Home Care in Greenwich, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives in Old Greenwich. Has for years. She’s still in the house, still insists she’s fine, but you’ve started noticing things when you visit. The mail piling up. Her forgetting whether she ate lunch. The bruise on her arm she can’t quite explain.
You’ve been managing this from a distance, or between meetings, trying to figure out when it stops being manageable alone. That’s the moment most families call us.
We’re Private Duty Aides, a nurse-founded home care agency serving Greenwich and Fairfield County. We place caregivers who show up on time, follow through, and treat your parent the way you’d want them treated.
You’re trying to manage care from Stamford, or from between work calls, or during weekend visits when you drive down from New Canaan. Your parent lives in Riverside or Cos Cob or back in Glenville, and they’re still independent in most ways, but something’s shifted. They need someone checking in. Making sure they eat. Keeping them company so the days don’t blur together.
The hardest part isn’t admitting they need help. It’s finding someone you can actually trust to show up, pay attention, and treat your parent with respect. Someone who doesn’t make it feel like an institution just walked into the house.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families try to navigate this alone. We understand what good care looks like because we’ve lived it. We vet carefully, we brief caregivers before they arrive, and we stay reachable when something feels off.
These aren’t services we’re selling. They’re responses to real situations families bring to us every week.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work in Stamford. Our aides visit for conversation, outings to Greenwich shops, or simply being present. They’re trained to notice changes and keep you informed about what matters.
Bathing, dressing, and grooming become harder. Our aides handle these intimate tasks with skill so you don’t have to navigate that shift in your relationship. We manage the logistics you’ve been dreading.
Memory loss means your loved one asks the same questions repeatedly, sometimes becomes upset. Our aides know how to redirect, reassure, and keep routines steady. They’re trained specifically for this unfamiliar version of someone you know.
Recognizing family members is fading. Our aides work with what your loved one remembers today—not yesterday—and create moments of connection despite the disease. Stamford Hospital refers families to us for this specialized care.
Movement becomes unpredictable. Falling is a real fear. Our aides understand medication timing, mobility assistance, and how to prevent injury while maintaining dignity and independence at home.
You need a break. Hours or full days. Our aides arrive so you can rest, run errands, or just sit quietly. Respite isn’t luxury—it’s what keeps you functioning as a caregiver.
Round-the-clock supervision means your loved one is never alone, even at 3 a.m. Our aides sleep nearby, respond to needs, and monitor safety while you finally rest knowing someone reliable is there.
Moving your parent or relative into your Greenwich home works better with live-in support. Our aides manage daily care, meals, and household tasks so family life continues rather than stops.
Discharged from Stamford Hospital with new limitations. Stairs are harder. Medications confusing. Our aides bridge that gap between hospital protocols and home reality, preventing readmission through careful monitoring.
Your loved one wanders out and your phone rings with panic. Our aides use door monitoring, engagement activities, and route knowledge of Greenwich streets to prevent dangerous exits before they happen.
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: background checks, references, 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 Greenwich and Fairfield County. Most families have care within 48 hours of their first call.
How it works
We listen. We ask questions. No pressure, no forms, no sales pitch. Just a conversation about what’s actually happening and what kind of help would make things easier.
We don’t just send whoever’s available. We match based on personality, schedule, and care needs. Before anyone arrives, we brief them on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like for them.
Most families in Greenwich have care in place within 48 hours of their first call. If it’s urgent, we can often start same day.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something feels off, you call us directly. 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 Cos Cob, Old Greenwich, Riverside, Byram, Glenville, Backcountry, and everywhere in between. If your parent lives in Greenwich, we can help. We place caregivers throughout Fairfield County, and we're familiar with the specific neighborhoods and what families need in each area.
Most families have care in place within 48 hours, and we can often start same day if it's urgent. Hospital discharge is one of the most common reasons families call us. We know the timing is tight, and we work fast to get someone in place before your parent comes home. We'll coordinate with the discharge planner if that's helpful, or we can work directly with you.
Yes. We're private pay only, which means families pay us directly. We don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. That gives you control over who comes into your home, what their schedule looks like, and how care is delivered. No insurance approvals, no paperwork delays, no restrictions on hours or services.
A staffing agency sends whoever's available. A private-pay agency like ours matches caregivers based on your parent's actual needs, personality, and routine. We vet carefully, we brief caregivers before they arrive, and we stay involved. You're not handed off to a scheduler. You work with us directly, and we're reachable when something changes.
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we handle. We match caregivers who come in gently, who don't announce themselves as "the caregiver," and who can build trust slowly. Sometimes it starts as companionship or light help around the house, and care deepens as your parent gets comfortable. We talk through the approach with you before anyone arrives.
We cover it. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we find a replacement so your parent isn't left alone. We keep backup caregivers who are already familiar with Greenwich families, and we don't wait for you to call us, we reach out as soon as we know there's an issue.
