Home Care in Somers, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives near Soapstone Mountain. Has for years. You’re in Hartford or maybe further south, and the drive up is manageable most weeks, but lately it’s the small things piling up. She’s missing appointments, not eating the meals you left, and when you ask if she needs help, she says she’s fine. You know she isn’t, but getting her to accept someone coming in feels impossible.
That’s exactly the moment families call us. We’re Private Duty Aides, a nurse-founded agency serving all areas of Somers. We help set up care that feels right to your parent, stays consistent, and keeps you in the loop without taking over your life.
Somers is a quiet town. Most families here live on main roads or tucked back on rural lanes near Shenipsit State Forest or around the Somers Village area. Your parent’s been independent for years, and that independence matters to them. But you’re starting to notice things when you visit: meals skipped, laundry undone, a fall that happened days ago they didn’t mention. You can’t be here every day, and they won’t ask for help.
That’s when families start looking for someone who can be present without making it feel like everything’s changed. Someone who can be there after a discharge from Rockville General Hospital, who can drive them to the post office or doctor visits, who checks in without hovering. Care that fits into their life instead of overtaking it.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families fall through the gaps between what hospitals offer and what actually happens at home. We’re here to close that gap. We vet carefully, we brief caregivers before they arrive, and we stay reachable when something changes.
We offer the kind of care that keeps your parent safe, steady, and still themselves. Whether it’s a few hours a day or someone staying overnight, we match the caregiver to your parent’s routine and personality.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. Our aides visit Somers homes to share meals, take walks around town, and handle errands—keeping isolation from becoming loneliness. It’s conversation and presence when family can’t be there.
Bathing and dressing have become harder. Our aides help with hygiene and grooming at home, respecting privacy while ensuring safety. You stay involved without managing every task yourself.
Memory loss changes everything—routines disappear, sundowning disrupts nights, familiar faces become confusing. Our trained aides recognize these shifts and respond with calm consistency, keeping your loved one oriented and safe through each day.
Alzheimer’s progresses differently for everyone. We’ve cared for Tolland County families through every stage—from early confusion to advanced care—adjusting our approach as abilities change. Experience matters here.
Tremors, rigidity, and movement challenges make daily tasks exhausting. Our aides understand Parkinson’s specifics: helping with mobility, managing medication timing, preventing falls. They move with you, not around you.
You need a break—not a guilt trip. Whether it’s three hours weekly or a full weekend, our aides take over so you actually rest. Caregiving burnout is real; we interrupt it.
When round-the-clock needs can’t wait for business hours, we’re there. Our aides staff your home continuously, managing nights, early mornings, and everything between. Full-time care, your way.
Moving to a facility feels wrong when home is where they belong. Live-in aides become part of your household, handling personal care and daily support while your loved one stays in familiar surroundings.
Rockville General Hospital discharge planners know us—we step in when you come home needing help. We manage wound care, medication schedules, mobility assistance, and the confusion of recovery. Healing happens faster with proper support.
Wandering puts your heart in your throat. Our aides trained in elopement risk understand the urge to leave, redirect safely, and keep your loved one engaged indoors. You can breathe easier knowing they’re monitored.
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 would actually help.
We choose based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just who’s available. Before anyone arrives, we brief them on your parent’s routine, preferences, and what a good day looks like.
Most families in Somers have someone in place within two days. For urgent situations, like a hospital discharge, we can often arrange care the same day.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something changes or feels off, you call us directly. We answer.
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 areas of Somers, including homes along Route 83, around Soapstone Mountain, near Shenipsit State Forest, in the Village area, off Ninth District Road, and throughout the rural roads and neighborhoods across town. If your parent lives in Somers, we can get someone there.
Often the same day your parent comes home. We know that discharge planning from Rockville General Hospital or nearby regional hospitals can happen quickly, and families are often scrambling to figure out what happens next. Call us as soon as you know a discharge date, and we'll have a caregiver ready when your parent walks through the door.
Yes. We're a private-pay agency, which means families pay directly for care. We don't work with insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This lets us move quickly, stay flexible, and match caregivers based on your parent's actual needs instead of what a policy covers.
We're a private-pay agency, which means we work for your family, not an insurance company. We vet caregivers carefully, we brief them before they arrive, and we stay involved after care starts. Staffing agencies often send whoever's available and move on. We match based on personality and needs, and we check in regularly so you're not managing this alone.
Yes, and this is one of the most common situations we handle. We start slow. Sometimes the caregiver comes in as someone who helps with light tasks, runs errands, or just keeps your parent company. We don't push, and we don't make it feel clinical. Over time, your parent gets used to having someone around, and care becomes part of the routine instead of something they're fighting.
We handle it. If a caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we find coverage and let you know right away. You're not left scrambling or managing backup yourself. That's part of what you're paying for, someone else holding that responsibility so you don't have to.
