Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a caregiver who lives in your parent’s home and is present during waking hours and overnight. It’s different from a few hours of help a week, it’s the full-time presence that lets your parent stay put. We’re talking about someone who knows the routine, knows what matters, and is there if something changes at three in the morning.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with personal care, medication reminders, meal prep, light housekeeping, and the everyday company that keeps isolation at bay. They’re there during the vulnerable times, morning and night, when falls happen and confusion peaks. Many families tell us this is what finally lets them stop calling to check in every two hours, and lets their parent stay in the home they built.
After a stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or a doctor’s appointment that made things real, families in Goshen reach out to us because we understand what discharge planning actually means. Our founders are nurses, so we know how to read a care plan, spot what’s missing, and match the right person to your specific situation. That background means we’re not guessing about what your parent needs.
We started this because we saw what full-time presence actually prevents. Our founders know hospital discharge, medication management, and the hard conversations families have at 2 a.m. That’s not theory for us, it’s why we do this work.
We don’t just send someone over. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific needs, preferences, and what you care about most. The match between person and family is where everything either works or doesn’t, so we invest time here.
Live-In Care isn’t static. If your parent’s needs change, if your caregiver gets sick, or if you need to troubleshoot something, you reach us and we respond. We don’t disappear after placement.
We know Goshen, we know the drive to Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, and we know the doctors and discharge planners there. Being local means we move faster and understand the context of your parent’s life 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. 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 handles personal care like bathing and dressing, reminds about medications, prepares meals, manages light housekeeping, and does laundry. They're present in the home during day and night hours, so if your parent falls, wanders, or needs help at 11 p.m., someone's there. They also provide companionship, help with appointments, and watch for changes that matter. It's not medical nursing unless that's part of your care plan, but it's the full-time eyes and hands that prevent the crisis calls.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours if we have notice. The faster you call, the faster we can brief a caregiver and get them matched. If discharge planning happens at the hospital, coordinate with their social worker and have them reach us directly. We work with Charlotte Hungerford's process and timeline, and we've moved people from hospital to home with a caregiver already in place by arrival day.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or home health aide services only under certain conditions and for limited hours, but 24/7 in-home presence isn't typically covered. Some long-term care insurance policies may help, so it's worth reviewing your parent's policy. We work with you on what the real cost is and what options exist, and we're honest about it upfront.
A home health aide comes for a few scheduled hours per week and focuses on personal care under a medical care plan. Live-In Care means someone is in your home full-time, overnight, and available for all the non-medical support, safety, and company your parent needs. Home health aides are great for specific tasks post-recovery, but Live-In Care is the alternative when your parent needs constant presence and you're not it.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, preferences, any behavioral patterns, language needs, and what matters most to your family. We match on those details, not just availability. If your parent needs someone patient with repetition, someone who can cook Italian, or someone who gets why they won't leave their garden, we listen and we match accordingly. If the fit isn't right after a trial period, we work on adjusting it.
We have a backup plan. We maintain relationships with trained caregivers in Goshen and the surrounding area so if illness or emergency happens, we can cover it. We notify you as soon as we know, and we don't leave you without support. Continuity matters, especially for someone in decline, so we take backup seriously and we don't ask you to figure it out last minute.
