Live-In Care in Chaplin, CT
A live-in caregiver who stays in the home full-time, the most consistent alternative to a facility.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
You noticed it at Thanksgiving, when your mom didn’t come down to help with dinner like always. She’s still in the same bedroom where she raised you, and she’s made it clear she won’t leave Chaplin for anything. A fall last month, some confusion about her medications, and your sister working two states away means someone needs to be there, all day and night. That’s when Live-In Care started making sense.

Live-In Care means a trained caregiver lives in your parent’s home, providing full-time support 24/7. They’re there for the early morning, the afternoon slump, the middle-of-the-night moments. It’s the alternative to moving to assisted living when your parent refuses to leave their house, their neighborhood, the life they’ve built.
On any given day, your caregiver handles medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, mobility help, and companionship. They notice things, like when appetite changes or when a doctor’s call needs follow-up. They’re the person your parent sees first in the morning and last at night. You get rest knowing someone you trust is there.
After discharge from Windham Hospital, many Chaplin families turn to Live-In Care to bridge the gap between hospital care and independent living. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how to read a discharge plan, follow clinical protocols, and work alongside your parent’s doctors. We know Windham County and the people who live here, and we know what it takes to help someone stay home safely.
Our founder spent years helping families in situations like yours, where moving isn’t an option and full-time presence is the answer. We don’t try to convince anyone to leave Chaplin. We help them stay, safely.
We talk to you about your parent’s habits, preferences, and medical needs before anyone walks through the door. We talk to the caregiver about your family. The first weeks matter, and we stay close while everyone settles in.
Health changes, schedules shift, or a caregiver needs to step back. You can call us, and we listen. We adjust. We don’t hand you off after week one.
We know the discharge process at Windham Hospital and we understand Chaplin’s rhythms, roads, and resources. Your parent’s care isn’t a ticket in a national system. It’s personal.

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, and handles light housekeeping. They're present for doctor's appointments, errands, and companionship. At night, they sleep in the home and respond to any needs. The daily rhythm is yours to shape, not ours.
We can often start within days of discharge if we have a good match. We ask for a few days to brief the caregiver on your parent's medical needs, home layout, and routines. If your parent is coming home from Windham Hospital, call us as soon as you know a discharge date and we'll move fast.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover 24/7 in-home care. That said, some families use long-term care insurance, veteran benefits, or Medicaid planning to help with costs. We can talk through your situation honestly and point you to resources.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours per week and is ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care means someone is there around the clock, every day, as a stable presence. It's full-time employment, not a medical service scheduled by your insurance. Home health and Live-In Care can work together.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, medical history, daily habits, and what matters most to them. We introduce caregivers carefully and we're upfront if we don't have a good fit. A bad match wastes everyone's time, so we take this seriously.
We maintain backup coverage so your parent isn't left without support. If a caregiver is sick or needs time off, we have someone ready to step in. We communicate with you right away. Continuity matters, but safety comes first.
