Your mom called her neighbor on Hebron Road instead of you, asking for a ride to the store. When you heard about it, something shifted. She’s still in her own house, still independent in her mind, but the gaps are getting bigger. That’s when Live-In Care starts to make sense.

Live-In Care means someone is there during the day and overnight, every day. They’re present for the moments that matter most, and for the ones in between. It’s not medical nursing, and it’s not part-time help. It’s a full-time presence that lets your parent stay at home while someone watches over things.
On a typical day, your caregiver handles meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, appointments, and conversation. They notice changes you might miss because you’re not there every morning. They know when your parent skipped breakfast or stayed up too late. They’re the person your parent sees first thing and last thing, every single day.
Many Andover families turn to Live-In Care after a discharge from Manchester Memorial Hospital, when recovery needs a steady hand for months, not weeks. We were founded by a nurse who lived through this exact transition with her own family. That’s why we understand what full-time presence actually requires, and why we built our service around keeping people home instead of moving them somewhere else.
Most people want to stay in their own home, and we don’t ask them to leave. Live-In Care is the bridge between independence and the assisted living conversation nobody wants to have yet. Our founder was a nurse who realized this option existed long before families think to ask for it.
You don’t get a stranger walking in. You get someone we’ve already trained on your parent’s routine, preferences, medications, and the things that matter to them. We do the matching carefully, and we stay involved after day one. It’s not just about hiring, it’s about continuity.
Live-In Care situations change. Your parent gets sicker, or better, or you need a backup plan fast. You reach us directly, and we respond. No call center, no waiting for a callback. You get the person who knows your family’s situation.
We’re based here, not somewhere else. We know the discharge process at Manchester Memorial Hospital, the local doctors your parent sees, and the neighborhoods of Andover. That local knowledge matters when you’re making a decision that big.

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
Your caregiver prepares meals, reminds about medications, helps with bathing or dressing if needed, handles light housekeeping and laundry, drives to appointments, runs errands, and just sits with your parent. They're watching for falls, confusion, or changes you should know about. They're the consistent presence that makes it possible for your parent to stay home safely. It's not medical care, but it's constant, steady support.
We can usually place a caregiver within days if you call us right away. Hospital discharge planners know to reach out, and we work directly with Manchester Memorial staff. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can start the matching process. We've helped families bridge that gap between hospital and home many times.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. The cost depends on the hours and level of support your parent needs. We can give you a clear estimate once we understand what you're looking for. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and others plan for it ahead of time.
Home health aides come for a few hours a day and usually need a medical reason for insurance to cover it. Live-In Care is full-time, with someone present day and night. It's about constant presence, not just tasks. You get consistency, oversight, and peace of mind that someone is there if something happens at 2 a.m.
Yes. We ask a lot of questions first: what your parent's personality is like, what routines matter to them, what skills your caregiver needs, and what you need to feel confident. We've matched caregivers across all areas of Andover for years. The match is as important as the caregiver themselves.
We have a backup plan ready. You don't have a gap in coverage because someone got sick. We've trained alternates who know your parent or we bring in someone we trust from our network. Your parent's routine stays as consistent as possible, and you know we have it handled.
