No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Lebanon is a mix of long-time residents, working families, and retirees who chose to stay in the towns where they raised their kids. People here tend to age in place. Your parent probably has a house with history, friends who’ve known them for decades, and roots that run deep. When aging or illness makes it harder to manage alone, the instinct is to find help that preserves that sense of home and continuity, not to disrupt it.
A lot of families in Lebanon face the same timeline. A parent gets hospitalized at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital. They come home needing recovery support. You take time off work, but you can’t take months off. You need a caregiver fast, someone who won’t flake out, and someone who will treat your parent with the same respect they’ve earned over a lifetime in this community. Most agencies can’t match that. We can, because we have caregivers already vetted and ready in New London County.
The transition from independence to needing help is never easy, especially in a place like Lebanon where self-reliance is part of the identity. We see our job as making that transition as smooth and dignified as possible. We’re not here to take over. We’re here to help your family adapt while your parent stays home, stays connected, and stays themselves.
Why Families in Lebanon Choose Private Duty Aides
Lebanon is the kind of place where people stay rooted. Families have lived on the same street for decades. Your neighbors know you. Your parent knows the librarian at the library. There’s a real sense of continuity here, in New London County. When that continuity is disrupted by illness, aging, or recovery, the transition can feel isolating. You need someone in your home who gets that stability matters, who won’t treat your parent like a case number, and who will show up the same way every single day.
Most home care agencies run like staffing pools. They send whoever is available that shift. In Lebanon, where families are close-knit and trust is earned over time, that model doesn’t work. We were founded by a nurse who watched families like yours struggle with rotating caregivers and fragmented care. We built a different model for New London County: one caregiver, one family, long-term relationships, and someone who actually knows your parent’s routine and preferences.
Everything we do is built on the clinical judgment of an RN who understands both what your family needs and how care actually works in a home.
What We Do
We provide companion care and personal assistance for older adults, people recovering from surgery or hospitalization, and those managing cognitive changes. The scenarios are specific. Your parent isn’t eating well and needs someone to prepare meals and sit with them. Your spouse needs overnight coverage so you can sleep. Your family member with memory loss needs someone present during the day. We match trained caregivers to these exact situations, not the other way around.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. Our aides visit Lebanon homes to provide conversation, help with errands, and activities that keep isolation at bay. Someone who’s actually there, present, week after week.
Bathing, dressing, grooming—tasks that became harder. Our aides handle these with routine and respect, showing up consistently so your loved one maintains dignity without family strain.
When your mother asks the same questions repeatedly or becomes upset, you need someone trained to redirect, not argue. Our aides work with dementia’s logic, not against it. They know what works in real homes.
Alzheimer’s progresses unpredictably. Aides familiar with memory loss, sundowning, and behavioral changes prevent crises. We’ve supported dozens of New London County families through every stage.
Tremors, rigidity, balance issues—Parkinson’s needs aides who understand timing of medications, fall risks, and maintaining independence. Our team knows the specific movements and patience this diagnosis requires.
You’re exhausted. A few hours weekly—or a full day—where someone else takes over lets you breathe. No guilt. Just rest. We cover Lebanon and surrounding areas with reliable coverage.
Around-the-clock presence means nighttime bathroom runs, early morning help, medication reminders at 3 a.m. Our aides work rotating shifts so your loved one never wakes to a stranger.
One person, full-time in your home. Consistency matters more than you’d think. Your parent adjusts better. Fewer transitions. Fewer falls. One trusted face for weeks and months.
Coming home from Memorial Hospital means vulnerability. Your parent can’t manage stairs alone yet or safely bathe. We bridge that gap—aides trained in post-surgical care, preventing readmission.
Your family member leaves the house without warning. Panic. Our aides watch for triggers, redirect safely, and provide the vigilance required so everyone—including your loved one—stays secure.

The Private Duty Aides Difference
We were started by a registered nurse who got frustrated watching agencies promise one thing and deliver another. Every caregiver placement is reviewed through a clinical lens. We know care. We don’t just know staffing.
We don’t pull from a rotating pool and send whoever’s available. We match one caregiver to your family and build continuity. High turnover isn’t part of how we operate. Your parent gets to know their caregiver. Trust builds over time.
Most agencies take 1 to 2 weeks to place someone. We have a vetted roster of caregivers already in New London County. Most Lebanon families have care within 48 hours. When your parent comes home from the hospital, we’re ready.
How it works
We listen. We ask questions about your parent, their personality, their routine, and what you need. There’s no pressure, no forms, no gatekeeping. Just a human conversation.
We don’t just find someone available. We think about personality fit, schedule compatibility, and the specific care needs your family has. The match matters more than the speed.
For most families in Lebanon, a matched caregiver is in your home within two days. For urgent situations, same-day care is often possible because we have vetted caregivers ready right here in New London County.
We check in weekly with your family. You’re never left wondering how things are going. We adjust the care plan as your parent’s needs change, and we stay involved.
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 neighborhoods and parts of Lebanon. Whether your parent lives near the town center, out toward the countryside, or anywhere in between, we have caregivers who can get to you. If you're not sure whether your address is covered, call us. We almost certainly can help.
We aim to have a caregiver in place within 48 hours of discharge. In many cases, especially if you call us before your parent leaves the hospital, we can start care the same day they come home. We coordinate with the hospital discharge team so there's no gap in support. Let us know your discharge date as soon as you know it, and we'll have someone ready.
Yes. We are a private-pay agency only. We do not bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. You pay us directly for the caregiving hours we provide. We offer competitive rates for the quality of care you're getting, and many families find it a better value than trying to piece together multiple part-time caregivers. If you have questions about cost or payment options, we're happy to discuss it.
Staffing agencies prioritize filling shifts with whoever is available. Private-pay agencies like ours prioritize matching the right caregiver to the right family. We build long-term relationships. We're smaller, more selective, and we care more about continuity than turnover. If your caregiver gets sick, we don't just send a substitute. We work with your family to figure out what makes sense. That's the difference.
This is a real question and a hard one. We can help, but it depends. Our caregivers are trained to build trust and work with people who are hesitant about having someone in their home. Sometimes it helps to start with a few hours a week and let them get comfortable. We're honest about what we can and can't do. Call us. We'll talk through your parent's specific situation and figure out if and how we can help.
We call you as soon as we know, and we work to find coverage fast. Because we're nurse-founded and selective about our roster, we have backup caregivers we trust. You won't get a stranger. If a substitution is going to happen, we talk to your family first. In most cases, we can find someone your parent already knows or someone we're confident will be a good fit for that day.
