Your sister called after seeing your mom at the holiday dinner in Cromwell, noticing she’d lost weight and seemed confused about dates.

Live-in care means one of our caregivers lives in your parent’s home full-time, providing the presence and support that keeps them safe and independent. It’s not a nurse, not a housekeeper, not an aide stopping by for two hours. It’s someone there when your parent wakes up, when they need help with the day, when they’re confused at midnight, when they need to get to an appointment.
On a typical day, your caregiver handles bathing and dressing, meal prep and medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and just being present. You get phone calls from someone who knows your parent, not a stranger. You sleep better because you know someone is there if something goes wrong.
Many Cromwell families contact us after a hospital stay at Middlesex Hospital, when discharge planners say your parent needs more support than home health can provide. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical situations, medication schedules, and when something has changed. We also understand that your parent might be refusing to move to assisted living, and live-in care can be the bridge that keeps them home.
Our founder was a nurse who watched families struggle with the choice between independence and safety. Live-in care isn’t about moving; it’s about bringing help into the life your parent already has. We know the difference between a care plan on paper and actually being there at 2 a.m.
You tell us about your parent, their routines, what matters to them, what worries you. We listen before we assign anyone. When your caregiver arrives in Cromwell, they’ve been briefed and they fit, not just in skills but in personality and approach.
Live-in care situations change. Medications shift, new symptoms appear, family needs adjust. You call us directly, not an automated line. We respond and adjust because we’re local and because we care about the long term.
We work with Middlesex Hospital regularly on discharges. We know the doctors, the pharmacies, the neighborhoods of Cromwell. That local knowledge means fewer mistakes and faster solutions.

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 present from wake-up through bedtime, handling personal care like bathing and dressing, preparing meals, managing medications and reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, and companionship. They also handle transportation to doctor appointments, grocery shopping, and errands. They're there to notice if something has changed, like a fall, confusion, or pain your parent didn't mention to you.
We often start within 24 to 48 hours after a hospital discharge, depending on the level of match needed and caregiver availability. Many families contact us before discharge so we can be ready from day one. We coordinate with hospital discharge planners and can often have someone in place the same day your parent comes home.
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 care. However, some families find that the cost is comparable to assisted living facilities, and your parent stays home. We're transparent about pricing and can discuss payment options with you.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day, usually for specific medical tasks ordered by a doctor. Live-in care means someone is present all day and night, providing a continuity of care and presence that prevents falls, medication errors, and the isolation that can follow a health crisis. Home health can be part of the plan, but live-in care is the safety net.
Yes, we listen carefully to your parent's needs, personality, and routines before any match. If your parent needs someone with experience managing dementia, medication complexity, or mobility challenges, we find that. We also consider personality fit because your parent has to actually want the caregiver there. We've matched hundreds of people across Cromwell and nearby towns.
We maintain backup coverage so there's always someone available if your regular caregiver becomes sick or needs a day off. We give you advance notice and we introduce backup caregivers beforehand so your parent isn't meeting someone new in an emergency. Your continuity matters to us.
