Live-In Care means someone stays in your parent’s home around the clock. It’s not medical nursing, and it’s not a live-in housekeeper. It’s a trained caregiver who’s there for the everyday things that pile up when you live alone, the safety checks that matter at 2 a.m., the meals that actually get eaten, the medications that don’t get missed.
On a typical day, your parent gets help with bathing, dressing, and grooming. The caregiver prepares meals, manages laundry, handles light housekeeping, and offers companionship. They’re watching for falls, changes in mood, signs of infection, or anything that feels off. They’re also the person your parent talks to at breakfast and dinner, the one who notices when something’s wrong.
After discharge from Middlesex Hospital or a fall at home, families in Killingworth often realize that part-time help isn’t enough. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what it looks like when someone truly needs that constant presence. We know the local care landscape here in Middlesex County, and we’ve built Live-In Care for families who want their parent to stay home.
Your parent says no to assisted living, and you believe them. We’ve built Live-In Care for people who mean it. Being nurse-founded means we know the medical side of aging at home, so we can match someone who handles both the safety piece and the stubborn, independent spirit.
You tell us about your parent’s temperament, their routines, what makes them feel safe. We listen for those details and we take time finding the right person. A good match between your parent and their caregiver changes everything.
If your parent’s needs change, if there’s a health scare, if the current arrangement isn’t working, you can call us. We’re not hands-off once we place someone. We’re here to listen and adjust.
We understand Killingworth, the discharge process at Middlesex Hospital, the local doctors, and the neighbors who sometimes call with concerns. Being local means we can respond fast and we speak your parent’s language.

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 helps with personal care like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. They prepare three meals, do laundry, and keep the home clean and safe. They're there for medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and companionship. They're also watching, always watching, for falls, confusion, signs of illness, or any change that matters. It's presence, care, and attention all at once.
We aim to have someone in place within 48 to 72 hours if we have the right match available. Sometimes we can go faster. We know hospital discharges don't wait, and we coordinate with the discharge team at Middlesex Hospital to understand your parent's specific needs. The sooner we know what you need, the sooner we can find the right person.
Live-In Care is typically private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy for specific periods after hospitalization, but not full-time in-home caregiving. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, but most pay out of pocket. We're honest about the cost because we believe you should know exactly what you're paying for and why.
A home health aide comes for a few hours a few days a week, usually ordered by a doctor for a specific medical reason. Live-In Care means someone is there every single day and night. The caregiver becomes part of your parent's daily life, not a visitor. It's the difference between supervision and constant presence.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they need help with, what they'd never tolerate, and what makes them feel safe. We listen for the small things, the preferences, the habits. We have caregivers with different experience levels and backgrounds, and we take time to find someone who fits. A bad match wastes everyone's time and money.
We have a backup plan. We maintain a network of trained caregivers in the Killingworth area so that if your regular person is sick or has an emergency, we can find coverage. We give you notice when we can, and we communicate directly with your parent's caregiver about continuity. You're not left hanging, and neither is your parent.
