Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting across from your mom at the kitchen table on Mountain Spring Road. The house was kept, but your mom seemed smaller somehow, moving slower between rooms, needing help with things she used to do alone. You knew then that something had to change, and moving her out of New Hartford wasn’t an option she’d ever accept.

Live-in care means someone is there with your parent, full-time and overnight. It’s not a nurse visit that lasts an hour. It’s a caregiver who lives in your parent’s home, handles the day-to-day tasks, notices changes, and makes sure medications get taken and meals get eaten. It’s the alternative when assisted living feels wrong and staying home feels right.
You’ll see it in motion: help with bathing, dressing, meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and someone present if your parent falls or needs something at 2 a.m. The caregiver becomes the steady presence that lets your parent stay in their own bed, in their own neighborhood, living the way they’ve always lived.
If your parent is coming home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or managing a condition that needs consistent oversight, live-in care bridges the gap between independence and institutional care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, how to match the right person to your parent’s personality and needs, and how to adjust the plan as things change.
Most parents won’t leave their home, and we don’t think they should have to. We started this because we’ve lived through it ourselves, watching a parent insist on staying put. Live-in care respects that choice and makes it possible.
We don’t send the first available caregiver. We listen to who your parent is, what matters to them, and what they need. Then we find someone whose schedule, experience, and personality actually fits. That homework up front saves everyone heartache later.
Your parent’s needs will change. If the current arrangement isn’t working or a caregiver becomes unavailable, you reach us and we adjust. You’re not figuring it out alone at midnight.
We know Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s discharge process and the neighborhoods of New Hartford. We’re not a national outfit. We’re here, we understand the community, and we know how to move quickly when a family needs help now.

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
A caregiver arrives and is present during waking hours and overnight. They help with personal care like bathing and dressing, prepare meals, manage medications and reminders, do light housekeeping, and provide companionship. If your parent needs to go to an appointment, the caregiver goes along. If it's 3 a.m. and your parent can't sleep or falls, the caregiver is there.
We can often start within days, sometimes the same day, depending on the arrangement. If you call us while your parent is still in the hospital, we'll begin the matching process and have someone ready by the discharge date. We understand that the window between leaving the hospital and having support at home is critical and scary.
Live-in care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's custodial support, not skilled nursing. We work with families to build a plan they can sustain. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or draw from savings, or share the cost among siblings. We're honest about the financial piece from the start.
A home health aide usually visits for a few hours a day, often covered by insurance if there's a medical reason. Live-in care means someone is there all the time, overnight and on weekends, even when there's no active medical need. If your parent needs round-the-clock presence and safety, live-in care is what works. Home health is great for specific tasks; live-in care is for full-time peace of mind.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, medical needs, and what matters most to them. Are they social or quiet? Do they like structure or flexibility? What's their sense of humor? We then match someone whose experience and temperament actually fit. It's not random. It's intentional.
We have backup. If someone is sick or needs to step away, we have other trained caregivers we can call in. We don't leave your family scrambling. We tell you in advance if a change is coming, and we make sure there's continuity and consistency. Your parent shouldn't suffer because one person had an emergency.
