Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home full-time, overnight included. They’re there for morning routines, meals, medications, medical appointments, and everything in between. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s presence. It’s someone who knows your parent’s rhythms and catches things early.
On a typical day, you’ll see your caregiver handling breakfast, helping with personal care, managing medications on schedule, preparing lunch, doing light housekeeping, accompanying your parent to appointments, and being there in the evening and overnight. Your parent stays in their own home with someone they trust, and you’re not fielding crisis calls at midnight.
Many Harwinton families come to us after a Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge, when your parent needs support but doesn’t need inpatient care anymore. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what recovery looks like and what warning signs matter. That background shapes how we train every caregiver we place.
A nurse founded this agency because she watched families struggle with the same choice your family is facing now. We don’t push assisted living. We listen to what your parent actually wants and build a plan around keeping them home safely. That perspective is baked into how we work.
We don’t just send someone over. We brief our caregivers thoroughly on your parent’s history, preferences, and any medical considerations. We listen to what matters most to your family, then match thoughtfully. Experience with older adults goes into every placement we make.
Live-In Care situations change. A health setback, a new medication, a family crisis. We stay reachable and responsive. If your regular caregiver needs backup or your parent’s needs evolve, you’re not starting from zero with a new agency.
We know Harwinton, Torrington, and the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. We’re not a national franchise. We show up for our clients and build relationships with the hospitals and doctors you’re already working with.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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 is present from morning through overnight. That includes helping with bathing, dressing, grooming, preparing meals, taking medications on time, light housekeeping, laundry, and companionship. They attend appointments with your parent, manage the household calendar, and stay alert for any health changes. Evening and night coverage means someone is there if your parent needs help, can't sleep, or has an emergency.
We can often begin within 48 to 72 hours of discharge if we have notice. We coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge planners and your parent's doctors to understand what care is needed. If you need faster placement, call us immediately and we'll do everything we can. The sooner we know, the sooner we can get the right person in place.
Live-In Care is private pay, not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're honest about that upfront because families deserve to know the cost before committing. Some long-term care policies do cover it, so it's worth checking your parent's policy. We can discuss options and pricing directly when you call.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day, scheduled around medical needs. Live-In Care means full-time presence, overnight included. Your caregiver is embedded in your parent's daily life, not visiting. There's continuity, familiarity, and the ability to catch small changes before they become crises. It's a different level of support.
Yes. We listen carefully to your parent's personality, medical history, and what matters most to your family. We then match based on experience, temperament, and fit. We don't have one-size-fits-all. If a match isn't working after the first week or two, we adjust. Your parent's comfort and your peace of mind are the measure.
We have backup coverage and maintain relationships with experienced caregivers in the area specifically for situations like this. You won't be left without support. We notify you as soon as we know there's a gap, and we get someone in place. We know that consistency matters, which is why we're careful about backups and why most families stick with us long-term.
