Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting around the table near the Meriden green. Your mom wasn’t quite herself, moving slower, forgetting where she’d put her glasses twice in one meal. You’re thinking about assisted living, but she’s already said no. A full-time caregiver in her own home might be exactly what she needs, and what you need to stop worrying.

Live-In Care means someone is there. Not a few hours a week. A trained caregiver living in your parent’s home, present for meals, medications, mobility, and the small moments that add up to safety and peace of mind. It’s an alternative to moving into assisted living, and for many Meriden families, it’s the reason their parent stays put.
Day to day, you’re looking at meal prep, medication reminders, bathing and dressing support, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and someone who knows the rhythm of your parent’s week. Our caregivers notice changes, report them to you, and adjust their approach as needs shift. You stay in the loop every step.
Meriden families often come to us after a discharge from MidState Medical Center or when their parent’s health has shifted in ways that mean more support at home makes sense. Because we’re nurse-founded, we understand what full-time presence actually looks like, and how to match the right person to your family’s situation.
We started this because we saw families in exactly your position. Our founder knows what it takes to keep someone safe and independent at home. That shows up in how we listen, match, and support your family through Live-In Care.
We don’t just send someone. We talk with you about your parent’s personality, routine, what matters most. Then we find a caregiver who fits, and we brief them thoroughly on day one. Experience and attention matter.
A Live-In Care situation isn’t set once and forgotten. Health shifts, family needs evolve. You call us, and we’re here to adjust the plan, find backup if needed, or talk through what’s next.
We work closely with MidState Medical Center and other local providers. We understand the discharge process, the local doctors, the neighborhoods of Meriden. That local knowledge makes us faster and more effective for your family.

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
Your caregiver is there for meals, medication timing, bathing and dressing if needed, light cleaning and laundry, errands and appointments, and companionship. They're watching for falls, changes in appetite or mood, medication side effects, and anything that needs reporting to you or a doctor. It's presence and attention, not just task completion.
We've coordinated post-discharge placements within days of discharge, depending on what we know about your parent's needs beforehand. If you're planning ahead, we can brief a caregiver before your parent comes home. If it's urgent, call us right away and we'll move fast to get someone matched and ready.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers some skilled nursing or therapy, but not the full-time, ongoing presence of a caregiver in your home. Some families use long-term care insurance or other resources to help with costs. We're honest about that upfront, and we can talk about what makes sense for your budget.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few days a week, usually ordered by a doctor for post-discharge or recovery. Live-In Care is full-time presence, someone living in your parent's home. It's ongoing support for independence and safety, not time-limited medical recovery. One is in-and-out. The other is there.
Yes. We talk with you about what your parent needs, prefers, and responds to. We listen for personality fit, experience level, language, and background. Then we match someone who can actually work with your parent, not just check boxes. That careful matching is how Live-In Care works best.
We arrange backup coverage so your parent isn't left without support. We have a network of trained caregivers we can call, and we coordinate the handoff so your parent isn't stressed by a complete stranger. Continuity matters, and we plan for changes.
