Home Care in New London County
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Lisbon is a suburban community where multi-generational families still matter. Many of your neighbors have parents or in-laws living nearby; some live with them. When a family member gets older or faces a health setback, the assumption is that you’ll figure it out at home before considering anything else. That instinct is good. But figuring it out alone is not.
The transition often starts at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. Your parent has been there for surgery, a fall, or a health crisis. The hospital tells you they’re ready to go home but need supervision. You’re handed a discharge packet with names of agencies. You call them. They say two to three weeks. You can’t wait that long. Your parent can’t sit in a hospital bed waiting for an opening in someone’s schedule.
That’s the gap we fill. Lisbon families need care fast, local, and reliable. We have caregivers already in New London County who are vetted, trained, and ready. Most families get matched and start care within 48 hours. We’re not cheaper than the big agencies. But we’re faster, more personal, and we don’t disappear after the first week.
Lisbon is a place where families put down roots. Your neighbors know your name. Your parent’s doctor is down the road at Lawrence + Memorial. When someone you love needs help, you don’t want a stranger from an hour away; you want someone who understands what matters to your family and can be there consistently. Most agencies treat Lisbon as a service territory. We treat it as a community.
The families we serve here are balancing real life. You’re working, raising kids, or both. Your parent or loved one wants to stay in their home, not move into a facility. They want dignity and continuity, not a rotating door of caregivers. That’s why we match one caregiver to your family and keep that relationship steady. A nurse founded this agency because she saw families like yours fall through the cracks when care agencies prioritized speed over trust.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all care. Every family’s situation is different. Maybe your parent is recovering at home after surgery. Maybe they’re living with dementia and need someone who understands the day-to-day challenges. Maybe you need overnight coverage so you can sleep. Here’s what we actually do for families in Lisbon.
Your parent sits alone most days in Lisbon while you’re at work. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, errands, and outings—keeping them engaged and connected. We handle the guilt of distance.
Bathing, dressing, grooming—tasks your loved one now struggles with. Our aides provide hands-on help with dignity, handling what’s become physically difficult while you focus on being family, not caregiver.
Memory loss means your relative repeats questions, loses track of time, and becomes anxious. Our trained aides in New London County know how to redirect, reassure, and create calm routines that reduce confusion and frustration.
Alzheimer’s strips away independence fast. We manage toileting, medication reminders, wandering concerns, and behavioral changes—working with Memorial Hospital’s care plans to keep your loved one safe at home.
Tremors, stiffness, and balance issues make everyday tasks risky. Our aides assist with mobility, meals, and medication timing, preventing falls and maintaining function while your family member retains as much independence as possible.
You’re exhausted from round-the-clock caregiving. Our aides step in for hours or days so you can sleep, work, or just breathe. Lisbon families trust us to give them their lives back temporarily.
Your loved one needs someone present constantly—for safety, medical checks, or behavioral support. We provide overnight and round-the-clock coverage so your family isn’t stretched thin across impossible hours.
Hiring live-in support means your parent or spouse doesn’t leave home, doesn’t face institutions, and stays in their own space. Our aides become part of the household routine, making aging in place actually work.
Discharge from Memorial Hospital comes with fear: Can you manage wound care? Medication schedules? Physical recovery? We bridge that gap with skilled support so hospital progress continues at home, not backwards.
Your family member with dementia leaves the house without notice. We provide structured supervision, secure routines, and door-exit awareness so everyone can breathe without constant panic in Lisbon.

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. You’re not dealing with a call center; you’re working with someone who has been in your shoes.
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 gets to know their caregiver. The relationship builds trust.
Most agencies take one to two weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in New London County. Most families in Lisbon have care within 48 hours. That matters when you’re desperate.
How it works
Tell us what’s happening. We listen. No forms yet. No pressure. Just a conversation about what your family actually needs.
We find someone based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just who’s available. The fit matters more than anything else.
Often same day for urgent situations in Lisbon. Your caregiver arrives ready to help. We’ve done the vetting; you can rest.
We check in weekly. You’re never left wondering if everything is okay. You have a nurse and a team behind you.
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 Lisbon, from the north end to the south. If you live in Lisbon, we can get a caregiver to your home. We also serve surrounding towns in New London County, so proximity is not a problem for us.
Usually within 48 hours, sometimes same day. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge team so there's no gap. If your parent is discharged on a Friday afternoon, we can often have a caregiver at your home by Saturday morning or Monday morning at the latest. That's why families call us directly from the hospital.
Yes, we are private pay only. We don't bill insurance or Medicare or Medicaid. That means no waiting for authorization, no paperwork battles with insurance companies, and no limits on how long your caregiver can stay. You pay directly for the hours you need.
A staffing agency fills shifts. If your caregiver gets sick, they send whoever is available. A private-pay agency like ours matches one caregiver to your family and keeps that relationship intact. If your caregiver gets sick, we work hard to cover the shift with someone your family knows or we coordinate with you on timing. The caregiver matters, not just the hours filled.
This is real. Many older adults resist accepting help, especially at first. A good caregiver knows how to build trust and make help feel natural, not intrusive. We match caregivers who are patient and skilled at working with resistant loved ones. We also coach you and your family on the conversation before the caregiver arrives. It's not magic, but it works more often than you'd think.
We notify you immediately and work to cover the shift. If we have another caregiver your family knows, we call them first. If not, we reach out to our backup list and explain the situation. You're never left scrambling. We also build flexibility into your schedule where we can so you have some buffer if something comes up.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
