Home Care in New London County
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Voluntown is a quieter corner of New London County. Many families here have owned homes for generations. They value self-reliance, and they know their neighbors. When a parent starts needing help with daily life, it’s not something families rush into. There’s often a period of negotiation, of trying to manage alone, of adult children checking in more frequently and wondering if something’s wrong. That’s normal. And it’s also when waiting becomes dangerous.
A lot of Voluntown families find us after a discharge from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. Sometimes it’s elective surgery; sometimes it’s a fall or a cardiac event. Either way, hospitals have discharge dates. Your parent comes home, and you realize the house isn’t set up for recovery. Or you realize your parent isn’t ready to be alone. That’s when a few days of private care can make the difference between a smooth recovery at home and a readmission.
We serve Voluntown, Sterling, Griswold, North Stonington, and Plainfield. But Voluntown families are our core. We understand the geography, the traffic patterns, the hospitals, and the rhythm of life in this part of the county. We’ve matched caregivers to your neighbors. We know what works here.
Voluntown is a place where people value independence and community. Many of the families we work with have roots here, adult children nearby but not right next door, and aging parents who’ve lived in their homes for decades. When care becomes necessary, it’s not a crisis; it’s a transition. But transitions are hard, especially when you’re juggling work, your own family, and the weight of knowing your parent needs more support than a weekly visit allows.
That’s where we come in. We’re not here to replace family or to take over a person’s life. We’re here to fill the gap so your loved one can stay home, stay safe, and stay part of the life they’ve built. We match one caregiver to your family and stick with them. Your parent gets consistency. You get peace of mind. And because we’re nurse-founded, every placement is reviewed through a clinical lens, not just a staffing checklist.
Whether your loved one needs someone to help with daily tasks, provide company after a hospital stay, or receive specialized support for memory loss, we match the right caregiver to the right situation. These aren’t one-size-fits-all placements. They’re tailored to your family.
Your parent sits alone most afternoons in Voluntown while you’re at work. An aide visits for conversation, errands, and genuine company. Someone checks in, listens, helps with light tasks. Your loved one stays engaged. You stop worrying about isolation.
The morning routine—bathing, dressing, grooming—has become harder. Our aides handle these intimate tasks with skill, letting your family member maintain dignity while you focus on what matters most.
Memory loss changes everything. Your loved one forgets names, repeats questions, gets frustrated. We work with behavioral patterns, create routines that feel safe, and help your family understand what’s actually happening beneath the confusion.
As Alzheimer’s progresses near Memorial Hospital’s service area, standard care isn’t enough. We specialize in late-stage needs—safe bathing, communication, managing difficult behaviors—so your family doesn’t face this alone.
Tremors, stiffness, falling risk—Parkinson’s demands expertise. Our aides understand mobility challenges, medication timing, and when symptoms worsen. We keep your loved one safe through each stage in New London County homes.
You’ve been the caregiver for months. You need a break—real time away, not guilt. Our aides take over completely so you can rest, knowing your family member is secure and well-cared for.
Midnight confusion. 3 a.m. bathroom emergencies. Dawn wandering. Round-the-clock needs mean someone must always be there. We provide overnight and continuous coverage so your family sleeps knowing help is present.
Your loved one needs constant support, and you need your home back to normal. A live-in aide manages daily care, cooking, household tasks—becoming part of the household while you reclaim your own routine.
Discharged from Memorial Hospital with new limitations and medications. You’re unsure what’s normal recovery versus dangerous. Our aides bridge that gap—monitoring, assisting, communicating with doctors until independence returns.
Your family member leaves the house without warning. You panic. We provide specialized supervision—alert presence without restraint—preventing wandering while respecting dignity in Voluntown and surrounding areas.

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’re not just a staffing company. We care about outcomes.
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 business model. Consistency matters for your family.
Most agencies take one to two weeks to place a caregiver. We have a vetted roster ready in New London County. Most families in Voluntown have care within 48 hours of the first call.
How it works
We listen. No pressure. No forms before we’ve talked. You tell us what’s happening, and we ask questions to understand your family and what you need.
We don’t just look at availability. We match based on personality, schedule fit, and care needs. If it’s not right, we keep looking.
Often same day if the need is urgent. Most Voluntown families have their caregiver in place by the end of the week we call.
We check in weekly. You’re never left wondering how things are going. If something needs to change, we adjust.
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 Voluntown and surrounding New London County neighborhoods. Whether you're near downtown Voluntown, out toward Sterling, or anywhere in between, our caregivers can reach you. If you're unsure, call us and we'll confirm coverage for your specific address.
Often the same day or next day. If you know your parent is being discharged, call us before discharge day. We can have a caregiver in place to pick them up or meet them at home. If discharge is unexpected, we still move fast. Same-day or next-day care is the norm for us in Voluntown.
Yes. We are private-pay only. We do not bill insurance or Medicaid. Costs are transparent and discussed upfront. We know this model isn't for everyone, but it means our caregivers work for your family's best interest, not for insurance requirements.
A staffing agency treats caregiving like any other temp job. Your caregiver might change weekly. A private-pay agency, like ours, matches one caregiver to your family and builds a relationship. We also have oversight from a nurse. Your caregiver is trained, vetted, and supported. There's continuity and accountability.
This is one of the hardest situations families face. We've been here. Our caregivers are trained in gentle communication and meeting your parent where they are. Often, resistance softens when the right person shows up. But we're honest: if your parent is refusing care entirely, we may need to start with a companion visit, not personal care. Let's talk about your specific situation.
We notify you immediately and provide a backup caregiver as quickly as possible. We maintain a roster of trained secondaries for exactly this reason. Your care doesn't stop because one person is out. We keep you informed every step of the way.
