work with families coming out of Hartford Hospital and nearby regional hospitals all the time. If you call us before discharge, we can usually have a caregiver ready the day your parent comes home. If it's last minute, we move as fast as we can. We know hospital discharge timelines don't leave much room, and we plan accordingly.
Yes. We're private pay only, which means you pay us directly and we don't bill insurance or work with Medicare or Medicaid. That gives us control over who we hire, how we train, and how we match caregivers to families. It also means you can start and stop care on your own timeline without waiting for approval from anyone else.
A staffing agency sends whoever is available. We match based on fit. We vet carefully, we brief caregivers before they meet your parent, and we stay involved so you're not managing everything on your own. Private pay means we answer to you, not an insurance company. If something isn't working, you call us and we fix it.
Sometimes. A lot depends on why they're refusing and whether they're safe alone. We start by talking through what's actually happening, then we match a caregiver who can meet them where they are. Some of our best placements started with a parent who swore they didn't need anyone. It takes the right person and a little patience, but it's possible.
We find coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we send someone else who's been briefed on your parent. You're not left scrambling or calling around yourself. That's part of why you hire an agency instead of going it alone.
