Your mom’s doctor at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital mentioned she shouldn’t be alone all day, but the moment you suggested moving closer to you or into a facility, she shut down completely.

Live-In Care is having a trained caregiver in your parent’s home during the day and overnight, handling the things that pile up when someone can’t manage alone anymore. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s the steady presence that prevents the small problems from becoming emergencies. Your parent stays in their own home, their own bed, their own routine.
On any given day, you’re looking at help with meals, medications, bathing, dressing, mobility around the house, errands, and just someone being there if something goes wrong at 2 a.m. A Live-In caregiver also watches for changes, keeps records, and communicates with you about what’s actually happening instead of you guessing. It’s the alternative to assisted living for people who would rather stay home, and it works.
Many families come to us right after a hospital stay, when Charlotte Hungerford Hospital has made clear that your parent needs supervision but doesn’t need skilled nursing care at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical situations and we know how to match the right caregiver to the right person, not just fill a schedule. Being local to Litchfield County, we work with discharge planners at Charlotte Hungerford and know the gaps that often exist between hospital and home.
Our founder spent years as a nurse watching families struggle with the same choice you’re facing now. We built this service around what actually works, not what looks good on paper. That background shapes everything we do in Live-In Care.
We don’t just send someone to your parent’s Colebrook home and hope for the best. We meet with your family first, learn what matters, and match a caregiver thoughtfully. Experience matters, but personality and reliability matter more.
Live-In Care situations shift. Your parent’s needs change, the caregiver has a health issue, or you need to adjust the plan. You have direct contact with us, not an answering service that takes messages.
We know the hospitals here, the doctors, the discharge process, and the rhythm of Colebrook. That local knowledge means we can move faster and understand your situation without a long explanation.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Live-In Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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 typical day includes help with breakfast and medication, bathing or showering, getting dressed, any medical appointments or errands, lunch and dinner preparation, assistance with mobility around the home, reminders about taking medications, and overnight presence. The caregiver also watches for signs of infection, falls, confusion, or other changes and reports back to you. You set the rhythm based on your parent's needs, not on a fixed schedule.
If you call us before or right after discharge, we can often start within 24 to 48 hours. We work directly with the hospital's discharge team and understand the urgency. We'll do a brief phone intake, match a caregiver, and get them to your parent's Colebrook home quickly. If you need something faster, tell us, and we'll do our best.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay directly for the service. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time in-home caregiving unless there's a specific medical need met by a licensed nurse, which is different. We can help you understand what your parent's coverage might include and work within your budget.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few days a week on a doctor's order and focuses on specific medical tasks. Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent's home most or all of the time, handling daily life and being present for whatever comes up. Think of it as the difference between a few visits and a full-time presence.
Yes. We meet with you first to understand your parent's personality, any specific medical needs, language preferences, and what matters most. We have caregivers with different backgrounds and experience, and we take time to find the right fit. The first week or two is always an adjustment, but we make changes if it's not working.
We maintain backup coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we either shift another caregiver into that slot or we find a temporary replacement quickly. You won't be left without coverage. We give you advance notice whenever possible and we communicate directly, not through a chain of calls.
