Home Care in Stamford, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives in Shippan Point. Has for years. You’re trying to visit from Westchester on weekends, but now she’s calling you three times a day because she can’t remember if she took her pills, and you’re making the drive down twice a week just to check. You know she needs more help than you can give from an hour away, but every agency you’ve called feels like they’re reading from a script.
We’re a nurse-founded home care agency serving Stamford and Fairfield County. We listen first, match carefully, and stay reachable after care starts. Most families have someone in their parent’s home within 48 hours.
You’re trying to manage care from Greenwich or driving in from Darien on your lunch break. Your dad lives in North Stamford and insists he’s fine, but the mail is piling up and he’s eating crackers for dinner. You’ve called three agencies and they all asked the same intake questions without ever asking what kind of person your dad actually is. You need someone who gets it.
Families across Stamford call us when the distance becomes impossible to manage alone. Whether your parent is in Glenbrook, Springdale, Turn of River, or down by Shippan Point, we place caregivers who show up on time, follow through, and actually like this work. When your mom gets discharged from Stamford Hospital and the social worker hands you a list of agencies, we’re the one that picks up the phone and tells you exactly what happens next.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what good care looks like because we’ve done it ourselves. We vet carefully, we brief caregivers on your parent specifically before they ever walk in the door, and we stay reachable after care starts.
We offer non-medical home care in Stamford. That means companionship, help with daily routines, medication reminders, meals, and someone reliable in the house so you can stop worrying every time your phone rings.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, errands, and activities—keeping them engaged and connected. We serve Stamford families who need someone there without medical oversight.
Bathing, dressing, and toileting become harder to manage alone. Our aides handle these tasks with dignity, allowing your loved one to stay home instead of moving to a facility.
Sundowning, repetition, confusion—dementia changes everything overnight. Our aides are trained to redirect calmly, maintain routines, and recognize what triggers distress in your specific loved one.
Memory loss progresses differently for everyone. We work with Greenwich Hospital discharge planners and your doctors to adjust care as your loved one’s needs shift month to month.
Tremors, stiffness, and balance problems make ordinary tasks risky. Our aides prevent falls, manage medication timing, and help with the specific movements your loved one struggles with daily.
Caregiving exhaustion is real. Whether you need four hours or four days off, we cover so you can rest without guilt. Fairfield County families call us their lifeline.
When your loved one needs round-the-clock supervision, our aides work in shifts so someone is always present—sleeping, monitoring, responding to needs at 3 a.m.
One person, one home, stability. Our live-in aides manage meals, medication reminders, mobility, and nighttime care, reducing the chaos of multiple caregivers.
Discharged from Greenwich Hospital but still fragile? We bridge the gap between hospital and independence—wound care, mobility practice, medication tracking, and monitoring for complications.
Your loved one leaves the house and you panic. We provide attentive supervision, environmental awareness, and response strategies specific to your Stamford neighborhood and your person’s patterns.
Stamford is full of families who moved here for the train line, the schools, the proximity to New York. Now your parents are aging in the house they’ve lived in for thirty years and you’re trying to manage their care while commuting to the city or raising your own kids in Darien or New Canaan. The distance that used to feel manageable now feels impossible, especially when your mom falls or your dad ends up at Stamford Hospital and you’re getting the call at work.
We work with families all over Stamford, from the waterfront homes in Shippan Point to the quiet streets of North Stamford, Glenbrook, Springdale, and Turn of River. The need is the same everywhere: your parent wants to stay home, you want them safe, and you need someone you can trust to show up and do the work well. We place caregivers who live locally, know the area, and understand what it means to help someone stay independent in the place they know best.
When your parent is discharged from Stamford Hospital, the social worker hands you a list and tells you to arrange care by tomorrow. We’re the agency that picks up when you call, asks the right questions, and gets someone in place fast. We handle post-hospital transitions, long-term companion care, overnight support, and everything in between. Private pay means you call us directly and we answer to you, not an insurance company.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families fall through the gaps. We understand what good care looks like because we’ve lived it.
We vet every caregiver with background checks, references, and an in-person interview. Before anyone steps into your parent’s home, we brief them specifically on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like for them.
When something feels off, you call us directly. We answer. We’re new enough that every family we work with matters to us personally.
We have a dedicated team ready to assist in Stamford and Fairfield County. Most families have care within 48 hours of their first call.
How it works
We listen. No intake scripts, no pressure. Just a real conversation about what’s happening and what you need.
We match based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just who’s available. Before anyone shows up, we brief them on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like.
Most families in Stamford have care in place within two days. If it’s urgent, we can often start same day.
We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something feels off, you call us directly and 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 place caregivers throughout Stamford, including Shippan Point, North Stamford, Glenbrook, Springdale, and Turn of River. We also serve the surrounding Fairfield County towns like Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, and Norwalk. If your parent lives in the area, we can help.
Most families have care in place within 48 hours, and we can often start same day if it's urgent. When your parent is being discharged from Stamford Hospital, Greenwich Hospital, or Norwalk Hospital, call us as soon as you know the discharge date. We'll coordinate timing so someone is there when your parent gets home. Post-hospital care is one of the most common reasons families reach out to us, and we're set up to move quickly.
Yes. We're private pay only, which means you pay us directly and we answer to you, not an insurance company. We don't bill Medicare or Medicaid. This gives you control over who comes into your parent's home, when care happens, and how it's delivered. You call us when something needs to change, and we handle it.
A staffing agency sends whoever's available. We match based on your parent's personality and needs, not just the schedule. We brief caregivers before they show up so they already know your dad likes his coffee black and doesn't want the TV on during meals. Private pay also means you deal with us directly, so when something isn't working, you don't have to navigate a call center. You call, we fix it.
Yes, and it happens all the time. We start by introducing the caregiver as someone who's there to help with light tasks like meals or driving to appointments, so it feels less like "being taken care of" and more like having someone around. Many families tell us their parent warmed up within the first few visits once they realized the caregiver was easy to be around. We're patient and we don't force it.
We find coverage. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call you right away and send someone else who's been briefed on your parent. We don't leave you hanging. That's part of why families work with an agency instead of hiring independently.
