Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is one caregiver in your parent’s home, full-time. They’re there through the day, overnight, and on weekends. It’s not part-time visits. It’s presence. Someone who knows the routine, knows your parent, and can handle what comes up without calling an ambulance for every small thing.
A typical day includes medication reminders and management, meals prepared and eaten together, help with bathing and dressing, household tasks that keep the home running, and company during the long stretches when isolation feels worst. You’re not paying for a nurse to come by three times a week. You’re paying for someone to be there, awake and available, when it’s 2 a.m. and your parent needs help getting to the bathroom.
Waterbury Hospital knows the discharge reality. Families come home from that facility thinking their parent will manage alone, and three days later you’re worried sick. We’re nurse-founded, so we understand what post-discharge recovery actually requires. Being local to Litchfield County means we know the Waterbury Hospital discharge team and can coordinate the transition so your parent isn’t alone during the vulnerable days.
Our founder built this company after managing her own family’s crisis at home. We’re not offering a rotation of part-time aides or checking boxes. Live-In Care means one person, steady and present, overnight and all day. That continuity is what keeps your parent safe and lets you sleep.
We spend time understanding what your parent actually needs, not what the form says they need. Then we place someone who fits those specifics. A caregiver who gets your parent’s rhythm, their preferences, what they need from conversation. That match is the whole thing.
Your parent’s needs change. A health crisis happens. A caregiver needs to leave. We’re reachable. We don’t hand you off after placement and assume it’s working. If something’s not right, we solve it, quickly.
We know Bethlehem, Woodbury, Morris, Litchfield, Washington. We know the local doctors, the Waterbury Hospital discharge process, the roads and neighborhoods. That local knowledge matters when you need to move fast.

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
A caregiver arrives in the morning and stays through the night. They prepare meals, remind about medications, help with showering or bathing, handle laundry and basic housekeeping, and provide company and supervision all day. Evening and overnight, they're alert and available. If your parent wakes at 3 a.m. confused, someone is there. If they fall, someone knows immediately. It's the opposite of hoping nothing goes wrong.
We can often place a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on the specific needs and our available matches. We work directly with Waterbury Hospital's discharge team to understand what your parent needs and when. If the discharge is planned, we can start the matching process before your parent leaves the hospital. Emergency situations move faster because we understand the urgency.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits and part-time home health aides under specific conditions, but not full-time in-home presence. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal funds. We can discuss what your costs might look like, but we're honest: this is an out-of-pocket expense. For many families, it's still less expensive than assisted living and lets your parent stay home.
A home health aide typically visits a few times a week for a few hours, often scheduled by a medical agency. Live-In Care is one consistent person in your parent's home, all day and overnight, every day. The caregiver knows your parent's whole routine and can prevent crises instead of just responding to them. With Live-In Care, you're not coordinating multiple schedules. You have continuity.
Yes. We meet with your family, ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, health needs, preferences, and daily rhythm. Then we find someone who fits those specifics. Maybe your parent needs someone patient with memory loss, or someone who can manage medications carefully, or someone who speaks their language. We don't place a generic caregiver. We place the right person.
We have backup coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has to leave, we arrange coverage so your parent isn't alone. We let you know immediately, and we work to minimize disruption. In the rare event we can't place a backup, you're involved in the conversation. We don't disappear and hope you figure it out.
