Live-In Care means a trained caregiver lives in your parent’s home, providing 24-hour presence and support. Unlike a few hours a week, this is round-the-clock coverage, the person there when your parent wakes up and there when they go to bed. It’s designed for families who need full-time help but want their parent to stay home.
Your caregiver handles meals, medication reminders, bathing and grooming, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship. They’re watching for changes, noticing if your parent seems off, staying alert to falls or confusion. They give you back your life, and they give your parent dignity and routine in the place they know.
Many Groton families come to us after a hospital stay at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, when discharge instructions say your parent shouldn’t be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to read a care plan and spot what matters. We’ve placed caregivers in hundreds of homes across New London County and we understand what recovery and daily living actually look like.
Your parent doesn’t want to leave home, and honestly, most don’t need to. We’re nurse-founded, so we know the difference between what doctors recommend and what works for real people in their own houses. We’ve placed caregivers for parents exactly like yours, and we know how to make 24-hour home care actually work.
We don’t send someone cold. You brief us on your parent, we listen, and we match someone who fits. Our caregivers have years of Live-In Care experience, not just a certificate. We know how personality and routine and trust build a life, not just a schedule.
Your parent’s needs change. Your schedule shifts. We don’t disappear. You have a direct line to our team, and if your regular caregiver can’t make a shift, we’re already working on a solution. You’re not managing a crisis alone at midnight.
We’re local to New London County and familiar with post-hospital care. When your parent comes home from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital with new medications and restrictions, we know how to follow the plan and when to alert your doctor. We’re part of the community, not parachuting in.

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 prepares meals, helps with bathing and grooming, reminds your parent about medications, and handles light housekeeping and laundry. They're available for appointments, errands, and companionship. At night, they're in the home, awake if needed or sleeping nearby depending on your parent's situation. You get regular updates, and your parent gets someone who knows their routine and preferences.
If you call us before discharge, we can often have a caregiver in place the day your parent comes home or within 24 to 48 hours. We'll coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner and make sure your caregiver has the care instructions. If it's urgent, we move fast. If you're planning ahead, that's even better, and we'll build the right match.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time live-in caregiving, though some long-term care policies do. We can tell you exactly what to expect cost-wise and help you understand what's realistic for your budget. Many families find it costs less than assisted living and keeps their parent home.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few days a week and focuses on personal care. Live-In Care means someone is there 24/7, handling all meals, medications, mobility, and companionship. The difference is presence. With Live-In Care, your parent is never alone, and neither are you.
Yes. We'll ask you detailed questions about your parent's habits, health needs, personality, and what matters most. We have caregivers with experience in dementia, mobility issues, medication management, and chronic conditions. We match thoughtfully, and if the fit isn't right, we make a change. Your parent spends all day and night with this person, so it has to be real.
We have a backup plan. We maintain relationships with trained caregivers across the area, so if your regular caregiver is sick or has a personal emergency, we fill the gap. You'll know about any change in advance when possible, and we keep your parent's routine steady. You won't wake up to a crisis.
