Home Care in Montville, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives in Oakdale. Has for years. The house is quiet now, and you’re calling more often just to check. She says she’s fine, but last week she forgot to take her medication two days in a row. You’re driving up from Waterford twice a week, and it still doesn’t feel like enough. You’re tired, she’s defensive, and you both know something needs to change.
That’s when families call us. We’re Private Duty Aides, a nurse-founded home care agency serving Montville and New London County. We help families figure out what care actually looks like when your parent wants to stay home.
You’re managing care from another town, or you’re working full time, or you’re doing both and feeling like you’re failing at everything. Your parent is still in their home in Chesterfield or Uncasville, and they want to stay there. But the daily details are piling up: meals, medications, appointments at William W. Backus Hospital, the basic rhythm of a safe day. You can’t be there every morning, and the worry is wearing you down.
Families across Montville and Oakdale reach out to us when it becomes clear that love alone isn’t a care plan. You need someone reliable who can show up, who knows what to watch for, who treats your parent with respect. That’s what we do. We’re Private Duty Aides, a nurse-founded agency. That means we understand what good care actually looks like, not just what it says on paper.
We serve all areas of Montville, from the neighborhoods near Fort Shantok to the quieter roads off Route 32. We know this area, and we know how to help families make this work.
We offer non-medical home care, which means we help with the daily tasks that keep your parent safe, comfortable, and connected. Each service is tailored to what your family actually needs right now.
Your parent sits quietly most afternoons, and you’re worried about isolation. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, outings around Montville, and activities that keep them engaged. Someone to talk to makes all the difference.
Bathing, dressing, and grooming become harder. Our aides handle these tasks with skill, allowing your loved one dignity and independence at home instead of struggling alone.
Memory loss means repeated questions and confusion about time and place. Our trained aides understand dementia behavior, redirect gently, and create routines that reduce frustration for both of you.
As Alzheimer’s progresses, your loved one needs someone who recognizes their changing needs. Our aides specialize in late-stage care, safety monitoring, and supporting families through each difficult stage.
Tremors, stiffness, and mobility challenges make daily tasks risky. Our aides assist with movement, prevent falls, and understand Parkinson’s-specific needs that help your loved one stay safer at home.
You need a break. Whether it’s a few hours or a full day, our aides take over so you can rest, run errands, or simply breathe without worry.
Round-the-clock needs mean you can’t sleep. Our aides provide overnight and continuous coverage so someone qualified is always present, and you finally get rest.
Hiring live-in support means your loved one has consistent care without constant transition. One trusted aide in your home simplifies everything—meals, medication, mobility, companionship.
They’re discharging your parent and you’re not ready. We have someone there when they get home — managing medications, meals, and follow-up.
Your loved one wanders or tries to leave unsupervised, and you can’t watch them every second. Our trained aides provide alert supervision and understand the anxiety behind wandering behavior.
How it works
We listen. No pressure, no forms to fill out on the first call. Just a conversation about what’s happening and what you need.
We choose caregivers based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just who happens to be available. The match matters.
Most families in Montville have a caregiver in place within two days. For urgent situations, we can often start same day.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something changes, you call us directly and we handle it.
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 part of Montville, including Oakdale, Chesterfield, Uncasville, and the neighborhoods along Route 32 and Route 163. If your parent lives in Montville, we can help. When you call, we'll confirm timing and caregiver availability for your specific area.
We can usually start care within 24 to 48 hours of your call, and we've arranged same-day placement for urgent hospital discharges. If your parent is coming home from William W. Backus Hospital or nearby regional hospitals and needs help right away, call us as soon as you know the discharge date. We'll coordinate directly with you to make sure someone is there when they arrive home.
Yes. We're a private-pay agency, which means families pay us directly. We don't bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This lets us stay flexible and responsive. You call, we listen, and we put care in place quickly without waiting for authorization or dealing with insurance paperwork.
A staffing agency sends whoever is available. A private-pay agency like ours matches caregivers thoughtfully, stays involved, and answers when you call. We vet every caregiver carefully, brief them on your parent before they start, and check in regularly so you're never left managing this alone. You're hiring care, not just a warm body.
Sometimes. It depends on why they're refusing and what they actually need. We've worked with families where the parent said no at first, but accepted help once the caregiver showed up and treated them with respect. We talk through the situation with you, suggest how to frame it, and match a caregiver who's patient and good at building trust. We can't force care, but we can often make it easier to accept.
We handle it. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we'll find coverage and let you know immediately. You're not responsible for managing caregiver schedules. That's our job, and we take it seriously.
