Live-In Care means one caregiver living in your parent’s home full-time, handling the hours when they’re most vulnerable. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s someone awake, present, and responsible for what happens in that house from morning until the next morning comes. Your parent gets the security of a real person there, and you stop holding your breath every time your phone rings.
On a typical day, a Live-In caregiver manages medications, prepares meals, helps with bathing and dressing, handles laundry and light housekeeping, and stays alert to changes in mood, appetite, or mobility. They’re watching for the small things that matter, like whether your dad actually ate lunch or if your mom seems confused this afternoon. They handle transportation to appointments, keep the house safe, and give you a clear picture of how your parent is actually doing.
Many Killingly families turn to us after a hospitalization at Day Kimball Hospital, when discharge planners tell them your parent shouldn’t be alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what real, around-the-clock presence looks like and how to match the right person to your family’s actual life. We know Windham County and we know the path from hospital to home.
We started this work because we’ve lived it too. A nurse-founded agency means we know what full-time presence actually requires, and why your parent’s refusal to move or go to assisted living isn’t stubbornness, it’s home. We listen before we place anyone.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, routines, and what they actually need at 2 a.m. or on a quiet Saturday. The right caregiver isn’t just qualified, they fit. We brief them thoroughly and we stay involved, not just at the start but throughout.
Live-In Care situations shift. Your parent’s health evolves, schedules change, or the fit isn’t quite right. You can call us, and we listen and adjust. You’re not dealing with a distant agency that stops caring after day one.
We know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process. We understand Killingly’s neighborhoods and the towns around you like Putnam, Thompson, and Sterling. We’re not learning your area as we work, we’re already 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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver prepares breakfast, reminds your parent about medications, handles grooming and dressing if needed, prepares lunch and dinner, manages laundry and basic housekeeping, and stays present throughout the evening and night. They're watching for changes in mood, appetite, mobility, or confusion, and reporting back to you. They also handle transportation to doctor appointments, manage the household calendar, and give your parent real human company, not just supervision.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours of discharge if we've had time to prepare and match the right caregiver. If you're still in the hospital and know discharge is coming, call us early. We'll brief your caregiver on your parent's specific needs, any new medications, and what the doctor said before that first day begins. The faster we know, the faster we can be ready.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home care at this level. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or Medicaid waiver programs in specific situations, but you'll want to check your own policy. We can talk you through what we've seen work for other families in your situation.
A home health aide visits for a few hours, a few days a week, and focuses on medical or personal care tasks. Live-In Care means someone is there all day and night, handling meals, medications, safety, companionship, and everything else your parent needs to stay safely at home. It's the difference between having help and having a presence.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, health needs, and what matters to them. We listen to what you need too. Then we match a caregiver we think will actually work in your home, not just someone available. We brief them thoroughly and stay involved to make sure the fit is working.
We maintain backup coverage so your parent isn't left without care. If your regular caregiver calls out sick or needs time off, we have trained replacements ready. We let you know early if we know about a change, and we keep the transition as smooth as possible for your parent. Continuity matters, but reliability matters more.
