Live-In Care means someone is there, full-time, so she can stay home.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a caregiver in your parent’s home during the day and night, handling the things that have become hard to do alone. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s constant presence. Someone who cooks, helps with bathing and dressing, reminds about medications, notices when something feels off, and lets you sleep knowing there’s another set of eyes.
On a typical day, your caregiver prepares meals, tidies the home, helps with personal care, manages the calendar, handles light errands, and keeps track of how your parent is actually doing. They’re not a housekeeper and not a nurse, but they’re there. That matters more than you’d think when your parent has already refused to move or when assisted living just isn’t the right fit.
East Haven families often turn to us after a hospital stay at Yale New Haven Hospital, or when they realize their parent needs more support than a weekly aide visit can provide. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to listen to what a discharge really means for your family, and we match caregivers who understand the difference between helping someone and taking over their life.
Our founder was a nurse who saw families exhaust themselves trying to convince a parent to move. Live-In Care is the answer when assisted living isn’t acceptable and you need full-time presence in their own home. We don’t push; we listen to what your parent actually needs and wants.
We start with a real conversation about your parent, their habits, what they need, and who they’ll actually trust. We take time to get the pairing right because a caregiver who fits is the difference between this working and becoming another stressor.
Live-In Care situations evolve. A fall happens. A medication changes. Your parent’s mood shifts. We’re here to adjust, swap caregivers if needed, and problem-solve in real time, not days later.
We know East Haven’s neighborhoods, the discharge process at Yale New Haven Hospital, and the rhythm of how families here actually live. We’re not a national franchise figuring out your community; we’re already in it.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver is there to handle meals, personal hygiene, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and companionship. They help your parent get dressed, prepare lunch, run a quick errand, sit together in the afternoon, and prepare dinner. They're also watching, so if your parent falls or seems confused or isn't eating, you know about it. It's not medical care, but it's presence and help for the daily things that have become difficult.
We can usually place a caregiver within a few days of your call, sometimes sooner if the situation is urgent. We'll do a brief intake with you and your parent, get a clear picture of needs and preferences, and match someone who fits. If you're being discharged and know you'll need full-time care at home, let us know early so we can be ready.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover medical home health services, not full-time in-home caregiving. The cost varies based on hours and caregiver experience, but we're upfront about pricing from the start. For many families, it's still less expensive than assisted living or a facility, and your parent stays home.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a week and performs specific medical or personal care tasks ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care is full-time presence in your home, handling daily living, meals, company, and oversight. It's the difference between someone visiting and someone actually being there to manage the flow of your parent's day.
Yes. We start by understanding your parent's personality, habits, medical situation, and what matters to them. We ask about language, cultural background, dietary needs, activity level, and how independent they want to be. Then we match someone who fits, not just someone available. It's the only way this works well.
We have backup caregivers we can call in. We notify you as soon as we know someone won't be able to work their shift, and we find a replacement. For many families, we also brief a secondary caregiver so there's continuity. Your parent's care doesn't stop because one caregiver gets sick.
