Home Care in New London County
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Griswold’s families are working families. You own homes, you have jobs, you’re raising kids or managing aging parents. When health changes happen, they happen fast. One week someone is independent; the next week they’re discharged from the hospital and you’re trying to figure out how to keep them home safely while you manage everything else.
Many families we work with in Griswold are also sandwiched between caring for children and caring for aging parents. You’re pulled in multiple directions. Hiring a caregiver isn’t admitting defeat; it’s a smart choice that lets you show up better for everyone. Lawrence + Memorial Hospital is nearby, which means many of our placements start right after discharge planning. We know the hospital’s protocols, and we’re ready to support families in those critical first days home.
Griswold is also a town where people value independence. Your parent may be resistant to help at first. They may have opinions about how things should be done. That’s where personality matching matters. We don’t just find someone available; we find someone who can respect your family’s values and approach care with humility and skill.
Griswold is a place where neighbors know each other, where people value reliability, and where family comes first. When someone in your household needs help with daily care, you don’t want a rotating roster of strangers. You want consistency, respect for your privacy, and someone who becomes part of your family routine, not an outside service that clocks in and out.
The families we serve in Griswold are often managing multiple generations under one roof, or they’re adult children working full-time while a parent ages at home. You’re doing your best to balance everything. Home care isn’t a luxury for you; it’s a practical way to keep your family intact without burning out. We understand that dynamic because we started as a nurse who watched families struggle with exactly this choice.
Our nurse-founded model means every caregiver we place in your Griswold home has been vetted for both skill and character.
Home care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Maybe your parent needs someone to help with morning routines and medication reminders. Maybe you need overnight supervision so you can actually sleep. Maybe your spouse is recovering at home after surgery. We match caregivers to the actual situations families face, not just a generic job description.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. Our aides visit regularly in Griswold, offering conversation, card games, and errands—keeping isolation at bay without medical intervention. They’re present for the moments that matter.
Bathing, dressing, toileting—tasks that feel impossible to manage alone. Our aides handle these intimate needs with efficiency and discretion, so your loved one maintains dignity while staying safely at home.
Memory loss changes everything overnight. Our aides understand behavioral shifts and confusion, using techniques to reduce agitation and redirect gently. They’re trained specifically for the unpredictability dementia brings to daily care.
As Alzheimer’s progresses, your family needs someone who recognizes wandering patterns and communication changes. Our aides specialize in memory-focused routines that anchor your loved one throughout the day, reducing frustration.
Tremors and rigidity make simple tasks exhausting. Our aides assist with movement, medication timing, and fall prevention specific to Parkinson’s progression, keeping your loved one mobile and engaged longer.
You need a break—today, tonight, or next week. Our aides step in so you can rest without guilt. Whether it’s a few hours or overnight, we handle everything, giving you breathing room.
Your loved one needs round-the-clock supervision after discharge from Memorial Hospital. We provide continuous monitoring, medication management, and immediate response to changes—so you sleep knowing help never leaves.
Instead of moving to a facility, our aide becomes part of your household, available mornings through nights. This arrangement keeps your loved one in familiar surroundings while receiving full-time support.
You’re bringing them home from Memorial Hospital, but they’re not ready to manage alone. Our aides follow discharge instructions precisely, monitor wounds and medications, and catch complications early.
Your family member wanders at night or disappears during confusion. Our aides maintain visual supervision, establish safe routines, and prevent dangerous exits—so you stop checking doors at 3 a.m.

Started by an RN who saw the gap between what agencies promised and what families actually got. Every placement is reviewed through a clinical lens. We know what good care looks like because we’ve provided it.
We don’t pull from a rotating pool. We match one caregiver to your family and stick with it. High turnover is not part of our model. Your parent gets consistency. You get someone you know.
Most agencies take one to two weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in New London County. Most families in Griswold have care within 48 hours.
How it works
We listen. No forms, no pressure, no script. Tell us what’s happening and what you need. We ask questions because we want to understand your family and your situation.
Based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just availability. We think about who will work well with your parent, your home, and your family rhythm.
Often same day for urgent situations in Griswold. We have a vetted roster of caregivers ready. We don’t ask you to wait while we post ads and conduct interviews.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something isn’t working, we address it. You always know we have eyes on what’s happening in your home.
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 Griswold, whether you're near downtown, out on Voluntown Road, or anywhere in between. If you're in Griswold, we cover it. Our caregivers know the town well and understand the local routes and neighborhoods.
Usually within 24 hours. We work directly with the hospital's discharge planning team and are often contacted before your family member leaves. That means we can have a caregiver ready to support the transition home immediately. In urgent situations, same-day placement is possible.
Yes. We are private-pay only. We do not bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This allows us to focus entirely on finding the right caregiver for your family, rather than managing insurance approvals and restrictions. It also means no surprise billing or coverage denials.
A staffing agency treats caregiving as an interchangeable commodity and will send whoever is available. We treat care as a relationship. We match one caregiver to your family and maintain that continuity. That means your parent isn't relearning routines every week, and you're not managing a constant rotation of new faces. Private-pay agencies like ours are built on consistency and trust.
Many families face this. Resistance to care is common and doesn't mean care isn't possible. We match caregivers who are skilled at building trust and approaching resistance with patience, not force. Sometimes it takes time. We stay in communication with you about what's working and what isn't, and we're willing to adjust if needed.
We have backup coverage because we maintain a vetted roster and don't rely on a single schedule. We also build redundancy into our process so you're never left without options. If your caregiver is unavailable, we work quickly to get a replacement or backup in place. We understand that gaps in care disrupt your family, so we prioritize continuity.
