Live-In Care in Easton, 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 got a call from your sister after she visited your mom at the house on Aspetuck Avenue, and her voice was different, quieter. Your mother had always been fiercely independent, refusing to leave Easton, refusing to consider assisted living, but something had shifted. What you needed wasn’t a weekly aide or a daily visitor, you needed someone there, present, steady, through every morning and night.

Live-In Care means one caregiver lives in your parent’s home, providing a continuous presence instead of a few hours a week. It’s for families who’ve hit the limit of part-time help, where someone needs to know that another person is there when they wake at 3 a.m., or when they forget they’ve already eaten lunch, or when a fall happens and there’s no delay in getting help.
Your caregiver handles the practical work, day in and day out. Medication reminders, meal prep, bathing and dressing, mobility assistance, light housekeeping, laundry, errands. But it’s also the small things, the continuity, the person who learns your parent’s routines and can spot when something’s off. You get real rest knowing your phone isn’t your lifeline anymore.
Many families in Easton come to us after a health event, a hospital stay at St. Vincent’s Medical Center or a near-miss at home that changed everything. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know discharge doesn’t mean you’re ready to handle everything alone, and we know how to brief a caregiver on medical needs, medications, and what to watch for. We’re not just placing someone in your home, we’re building a plan that actually works.
We started this work because we’ve lived the worry of full-time caregiving ourselves. We understand that your parent refusing to move, refusing assisted living, isn’t stubbornness, it’s a real need to stay in their home and their community. That shapes how we match caregivers and how we support you both.
We don’t hand off a name and disappear. We talk through your parent’s specific needs, personality, medical history, and what matters to them. We find someone who fits, and we stay reachable when things change, when adjustments are needed, when you have a question at 8 p.m.
Live-In Care needs can change fast. A health decline, a medication adjustment, a family event. We don’t leave you stranded if your regular caregiver is sick or if you need backup. You have a real contact here, someone local who knows your situation.
We know the roads in Easton, we work regularly with St. Vincent’s Medical Center for discharges, we understand the rhythm of living here. We’re not a national service sending someone unfamiliar with Connecticut, with your neighborhood, with where things are. We’re rooted here.

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 present in the home, handling meals, medications, bathing, dressing, mobility help, toileting, and light household tasks. They're also there for companionship, for noticing if your parent isn't eating, if they've fallen, if they're confused. It's not clinic work, but someone trained and attentive who knows how to respond to real situations. The schedule is set up around what your parent needs and what your family needs.
We can often start within days if you contact us while your parent is still in the hospital or right after discharge. We work with discharge planners at St. Vincent's regularly and understand the urgency. We'll get a briefing on any medical needs, medications, and restrictions, meet with your family, and move a caregiver into position. If it's truly urgent, we can sometimes have temporary coverage while we do proper matching.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled home health for a limited time after hospitalization, but that's different from Live-In Care, which is custodial support and full-time presence. Long-term care insurance might cover some of it, depending on the policy, but most families we work with in Easton pay out of pocket. We can discuss costs and options when you call, and we're honest about what this looks like financially.
A home health aide visits for a set number of hours per week, usually for specific tasks. Live-In Care means someone is there continuously, providing presence and support all day and night. If your parent falls at midnight, or forgets they're on medication, or wanders, help isn't a phone call away, it's right there. It's different in scope, continuity, and cost, and it's for families where part-time support has stopped being enough.
Yes. We talk through what your parent needs medically, how they want to be treated, what their personality is, what routines matter to them. Then we find someone who fits, not just on paper but in practice. We've placed caregivers all over Easton and the surrounding towns, and we know who works well with specific situations. A good match takes time, but it's what makes the difference between okay and actually working.
We have backup caregivers we can call, and we stay in communication with you about what's happening. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs to leave, we don't just disappear, we help you find coverage fast. We're small enough to be responsive, local enough to know people, and experienced enough to have a plan. You're not left hanging while we figure things out.
