Live-In Care in Fairfield, 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.
Your mom stopped driving after that fender bender near Southport Harbor, and now she won’t leave the house. Your sister noticed at Thanksgiving that she’s lost weight, that the kitchen looks untouched. A fall at 3 a.m. that she didn’t tell anyone about. You realize she needs someone there, full-time, but she’s made it clear: she’s not moving to a facility.

Live-in care means someone stays in your parent’s home, full-time. They’re there in the morning, through the day, into the evening. It’s not medical nursing, though our caregivers understand medication schedules, fall prevention, and when something feels off. It’s presence, continuity, and someone who knows your parent’s routines inside and out.
Day-to-day, families see their parent actually eating breakfast again. Getting showered and dressed. Having someone to talk to at lunch instead of sitting alone. Medication taken on time. A fall reported immediately. Doctor appointments kept. Laundry folded. Someone there when anxiety hits at night. Your parent stays in their home, keeps their independence, but isn’t alone.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what a discharge from St. Vincent’s Medical Center really looks like, and what your parent needs in those first weeks at home. Fairfield County families come to us when they know their parent needs more than visiting aides, when 24-hour support prevents crisis, when assisted living feels like a fight they’ll lose.
Your parent says no to facilities. We respect that. Live-in care keeps them in their own home, their own bed, their own routines, with someone trusted nearby. We’ve seen how this changes everything, for both of you.
We listen first. We ask about personality, schedules, what matters. Then we match thoughtfully, not just fill the slot. A good fit means your parent actually lets the caregiver in, and that’s where trust starts.
A health shift, a personality mismatch, a need for more or less support, a hospital stay. We answer the phone. We adjust. You’re not starting over with a new agency when life changes.
We know St. Vincent’s Medical Center, we know the doctors, the neighborhoods, the rhythm of living here. That local knowledge matters when you need someone fast, or when discharge planning starts and you need a caregiver in place within days.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Live-In Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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 arrives in the morning, helps with breakfast and personal care, keeps the house running, prepares lunch, handles medication reminders, stays present through the afternoon, makes dinner, and is there through the evening. Tasks vary by what your parent needs, but the core is: someone trustworthy in the home, someone who notices changes, someone who's accountable. It's not nursing, but it's reliable, full-time support.
If you call us during the discharge planning process, we can usually have a caregiver in place within three to five days. We work directly with hospital discharge planners, we understand the urgency, and we move fast. For families who call us right at the moment of decision, we prioritize placement.
Live-in care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover medical home health, which is different. We're transparent about cost upfront because we know families need to plan. Many families find that live-in care, while an investment, prevents far costlier crises, falls, or premature moves to facilities. We'll walk you through what this means for your situation.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day, a few days a week, and is often covered by insurance for medical reasons. Live-in care is full-time presence in your parent's home. The caregiver sleeps there, is available at night, handles the daily rhythm of living, and catches problems before they become emergencies. It's a fundamentally different level of support.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent, their temperament, their habits, and what matters to them. We also listen to you, to what you need as an adult child. Then we match carefully, not just by availability. A good match means your parent accepts the caregiver and trusts them, and that's when live-in care actually works.
We maintain a backup plan. If your primary caregiver is sick or needs time off, we have trained caregivers ready to step in, so there's no gap and your parent isn't disrupted. Continuity matters, but reliability matters too. You need to know someone is there, period.
