Live-In Care means a trained caregiver lives in your parent’s home, full-time, to provide support with daily life. It’s not medical nursing, and it’s not a part-time aide who visits a few hours a week. It’s a constant, steady presence that keeps your parent in their own home while covering the things they can’t safely manage alone anymore.
A typical day includes help with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, household tasks, errands, and companionship. Your parent gets someone there early morning and late evening, someone who knows their routines, their preferences, and their medical history. You get a phone call instead of a middle-of-the-night worry. The bills still get paid. Appointments still happen.
In Avon, families often choose Live-In Care after a discharge from Hartford Hospital or when aging at home becomes real. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, and we know the difference between checking boxes and actually keeping someone safe. We’re also in Hartford County, so we know the hospitals, the roads, and the specific needs of Avon families.
Your parent has lived in their Avon home for decades. They’re not going to assisted living, and honestly, they shouldn’t have to. We’re nurse-founded, which means we built this service around families who want to keep their parents home, not convince them to leave. That’s different.
We spend time learning who your parent is, what their day looks like, and what kind of person will actually fit. A good Live-In Care match means your caregiver becomes part of the household rhythm. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that matters more than anything else.
Live-In Care situations change. Your parent’s health changes, your family’s schedule changes, your needs change. We don’t disappear after we place someone. You can reach us when something feels off, when you need to adjust, or when you need backup fast.
We work with discharges from Hartford Hospital regularly. We know the process, the paperwork, and what your parent actually needs on day one at home. Being local to Avon and the surrounding towns means we show up the same day if something urgent happens.

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 is there for morning help with bathing, dressing, and breakfast. They handle medications, groceries, cooking, light housekeeping, and laundry. They're available for appointments, errands, and evening care. They're also there for conversation, watching television together, or just being in the house while your parent reads or rests. It's full-time presence, not just task completion.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours in most cases. We coordinate directly with Hartford Hospital discharge planning, so we know what your parent needs before they come home. If you call us while your parent is still in the hospital, we can brief our caregiver on medical history, medications, and any special instructions ahead of time. That makes the transition much smoother.
Live-In Care is private pay, which means you and your family cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or part-time home health aides, but not full-time in-home caregiving. We can help you explore whether any of your parent's benefits might contribute, but Live-In Care is typically paid out of pocket, savings, or family resources.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, usually after a hospital discharge and under a doctor's order. Live-In Care is full-time presence, often ongoing, and doesn't require a medical prescription. Home health is more medical and time-limited. Live-In Care is about maintaining life at home, day in and day out, for months or years.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their medical history, their daily rhythm, and what matters most to them. Then we introduce a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. We've found that personality match and shared interests make a real difference in how well Live-In Care actually works in practice.
We have backup caregivers we can deploy quickly. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we notify you as early as possible and send a trained replacement who's already familiar with your parent's situation. You won't wake up to surprises. We keep you informed and we keep your parent covered.
