Live-In Care means a trained caregiver lives in your parent’s home and provides continuous support, from morning routines through evening and overnight. It’s different from a few hours a week. A real presence, someone who knows the household, the routines, and your parent’s needs before they become urgent.
Day-to-day, this looks like help with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, and mobility. It includes companionship, reminders about appointments, light housekeeping, and often transportation to places that matter. If something changes at 2 a.m., someone is there. If your parent wants to attend their granddaughter’s soccer game, the caregiver makes sure they can.
Families in East Hampton often turn to Live-In Care after a hospital stay at Middlesex Hospital or when their parent’s needs have grown beyond what part-time help can handle. We were founded by nurses who spent years in home care and in hospitals, so we understand what discharge really means and how to bridge the gap. We know Middlesex County and we know the rhythms of life here.
We started because our founder spent years watching families struggle with the choice between moving a parent into assisted living or keeping them home with the right support. Live-In Care works when the caregiver understands medical situations, can spot changes early, and knows when to call the doctor. That’s what you get here.
Before we suggest a caregiver, we spend time understanding your parent, your home, and what matters most. Is your parent private about personal care? Do they need someone energetic or calm? Do they speak another language at home? We take notes and we match carefully, not quickly.
Life changes. Your parent’s health changes. You need to reach us easily, ask questions, adjust the plan. We’re reachable. If your regular caregiver becomes unavailable, we cover the gap so you don’t have to scramble.
We work throughout East Hampton and the surrounding towns. We know the discharge coordinators at Middlesex Hospital, we understand the local healthcare landscape, and we have caregivers who live nearby or know the area well. That matters when you need someone 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 typical day includes help with morning personal care, preparing meals, taking medications on schedule, and activities your parent wants to do, whether that's a walk, phone calls with family, or watching their shows. The caregiver manages the household routines, handles light cleaning and laundry, helps with transportation to appointments, and is present for all of it. Overnight, they're in the home and available if your parent needs anything, from bathroom help to reassurance.
We can often have a caregiver in place within one to three days of your hospital discharge if you contact us right away. The faster we know your parent's needs and timeline, the better we can match and prepare. We've worked with Middlesex Hospital discharge teams many times and understand the urgency. If you're still in the hospital, call us then. Planning ahead takes stress off when you come home.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or home health aide services for a limited time after hospitalization, but not full-time in-home live-in care. We can discuss what's covered and what isn't, and help you understand the difference. Some families use insurance-covered services first, then transition to Live-In Care when those benefits end.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, often to help with personal care as part of a medical plan covered by insurance. Live-In Care means someone is there full-time, living in your parent's home, available around the clock. It's continuity, stability, and presence every single day. Live-In Care is suited for people who want to stay home but need real, constant support.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, health needs, and what they value. Do they need someone with dementia experience? Someone who cooks? Someone patient with hearing loss? We listen and we match for fit, not just availability. Your parent and caregiver will spend a lot of time together. Getting it right matters.
We maintain backup coverage. If your caregiver becomes ill or needs time off, we have trained caregivers ready to step in so there's no gap in care. We let you know as soon as possible and we manage the transition smoothly. Continuity is important, but reliability is non-negotiable.
