Your mom lives in Georgetown. Has for years. She’s been independent her whole life, and you’re trying to respect that. But the phone calls are getting harder to shake off. She sounds tired. The house feels different when you visit. You’re working full time, you can’t be there every day, and the question you keep asking yourself is: how do I make sure she’s safe without taking over her life?

Because you can’t keep making the drive every time something feels off

You’re managing this from Norwalk, or from Westport, or from a desk downtown. Your dad is still in the house in Wilton Center. He says he’s fine, but you know he’s not eating much. The stairs are getting harder. You’re trying to coordinate doctor’s visits and groceries and bills, and somewhere in the middle of all that, you realize you need another set of hands. Someone who can actually be there.

The hard part is letting someone in. Your parent doesn’t want a stranger in the house. You don’t want to hand over control to just anyone. And every agency you’ve called so far feels like they’re reading from a script. You need someone who understands what this transition actually feels like for both of you.

Private Duty Aides was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families try to manage alone until it became a crisis. We built this agency around what families in Fairfield County actually need: careful vetting, honest communication, and caregivers who show up prepared because we’ve briefed them on your parent before they ever walk through the door.

Care that fits what’s happening in your family right now

We’re not here to sell you a package. We’re here to respond to what you’re actually dealing with. Your mom needs someone to sit with her a few afternoons a week. Your dad just got home from Norwalk Hospital and can’t be alone. Whatever the situation is, we match the care to it.

Companion Care

Your parent sits alone most afternoons while you’re at work. Our aides visit regularly for conversation, outings to Wilton’s parks, or help with errands. They’re trained to spot isolation and keep your loved one engaged and connected to their community.

Tremors, rigidity, and mobility challenges require specific training. Our aides know how to assist with movement safely, manage medication timing, and prevent falls—critical skills for Fairfield County families managing Parkinson’s progression.

You need a break. Whether it’s a few hours weekly or overnight, our aides take over so you can rest, run errands, or simply breathe. Regular respite prevents caregiver burnout and keeps families functioning.

How it works

How home care gets started

1

We listen. No pressure, no forms to fill out before we’ll talk to you. Just a conversation about what’s happening and what you need.

2

We choose someone based on personality, schedule, and care needs, not just whoever is available. Before they arrive, we brief them on your parent: their routine, their preferences, what a good day looks like.

3

Most families in Wilton have someone in place within two days. If it’s urgent, we move faster. We’ve placed caregivers same-day when a family needed it.

4

We check in weekly so you’re never left wondering. If something feels off, you call us directly. We answer. You’re never dealing with a voicemail tree.

Why families choose us

Not every agency is the same agency

clinical eyes

Clinically-Informed Oversight

Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.

the right fit

Matched, Not Assigned

Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.

no franchise

Boutique, Not Call Center

No franchise rotation. You work with the people who run this agency — direct, accessible, accountable.

no waiting

24–48 Hour Start

Most families are matched with a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours. When something shifts at home, we move quickly.

the rhythm

Routine-Based Care

We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.

straight talk

Real Communication

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

Home Care questions from Wilton families

Do you serve all neighborhoods in Wilton?

Yes. We serve Wilton Center, Georgetown, Cannondale, and every part of Wilton. We know the town well, and our caregivers are comfortable getting to homes throughout the area. If your parent lives in Wilton, we can help.

How quickly can care start after a discharge from Norwalk Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, or Danbury Hospital?

We've placed caregivers the same day a parent was discharged. Most families have someone in place within 48 hours. If you're coordinating a discharge and you know your parent can't be alone, call us as early as possible. We'll have someone ready when they get home.

Is Private Duty Aides a private-pay agency in Wilton?

Yes. We're a private-pay agency, which means families pay directly for care. We don't bill insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This gives you total control over who comes into your parent's home, what hours they work, and what kind of care they provide. No waiting for authorization. No coverage limits.

What's the difference between a private-pay agency and a staffing agency?

A staffing agency sends whoever is available. A private-pay agency like ours matches caregivers based on fit: personality, experience, and what your parent actually needs. We vet carefully, we brief every caregiver before they arrive, and we stay involved. You're not just getting a body in the house. You're getting someone we'd trust with our own parents.

Can you provide care if my parent refuses help?

Yes, and we see this all the time. We start slow. The caregiver comes as a companion first, not as someone there to "take over." They help with small things: making lunch, sitting and talking, running an errand together. Over time, your parent gets used to having them around. The resistance usually fades once they realize this person is here to help, not to boss them around.

What happens if our caregiver can't make it?

We find coverage. If your caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we don't leave you hanging. We'll send someone else who's been briefed on your parent, or we'll call you directly to figure out a plan. You won't wake up the morning of a shift and find out no one is coming.
