Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home full-time, overnight and day. They’re there to help with meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and the hundred small things that get harder. It’s not a nurse coming for an hour. It’s a real presence in the home, someone who knows your parent’s routines, knows when something feels off.
On a typical day, your parent has help getting up and dressed, someone preparing meals they’ll actually eat, reminders about medications, help with household tasks, and companionship throughout the day and night. If there’s a fall, they’re there. If it’s three in the morning and your parent is confused, someone is there. If a doctor’s visit reveals something new, the caregiver is there to relay what actually happened that week.
Here in Granby and across Hartford County, families often choose Live-In Care when their parent is discharged from Hartford Hospital or when it becomes clear that assisted living just isn’t going to happen. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side and the human side of full-time caregiving, and we know how to match the right person to the right family.
We know your parent won’t leave their home. We built this service because we’ve lived it ourselves. Live-In Care isn’t about convincing anyone to move, it’s about making staying home actually work safely and with dignity.
We don’t just send a caregiver. We talk with your family first, understand what your parent actually needs and what will drive them crazy, then match someone with experience and temperament that fits. We brief the caregiver thoroughly so they step in knowing the territory.
If your parent’s needs change, if the caregiver situation needs adjustment, if there’s a medical question, we’re reachable. This isn’t a transaction where you’re on your own after the first week.
We work with Hartford Hospital’s discharge planners, we know the local doctors, we understand what resources are available right here in Granby and the towns around us. That matters when you need something fast.

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 is there from morning through night. They help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and all personal care. They prepare meals, manage medications, do light housekeeping, and handle laundry. They're present if your parent needs help walking, using the bathroom, or just talking through something at 2 a.m. Think of it as having someone there full-time who knows your parent and can respond to whatever comes up.
If you call us before discharge, we can often have a caregiver in place within days. We work directly with Hartford Hospital's discharge coordinators and can move quickly when a family's situation is time-sensitive. If your parent is already home and you're realizing they need help now, call us and we'll discuss what we can do this week. Emergency same-day placement isn't always possible, but we prioritize quickly.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare doesn't cover full-time in-home caregiving, and most insurance plans don't either. We work with families to build care plans at different levels, and we're transparent about costs from the start. Many families find that Live-In Care costs less than assisted living, plus your parent stays home.
Home health aides come for a few hours a few times a week, usually ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay. Live-In Care is full-time, every day and night. A home health aide addresses specific medical needs. A Live-In caregiver is there for everything, medical and personal and just daily living. If your parent needs someone present all the time, Live-In Care is what you're looking for.
Yes. We talk with you first about who your parent is, what they need medically, what their personality is like, what will make them comfortable or drive them up the wall. Then we match someone with the right experience and fit. If it's not working after a week or two, we talk about what's off and we adjust. Good matching takes time and honesty.
We maintain backup coverage so your parent isn't left without someone. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs an unexpected day off, we have trained caregivers ready to step in. We give you notice whenever possible so there are no surprises. Your parent's care doesn't stop because one person isn't available.
