Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home full-time, providing the steady presence that keeps them safe and independent. They’re there in the mornings, afternoons, and nights, handling the daily rhythms that start to feel overwhelming when you’re aging at home.
Your caregiver helps with meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and the hundred small tasks that add up. They go to appointments with you. They’re present during the long afternoons. They notice when something changes. Most importantly, your parent stays in their own home, on their own terms.
Families in New Fairfield often turn to us after a discharge from Danbury Hospital, when someone needs more than occasional help but isn’t ready for assisted living. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires and how to match it to your parent’s real life.
Your parent wants to stay home. We get that, and we’ve built our whole approach around making that work safely. Being nurse-founded means we’re not here to convince you otherwise. We’re here to help you do what your parent actually wants.
We listen to who your parent is, what matters to them, and what their days look like. Then we find someone who fits. It takes time and honesty upfront, and that’s exactly how we work.
Live-In Care situations shift. Someone gets sick. A new need appears. You call us, and we actually pick up. We adjust the plan because we know your parent and your family by then.
We work with Danbury Hospital’s discharge team regularly and understand how care transitions happen here. We’re local. We know New Fairfield’s neighborhoods and the doctors your parent sees.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Live-In Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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 is present for breakfast, helps with any medications or appointments, handles meals and light housekeeping, supports bathing or dressing if needed, and is there through the evening. They're not hovering, but they're present and attentive. The exact routine depends on your parent's needs and preferences, which is why we talk through a full picture before matching anyone.
We can often have someone in place within a few days if you call us right away. Hospital discharge planners at Danbury know us and can coordinate. If it's urgent, we'll work nights and weekends to get you set up. The timing depends on your situation, so call us as soon as you're thinking about it.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. It's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. Some people use long-term care insurance if they have it. We're honest about the cost upfront because families deserve to make real decisions based on what they can actually do.
A home health aide usually comes for a few hours a few times a week and focuses on medical or personal care tasks. Live-In Care means someone is in your parent's home full-time, providing constant presence and support across everything from medications to meals to companionship. It's a completely different level of around-the-clock support.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's routines, preferences, any medical needs, and what matters most to them. Then we introduce people who actually fit. Sometimes it takes one try, sometimes two. We don't rush it because the match is everything.
We have backup coverage in place. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we send someone else we've already vetted. We give you notice and make sure the transition is smooth. Your parent doesn't wake up to a stranger.
