Home Care in Weston, CT
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom lives in Weston. Has for years. The house is quiet, the neighbors know her, everything she needs is within reach. But now getting through the day takes more effort than it used to, and you’re trying to figure out what happens next without turning her life upside down.
We’re Private Duty Aides. We send someone who can actually help.

Your parent says they’re fine. And maybe they are, most of the time. But you’re in Westport or driving up from Fairfield, and every time the phone rings you wonder if something happened. The house is big, the help they used to have isn’t there anymore, and you’re the one holding it all together while trying to run your own life.
Weston is spread out. It’s quiet, private, the kind of place where people take care of things themselves. That works until it doesn’t. Maybe your dad had a fall and spent three days at Norwalk Hospital, and now the discharge planner is asking who’s going to be at home with him. Or your mom can’t drive anymore and the isolation is starting to show.
Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families try to patch care together on their own. We’re not a staffing service. We’re a small agency that takes the time to match the right person to your parent, brief them before they arrive, and stay reachable when something feels off.
We don’t do medical care. We do the things that make it possible for someone to stay home: companionship, meals, help getting dressed, reminders to take medication, a steady presence so they’re not alone all day.
Your parent sits alone most days while you’re managing work and family. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, outings to Weston parks, or simply being present. They handle errands, attend appointments, and keep your loved one engaged and connected to their community.
Morning routines feel overwhelming—bathing, dressing, grooming. Our aides handle these intimate tasks with skill and respect, letting your family member maintain dignity while you focus on other responsibilities. We’re trained in safe mobility and personal hygiene across all ability levels.
You’re watching someone you love become harder to reach. Our aides understand behavioral shifts, memory loss patterns, and how to respond without frustration. They create structured routines that reduce confusion and keep your loved one safe in familiar surroundings throughout Fairfield County.
The person you knew is still there, but communication is changing. Our aides trained in Alzheimer’s progression know how to connect through activities, music, and patience. They monitor safety, manage medications, and give you honest updates on what they’re observing each day.
Tremors, rigidity, and balance problems make simple tasks dangerous. Our aides understand Parkinson’s-specific challenges—fall prevention, medication timing, speech difficulties. They adapt assistance as symptoms change, keeping your loved one mobile and independent as long as possible.
You need a break. Whether it’s a few hours weekly or an overnight stay, our aides take over so you can rest, run errands, or spend time on yourself. Respite isn’t luxury—it’s necessary so you don’t burn out caring for your family member.
Round-the-clock supervision means someone’s always there. Our aides manage night hours when falls happen, medication schedules that don’t pause, and emergencies that can’t wait for business hours. Your loved one stays home while getting constant attention and support.
Moving your parent into a facility feels wrong, but managing their needs alone is unsustainable. Our live-in aides become part of your household, handling daily care while your loved one stays in their own home, surrounded by their things and family.
Norwalk Hospital discharged your loved one, but they’re weak and confused about new medications. Our aides bridge that gap—monitoring recovery, preventing falls, managing wound care, and catching complications early so you avoid readmission.
Your family member with dementia keeps trying to leave. Our aides provide vigilant supervision without restraint, understanding the urge to wander while keeping them safe. We redirect, engage, and ensure they’re never left unsupervised in Weston.
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: background checks, references, 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 Weston and Fairfield County. Most families have care within 48 hours of their first call.
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 your parent needs.
We match based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just who’s available. Before anyone arrives, we brief them on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like.
Most families in Weston have someone 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. 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 Weston, whether your parent lives near the town center, off Route 57, or in one of the quieter stretches toward Easton or Redding. Weston is spread out, but we know the area and can place caregivers anywhere in town. If you're wondering whether we can reach your parent's home, the answer is yes.
We can often have someone in place the same day, especially if the discharge is planned. If your parent is at Norwalk Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, or Bridgeport Hospital and the team says they can't go home alone, call us as soon as you know the discharge date. We'll coordinate timing so a caregiver is there when your parent arrives home. Most post-hospital placements in Weston happen within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes. We're private pay only. That means you pay us directly, and we don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. It also means we're not bound by insurance rules about what care we can provide or how many hours we can offer. You decide what your parent needs, and we make it happen.
A staffing agency sends whoever is available. A private-pay agency like ours takes the time to match the right caregiver to your parent based on personality, needs, and schedule. We brief our caregivers before they arrive, we stay involved after care starts, and we're reachable when something changes. You're working with a small team that knows your family, not a call center.
Sometimes. It depends on what's behind the refusal. If your parent is resistant because they don't want a stranger in the house, we can start slow: a few hours a week framed as companionship, not "care." Our caregivers are good at building trust without pushing. If your parent has dementia or a safety issue that makes refusal dangerous, we'll talk through whether home care is the right fit or if you need a different level of support.
We find coverage. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we'll send someone else who's been briefed on your parent's routine. You won't be left scrambling. That's one reason families choose a private agency over hiring independently: there's a team behind the caregiver, and we handle the backup plan.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
