Home Care in Litchfield County
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Salisbury is home to multi-generational families, retirees who moved here to slow down, and people who built their lives on the land. Many of your neighbors have worked in similar fields for decades. They value quality, consistency, and people who show up and stay.
When someone needs care at home, it’s not abstract. Your neighbor’s mother is the woman everyone sees at the market. Your friend’s father coached at the high school. These are people with roots, and they deserve caregivers who understand what it means to age in a place you love.
Discharge planning from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital happens fast. You get papers, a list of “approved agencies,” and three days to figure it out. We can be ready by then. We have screened caregivers in Litchfield County who know the roads, know the rhythms of small-town life, and take this work seriously because they live here too.
Salisbury is a community of people who value self-reliance and quiet. Many families here have lived in the same homes for decades. When aging parents need help, or when someone comes home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital needing support, the first instinct is to manage it within the family. But life in a small town means working parents, scattered siblings, and the honest reality that love alone doesn’t cover all the hours in a week.
We understand this. We’re not here to replace family; we’re here to make sure your loved one stays home, stays safe, and stays part of the community they’ve built. We were founded by a nurse who watched families struggle with cookie-cutter agencies that didn’t know Litchfield County, didn’t show up on time, and didn’t treat caregiving like the serious, personal work it is.
Your family’s needs are specific. Your parent isn’t a checklist. We offer flexible care that responds to what’s actually happening in your home right now, whether that’s afternoon companionship while you’re at work, overnight support after surgery, or full-time live-in care.
Your parent sits by the window most afternoons. They need someone present—not just checking boxes, but truly there. Our aides engage in conversation, take walks through Salisbury’s neighborhoods, and make sure isolation doesn’t become part of their day.
Bathing and dressing shouldn’t require a family member to take time off work. Our aides handle these intimate tasks with experience, allowing your loved one to maintain dignity while you focus on your job and family.
When memory care becomes necessary, confusion and frustration mount for everyone. Our specialized aides understand behavioral shifts, create calm routines, and communicate in ways that actually reach your loved one—reducing crisis moments at home.
Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge planners trust us with their Alzheimer’s cases. We provide structured routines, medication reminders, and the ability to recognize early warning signs that need medical attention.
Movement becomes unpredictable. Balance fails at the grocery store. Our aides trained in Parkinson’s support understand rigidity, tremors, and fall risk—keeping your loved one safe during daily activities others take for granted.
You’re running on empty. Whether it’s four hours or four days, our aides step in so you can sleep, run errands, or simply breathe. Your parent gets consistent care; you get your life back, temporarily.
Round-the-clock needs demand round-the-clock coverage. Our night and day aides know your loved one’s patterns, medications, and preferences—ensuring nothing falls through the cracks during overnight hours when hospitals feel very far away.
Having someone in your home full-time means your parent never wakes alone, never misses meals, and never wonders who’s managing their medications. It’s continuity that prevents small problems from becoming emergencies in Litchfield County.
They’re discharging your parent and you’re not ready. We have someone there when they get home — managing medications, meals, and follow-up.
The panic when they leave without telling you. Our specialized aides prevent wandering through engagement, recognize triggers, and maintain constant awareness—so you’re not searching neighboring towns at midnight.

Discharge planning from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital happens fast. You get papers, a list of “approved agencies,” and three days to figure it out. We can be ready by then. We have screened caregivers in Litchfield County who know the roads, know the rhythms of small-town life, and take this work seriously because they live here too.
We were 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 care.
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. Consistency matters.
Most agencies take one to two weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in Litchfield County. Most families in Salisbury have care within 48 hours.
How it works
We listen. No pressure. No forms to fill out before we even talk to you. You tell us what’s happening, and we ask questions that matter.
We’re not just looking at who’s available. We’re thinking about personality, schedule, care needs, and whether this person fits your family’s life. That takes thought.
For urgent situations in Salisbury, we often start the same day. We have a vetted roster ready. We don’t ask you to wait weeks.
We check in weekly. You’re never left wondering what’s happening in your home. If something needs to change, we handle it quickly.
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 Salisbury, whether you live in the village, out toward North Canaan, or anywhere in between. If you're in Salisbury, we can reach you.
Often the same day if you call us during business hours. If your parent is being discharged on a Friday or weekend, we can have someone in place by Monday morning at the latest. We coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge team and can start care within 24 to 48 hours in nearly every case.
Yes, we are private pay only. We don't bill insurance or Medicare/Medicaid. This means no paperwork delays, no restrictions on the type of care we can provide, and no waiting for authorization. You have full control over your care plan.
A staffing agency treats caregiving like a temp job. They send whoever is available that week. A private-pay agency like ours matches one caregiver to your family, trains them on your parent's specific needs, and keeps them with you long-term. Consistency, continuity, and real relationships matter in home care. That's what you get with us.
This is real, and it's hard. We've worked with many families in this situation. Our caregivers are trained in how to build trust, move slowly, and respect dignity. Sometimes it takes a week or two. Sometimes the right match makes all the difference. We're honest about what's possible, and we don't give up easily.
We have a backup plan. If your regular caregiver is out, we have trained alternates who can step in. You get a phone call from us as soon as we know there's a change. We don't leave you stranded. This is part of our commitment to reliability.
