No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Kent and the surrounding towns in Litchfield County attract families who value substance over status. You’re professionals, retirees with savings, families who’ve lived here for generations. You work hard, you’re self-directed, and you plan ahead when you can. But when health changes happen, they happen fast, and the need for help at home can feel overwhelming.
Most families in Kent come to us after a discharge from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or after a fall or health scare at home. You’ve been managing fine until suddenly you can’t. Your spouse needs help with mobility. Your parent can’t climb the stairs safely. You’re juggling work and caregiving and something has to give. In a close-knit community like this, you don’t want just any caregiver; you want someone who understands your values and becomes a genuine part of your household.
Kent is different from nearby New Milford or Sharon. It’s quieter, more rural in feeling. The families here tend to be more private. They don’t advertise their struggles. When they reach out to us, it’s because they’ve already tried to manage alone and realized they need help. That’s when reliability and continuity matter most. We’ve built our practice on being the agency that shows up, every time, with the same trusted person.
Why Families in Kent Choose Private Duty Aides
Kent has a particular kind of family. You’re professionals who value privacy, self-reliance, and quality over flash. You’ve built a life here because it’s quiet, intentional, and close-knit. When you need help, you don’t want corporate chains or constant staff turnover. You want someone who understands that a good caregiver isn’t just another vendor; they become part of how your family functions.
The transition to needing in-home care often happens fast. A discharge from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. A health scare. Your parent or spouse suddenly needs help with the things they used to do alone. In Litchfield County, families like yours don’t have time for agencies that take weeks to find someone or send a different person each week. You need reliable care, period. We started Private Duty Aides because an RN saw that gap between what agencies promised and what families actually got.
What We Do
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all care. Every situation is different. Whether your loved one is recovering from a hospital stay, needs daytime support while you’re at work, or requires overnight supervision, we match a caregiver to your specific needs and personality.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. Our aides visit Kent homes for conversation, outings to town, and activities that keep isolation from creeping in. They’re trained to notice changes and report back to you.
Getting dressed, bathing, and grooming become harder. Our aides handle these private moments with efficiency and respect, so your loved one maintains dignity while you focus on being their family, not their caregiver.
You’re watching someone you know slip away. Our aides understand behavioral shifts, redirect confusion gently, and follow structured routines that keep your loved one safer and calmer throughout their day in Kent.
Memory loss is advancing, and you’re exhausted from repeating answers and managing safety risks. Our specialists work within Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s care network and use proven techniques to reduce sundowning and wandering incidents.
Tremors and rigidity make daily tasks unpredictable. Our aides anticipate balance issues, assist with medication timing, and adapt support as symptoms fluctuate—keeping your loved one mobile and engaged in Litchfield County.
You need a break without guilt. Our aides step in for hours or overnight, handling everything so you can rest, run errands, or simply breathe. Your loved one stays home; you get relief.
You can’t be everywhere at once. Round-the-clock aides mean bathroom safety at 3 a.m., medications on schedule, and someone awake if your loved one wanders. You finally sleep through the night.
An aide moves into your Kent home, becoming part of daily life rather than a visitor. They’re there for breakfast, evening medications, and the unexpected moments that matter most.
After Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge, your parent comes home fragile and confused. Our aides handle wound checks, mobility assistance, and therapy exercises while you manage the emotional recovery.
Your loved one’s instinct to leave is growing stronger. Our aides recognize the signs, provide gentle redirection, and keep them engaged indoors—reducing the panic you feel every time they reach for the door.

The Private Duty Aides Difference
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 don’t just fill hours; we think about what your loved one actually needs.
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 loved one sees the same face, learns their routines, builds trust.
Most agencies take one to two weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in Litchfield County. Most families in Kent have care within 48 hours, often much faster.
How it works
We listen. No forms, no pressure. We ask about your situation, your loved one, and what you need. That’s it.
Based on personality, schedule, and care needs. Not just whoever’s available. This matters because continuity is everything.
Often same day for urgent situations in Kent. We have a vetted roster ready. Your family doesn’t wait weeks.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something changes, we adjust. You’re not just another case file.
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 Kent, including rural areas and homes on back roads. If you live in Kent, we can reach you. We're familiar with the town and the neighborhoods, which helps us match caregivers who are reliable and know the area.
Often same day or next day. We work with families and hospital discharge planners to get caregivers in place as soon as your loved one is home. In urgent situations, we prioritize Kent families because we have local caregivers ready. Most post-hospital placements start within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes, we are private pay only. We don't bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. You pay directly for care. This gives us freedom to focus on quality matches and continuity instead of fighting with insurance companies. Many families find that paying directly for reliable care is worth it.
Staffing agencies treat caregiving like temp work. They fill shifts with whoever's available that day. Private-pay agencies like ours match one caregiver to your family and build continuity. Your loved one sees the same person, who knows their routines and preferences. We think about fit, not just availability. It makes a real difference in quality of life.
This is common and honest. Our caregivers are trained in gentle approaches and building trust. Often, resistance comes from fear of losing independence or not knowing the person. When we do a careful match and give it time, people warm up. We've had families tell us their parent went from resistant to genuinely bonded with their caregiver within weeks. We don't force it, but we don't give up either.
We have backup caregivers in Kent who know your family's situation. Ideally, we send someone familiar to minimize disruption. We communicate as soon as we know there's a problem. We don't just no-show or send a stranger without giving you options. Your schedule matters, and we treat coverage as seriously as the primary placement.
