Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means someone is there, in your parent’s home, full-time. They’re not a visitor coming for an hour. They’re present for meals, medications, movement through the house, and the moments when things go sideways at 2 a.m. It’s the alternative when your parent refuses to leave home but can’t safely manage alone anymore.
On any given day, your caregiver handles what keeps your parent independent: helping with bathing and dressing, preparing meals and making sure they actually eat, managing medications on time, light housekeeping, companionship, and keeping an eye out for falls or changes in mood or health. They’re also your eyes and ears, noticing things a weekly visit would miss. You get a real person in the home, not a schedule.
Families in Ansonia often arrange Live-In Care right after a hospital stay, especially post-discharge from Griffin Hospital when your parent comes home but isn’t ready to live alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand both the medical side and the emotional reality of full-time care. We know how to brief your caregiver on what matters, match them to your parent’s personality, and be here when things shift.
Our founders are nurses who’ve sat with families through exactly this decision. We understand why your parent won’t move and why you can’t do this alone. That background shapes how we set up every Live-In Care match so it actually works.
We don’t just send someone available. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what rhythm works for your family. Then we stay involved, checking in and adjusting if things need to shift. Good matches make all the difference over months and years.
Live-In Care situations evolve. Your parent’s health can shift, or you might need backup coverage, or the dynamic might need adjusting. You reach someone who knows your family, not a call center reading your file.
We know Ansonia, Derby, Shelton, and how Griffin Hospital handles discharge. We’re already connected to local providers, and we understand the rhythm of care in this area. That matters when you’re coordinating things quickly.

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 arrives early morning and stays through the night. They help your parent wash and dress, prepare and monitor meals, manage medications exactly on time, assist with movement around the house, and handle light housekeeping so the home stays comfortable. They're awake overnight, so if your parent needs help at 3 a.m., someone is there. They also watch for changes, infections, mood shifts, or anything that needs attention, and they report back to you.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours if you call right away. If your parent is still in the hospital, we coordinate directly with the discharge team at Griffin to understand what they need and get a briefing on medications and mobility. If discharge is coming up, contact us before they leave so we can be ready on arrival day. The faster you connect, the smoother the transition home.
No, Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and home health aides for specific medical conditions, but full-time in-home care is typically out-of-pocket. We work with families to discuss what they can manage and be honest about costs upfront. Many families find it less expensive than assisted living while keeping their parent at home, which is what they wanted anyway.
Home health aides are sent by an agency for a few hours a few times a week, usually focused on a specific medical goal. Live-In Care is full-time presence in your parent's home, day and night, providing both practical care and continuity. It's about keeping someone safe and supported 24/7, not completing a checklist of tasks. It's the difference between a visitor and someone actually living in the home.
Yes. We spend time understanding who your parent is, what they need physically, what their personality is like, and what your family rhythm looks like. We then match thoughtfully rather than just sending whoever is available. If the first match isn't right, we adjust. A good fit matters enormously over months of daily contact.
We have backup coverage built in. If your regular caregiver gets sick or has a personal emergency, we send someone from our network to maintain continuity. We let you know as soon as we know, and the backup caregiver comes briefed on your parent's routine, medications, and preferences. Your parent isn't left hanging, and you're not scrambling.
