Home Care in New London County
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
North Stonington draws a mix of long-time residents and people who moved here for the quiet, the space, and the proximity to work without the intensity of the city. Families here tend to have older parents or grandparents living within driving distance. When illness or aging hits, these families often find themselves commuting between multiple towns, managing care from afar, or realizing they can’t do it all themselves anymore.
The discharge planning process at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital happens fast. Your parent is cleared to go home, and suddenly you’re on your own to figure out what “home recovery” actually means. Many North Stonington families reach out to us in that moment. They need someone local who can be there Monday morning, not in two weeks. They need reliability and consistency, not a stranger every other day.
What makes North Stonington different from neighboring Stonington, Voluntown, and Ledyard is the demographic mix. You have working families here, families with kids still at home juggling a parent’s care, and you have retirees who’ve settled here and now need support. That diversity means we’re serving different care needs in the same geography. We’ve learned how to move fast, adapt quickly, and match caregivers who understand the specific pressures North Stonington families face.
North Stonington is a place where people know their neighbors and value independence. Families here tend to be practical. They work, they have responsibilities, and when a parent or grandparent needs help, they want a solution that doesn’t feel like hiring a corporation. They want a real person who can show up, know their family’s rhythm, and become part of the household. Not a rotating staff. Not a checklist.
The transition to needing care happens fast here. Someone falls. Someone has a diagnosis. Someone just gets tired. And suddenly, you’re juggling work, your own family, and a parent who needs more than a weekly visit. Many families discover us after a discharge from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, when they realize that the discharge plan is really just the beginning of a much longer conversation about what daily life looks like at home.
We’re nurse-founded, which means every caregiver we place is vetted through the eyes of someone who has actually done this work.
Families in North Stonington call us for different reasons at different times. Some need a few hours a week of companionship while they work. Others need overnight care because their parent is restless at night and they’re exhausted. Some just had surgery and need someone to handle the basics. We’ve built our service menu around what actually happens in your home.
Your parent sits alone most days while you’re working. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, outings to North Stonington shops, or just being present. They handle light housekeeping too, so your mom or dad stays engaged and cared for without feeling abandoned.
Bathing, dressing, and grooming become harder. Our aides manage these intimate tasks with expertise, letting your loved one maintain dignity. We handle what’s become difficult so you can focus on being family instead of caregiver.
Memory loss changes everything. Our aides understand behavioral shifts and confusion patterns specific to dementia. They create calm routines in your North Stonington home, reducing agitation and keeping your family member safe during this unpredictable journey.
As Alzheimer’s progresses, your parent needs someone trained in memory care. Our aides recognize early signs, adapt to changing abilities, and communicate in ways that work. They’re experienced in what you’re facing right now.
Tremors, stiffness, and balance issues mean everyday tasks become safety risks. Our aides understand Parkinson’s progression and help with movement, medication timing, and fall prevention so your loved one stays mobile and independent longer.
You need a break. Whether it’s an afternoon or overnight, our aides give you real rest while your parent or spouse gets quality care. Call us when you’re exhausted—we show up so you can actually breathe.
Round-the-clock needs require more than one person. Our team provides 24-hour coverage in your home, managing nighttime emergencies, medications, and personal care without institutional settings. Your loved one stays in familiar surroundings.
Someone living with you full-time handles what’s become overwhelming. Our live-in aides become part of your household, managing care while you sleep, work, or manage other family needs. Stability without the institutional feel.
You brought your parent home from Memorial Hospital, but the recovery is harder than expected. Our aides know post-discharge needs—wound care, mobility assistance, medication management—so healing happens safely at home in North Stonington.
Your loved one leaves the house unpredictably and you’re terrified. Our trained aides recognize wandering patterns, redirect safely, and maintain close supervision. You finally get nights where you’re not panicked about where they’ve gone.

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 understand what good care looks like because we’ve done 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 a person you know and trust.
Most agencies take 1 to 2 weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in New London County. Most families in North Stonington have care within 48 hours. When you need help, you need it now.
How it works
We listen. No pressure, no forms, no sales pitch. You tell us what’s happening. We ask questions. We figure out together if we’re the right fit.
Based on personality, schedule, and care needs. Not just availability. We want someone who fits your family, not just someone who’s free.
Often same day for urgent situations in North Stonington. We have a vetted roster ready. We don’t make families wait.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. You know who to call. We know how things are going. It’s a real relationship, not a transaction.
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. Whether you live in the center of town, out on a quiet road, or near the Voluntown border, we cover all of North Stonington. We have caregivers familiar with the geography and the local character. If you live here, we can reach you.
Same day or next day in most cases. We know the discharge timeline is tight. The hospital isn't set up to wait. So we don't either. Call us before your parent leaves the hospital if you can. If not, call as soon as you're home. We'll have someone there to help with the transition.
Yes, we are private pay only. We don't bill insurance or work with Medicare or Medicaid. That's intentional. It means we're not caught in the volume game or the paperwork trap. We focus on quality care and matching the right caregiver to your family. Private pay keeps us aligned with your interests, not the insurance company's.
A staffing agency treats care like an hourly labor pool. You might get a different person every week. A private-pay agency like ours focuses on relationship and continuity. We match a caregiver to your family, we vet them carefully, we stay involved in the relationship, and we make sure it actually works. Staffing is transactional. We do care.
This is real. Many parents resist the idea of a caregiver at first. It feels like a loss of control. Our approach is slow and respectful. We send someone for a conversation first, not a task list. We let them meet your parent before any care happens. Sometimes it takes a few visits for trust to build. If your parent is actively hostile to the idea, we can talk through other options. But most people warm up when they meet the right person.
We have a backup system in place. The goal is never to leave you without coverage. In most cases, we'll have someone else there within a few hours. For regular recurring shifts, we have secondary caregivers trained and ready. You won't be abandoned. That's a promise we take seriously.
