Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home full-time, overnight included. They’re not a medical nurse checking vitals on a schedule. They’re another person there, handling the day-to-day things that get harder: bathing, meals, medications, moving around safely, and being awake when your parent wakes at 2 a.m. For a lot of Enfield families, it’s the real alternative to assisted living, especially when your parent says they’re not leaving their house.
Day-to-day, families see someone who helps with personal care, prepares meals, manages the medication schedule, keeps the home clean, and knows when something feels off. Your parent isn’t sitting through another day of a TV they stopped watching. There are conversations, routines, someone noticing if appetite changes or sleep shifts. It’s presence without hovering, help without losing independence.
After a Hartford Hospital discharge, families in Enfield often find that Live-In Care fills the gap that regular home health can’t. Our agency was founded by a nurse who understood that full-time presence is different from visiting care. We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, we know Enfield, and we know that sometimes your parent just needs another person in the house to make it work.
We started this agency because we understood full-time care from the inside. A nurse knows what the parent who refuses to move actually needs, and it’s not persuasion. It’s stability, presence, and someone who gets it. That foundation shapes every match we make.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, their schedule, what matters to them, and what drives you crazy. Matching is an art. The right caregiver for one family isn’t right for another. We get specific, we stay specific, and we follow up.
Live-In Care situations are rarely simple. If your caregiver gets sick, if your parent’s needs shift, or if something doesn’t feel right, you reach a person who knows your family. Not a voicemail. Not a callback in three days. We’re local to Hartford County and we stay involved.
We work with Hartford Hospital discharge planners regularly. We understand the handoff from hospital to home. We know the neighborhoods of Enfield, we know the streets, and we know the practical side of what it takes to keep someone safe at home in this area.

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 caregiver handles bathing, dressing, grooming, and toilet care. They prepare meals, manage medications, and make sure your parent takes them. They help with movement around the home, light housekeeping, and laundry. They're there overnight, awake and available. What families notice most is that their parent isn't alone during the vulnerable times, and the caregiver catches things early, like a missed dose or a fall.
We can often start within 48 hours of discharge if you reach us in time. Ideally, we meet your parent while they're still in the hospital or right after, so there's no gap. If discharge happens on a Friday night, we work to have someone there by Saturday morning. The faster we start, the safer the transition home feels.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover full-time in-home care. We're transparent about cost upfront, and we work with families to understand what the investment looks like month to month. For many, it's less expensive than assisted living, and your parent stays home.
Home health aide visits are scheduled, usually a few hours at a time, a few days per week. Live-In Care means someone is in your parent's home 24/7. The caregiver knows your parent's rhythm, their habits, their mood swings. They can respond immediately to a fall, a medication mix-up, or a middle-of-the-night bathroom visit. It's continuous presence, not periodic care.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, preferences, health needs, and what matters to them. We ask about your needs too. Do you want someone younger or older, someone quiet or talkative, someone who can cook or handle mobility assistance. We take time to match well, not just fill the slot quickly. Once matched, we stay in touch to make sure it's working.
We have a backup system and we communicate with you immediately if there's a change. We don't leave you in the dark. We've trained other caregivers in your parent's routine so coverage exists. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have someone who can step in. It's not perfect, but we treat it as seriously as you do.
