Live-In Care in Glastonbury, 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 sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting around the table near the Glastonbury Green, the way your mom’s hands shook a little more than last year. The doctor at Hartford Hospital said she’d recover fine from her fall, but “fine” and “alone all day” aren’t the same thing. You know she won’t leave Glastonbury, won’t move to a facility, won’t hear it. What you need is someone there, full-time, who understands what that actually means.

Live-in care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home during the day and overnight, handling the things that matter: meals that get eaten, medications taken on time, help with bathing and dressing, watching for changes, being there if something goes wrong at 3 a.m. It’s not a medical nurse visit three times a week. It’s presence, consistency, and someone who knows your parent’s routine and habits.
Families see their parent getting up safely, eating regular meals, staying engaged instead of isolated, keeping track of appointments. The caregiver manages household tasks that become hard over time, reminds about medications, notices when something feels off. Your parent stays in the home they know, with their things, their schedule, their independence as much as possible.
After Hartford Hospital discharge or when aging at home starts to feel risky, live-in care bridges the gap between staying put and moving to assisted living. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side, the safety side, and the emotional side of someone who’s determined not to leave home. We’ve been there. We know what questions to ask and what to watch for.
Nurse-founded means we’ve walked this path ourselves. We know what it takes to staff a home properly, to match the right person to the right parent, and to handle the shift between independence and needing steady help. We don’t treat live-in care as a temporary fix. We treat it as the real, ongoing support it is.
Before a caregiver steps foot in your parent’s home, we sit down with your whole family, listen to what your parent actually needs and wants, and find someone whose personality, experience, and skills fit. We’ve placed caregivers across all areas of Glastonbury, and we know the people we send.
Live-in care situations shift. Your parent’s needs evolve, the caregiver needs time off, or you need to talk through a concern at 10 p.m. We stay connected, responsive, and involved. You’re not managing this alone.
We work with Hartford Hospital’s discharge planning team regularly. We understand the transition from hospital to home. We serve Glastonbury, East Hartford, Manchester, Rocky Hill, and Wethersfield, and we’ve built relationships with local doctors, pharmacies, and community resources.

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 arrives for the day shift or overnight shift and helps with personal care, bathing, dressing, toileting if needed. They prepare and serve meals, manage medications, handle light housekeeping and laundry, do errands and shopping, and provide companionship. They watch for falls, confusion, mood changes, or physical signs that something's off. They're there to respond immediately if your parent needs help.
We can often start within days, sometimes the same week as discharge. When you call, we gather details about your parent's needs, medical history, and home setup. We then match a caregiver and schedule a start date. If it's urgent, we prioritize. The key is having the right person, not just the fastest one.
Live-in care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time in-home caregiving. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We're upfront about costs and can discuss what a typical care schedule looks like for your budget. It's an investment in your parent staying home and safe.
Home health aides come for a few hours a few days a week, usually ordered by a doctor after discharge. Live-in care means someone is there much longer, often 24 hours or 5 days a week, providing steady presence and handling household life. Live-in care is about routine and relationship-building. A home health aide is more acute and task-focused.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, what they need help with, any cultural or language preferences, whether they have pets, what their routine looks like. Then we match someone who fits not just the tasks but the person. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all caregiving.
We maintain backup coverage. If your caregiver needs a day off or is sick, we arrange a substitute we've already vetted and your parent has met. We don't leave you scrambling. If a longer change is needed, we work with you on a transition and find a new caregiver who's a good fit.
