Home Care in Litchfield County
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Goshen is small enough that people know their neighbors, but it’s not isolated. Families here have roots. They own homes, work locally or commute to bigger cities, and tend to age in place. When a parent or grandparent needs care, the instinct is to keep them home, surrounded by familiar things and the people who love them.
Many families in Goshen have experienced the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge process. A hospital social worker hands you a folder and says your parent can go home, but they need help with bathing, dressing, or medication. That’s when the real work begins. You have a job. Your sibling lives an hour away. Your parent is proud and independent. You need someone who understands all of that, not just someone with a certification.
Goshen sits quietly between Litchfield and Torrington, and that location matters. You’re close enough to regional resources but far enough from the city that you want local, personalized care. Generic staffing agencies don’t feel right here. You want someone who will become part of your family’s routine, not a rotation of strangers.
Goshen is a quieter corner of Litchfield County where families tend to stay rooted. Multi-generational homes are common here. Adult children work in the region but still live close enough to check in. When an aging parent or relative needs care, the expectation isn’t just competence; it’s integrity, reliability, and someone who understands that your family matters more than a time clock.
We know that the families we serve in Goshen are practical. They’ve often tried to manage care themselves until it became clear they needed help. They’re not looking for flashy marketing. They want to know: Can you be here tomorrow? Will the same person show up? Do you actually care, or are we just a job? That’s why we built this agency around a simple idea: match the right caregiver to your family and stay committed to that relationship.
We were founded by a nurse who spent years watching families navigate this transition. That clinical background shapes every placement we make.
Home care is not one-size-fits-all. Your parent’s needs at 75 are different from a friend’s at 85. A hospital discharge is different from long-term aging in place. We listen to what’s actually happening in your home and match it with a caregiver who can help.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons in Goshen while you’re at work. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, errands, and activities—keeping them engaged without medical oversight. Stops the isolation. Keeps life moving forward.
After Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge, your parent needs help with bathing, dressing, and hygiene. We handle it with routine and respect, so they regain confidence at home instead of dreading these moments.
Memory loss changes everything—repeating questions, confusion about time, difficulty with daily tasks. Our aides trained in dementia work with patience and structure, redirecting gently and keeping your parent safe through each day.
Alzheimer’s progresses differently for everyone. We adjust our approach as abilities change, whether that’s managing medication schedules, preventing wandering, or just sitting quietly when words aren’t there anymore.
Tremors, stiffness, and balance problems make simple tasks exhausting. Our aides understand Parkinson’s progression and help with movement, meal preparation, and the frustration that comes with slower-than-it-used-to-be mornings.
You need a break—maybe just four hours on Saturday, or overnight so you can finally sleep. We step in so you can breathe, knowing your parent is safe and cared for while you recharge.
Round-the-clock support means someone’s there at 2 a.m. when your parent can’t sleep, at breakfast when they need reminding, at night when anxiety peaks. Continuous presence for serious medical or behavioral needs.
Your parent needs full-time support, but home is where they want to be. Our live-in aide becomes part of the household, managing care, meals, and companionship under one roof in Litchfield County.
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 wanders, and you can’t watch them every second. We provide close supervision, understand the reason behind the behavior, and implement routines that reduce the urge to leave without restriction or alarm.

We started because an RN saw the gap between what agencies promised and what families actually got. Every placement we make is reviewed through a clinical lens. You’re not just hiring someone; you’re working with people who understand care.
We don’t pull from a rotating pool. We match one caregiver to your family and stick with it. High turnover isn’t part of our model. Your parent knows their caregiver. Their caregiver knows your parent.
Most agencies take one to two weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in Litchfield County. Most families in Goshen have care within 48 hours.
How it works
We listen. No forms, no pressure, no 20-minute hold. You tell us what’s happening, and we ask real questions to understand your family.
We don’t just find someone available. We match personality, schedule, and care needs. The person we introduce should feel right for your family.
For most families in Goshen, often the same day if the need is urgent. We have a vetted roster ready. No waiting weeks for placement.
We check in weekly. You’re never left wondering if everything is okay. If something changes, we adjust the care plan together.
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 every neighborhood in Goshen, from North Street to the outskirts near Morris. If you're in Goshen, we can get a caregiver to your home. Most of our caregivers live in or near Litchfield County, so they know the area and can respond quickly.
Often same day if you call us before or immediately after discharge. If it's late in the day, we can have care in place by the next morning. Charlotte Hungerford staff can reference us in their discharge planning. We work closely with the hospital social workers in our region to make transitions smooth.
Yes. We are private-pay only. We do not bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. This allows us to choose our caregivers based on fit and quality, not billing codes. Your payment goes directly to supporting the care you receive.
A staffing agency finds whoever is available. A private-pay agency like ours matches the right person to your family and builds continuity. We are small enough to know every caregiver we place. We check in regularly. We're not trying to fill every shift; we're trying to build care relationships that work.
This is a real challenge, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our caregivers are trained in compassion and patience, and often they can build trust where you've struggled. Sometimes it takes a few visits. Sometimes a male or female caregiver makes a difference. We work with you to find an approach that your parent will accept. If refusal is severe, we'll be honest about what we can and cannot do.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We prioritize continuity, but we also plan for real life. If your primary caregiver cannot work, we contact you immediately and provide a replacement. We don't just cancel shifts. Your family comes first.
