Live-In Care is a caregiver in your parent’s home around the clock, helping with the daily tasks that pile up and create worry. Someone there to make sure medications get taken, meals happen, and your mom or dad isn’t managing alone at 2 a.m. It’s the alternative when assisted living feels wrong and when staying home feels like the right answer.
On any given day, a Live-In caregiver handles bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and companionship. They notice changes you might miss from a distance, spot a fall risk before it happens, keep your parent engaged with their own home and routine. You get the peace of knowing someone’s there, and your parent gets to wake up in their own bed.
We were founded by a nurse who watched her own family navigate this choice. We know Yale New Haven Hospital’s discharge process and the particular needs of New Haven County families coming home to East Rock, Westville, Fair Haven, and beyond. Being nurse-founded means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, and we build our matches around that reality.
Your parent has spent 40 years on their street, knows every neighbor, has a routine that makes sense. We don’t push assisted living. We match you with someone who can be there full-time, supporting what your parent actually wants. That foundation changes everything about how this works.
We brief caregivers thoroughly on your parent’s habits, preferences, and health history before they arrive. We listen to what you need and what your parent needs, then we match accordingly. Experience matters. We’re not filling a shift, we’re building a partnership that will last.
If your regular caregiver gets sick or a new need emerges, you reach us directly. We don’t disappear after the placement. Live-In Care situations shift, and we move with them, adjusting support and finding backup when you need it.
We understand the discharge timeline from Yale New Haven Hospital, work with your parent’s doctors, and know the neighborhoods where our clients live. We’re not remote. We’re here when your parent comes home from the hospital and during every season that follows.

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
A caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. They prepare meals, manage medications, handle light housekeeping, and provide transportation to appointments. They're there at night too, which means your parent can move safely through the house and get help if something happens. It's not medical nursing, but it's the steady, attentive presence that keeps someone living safely at home.
We can often have a caregiver in place within days of discharge, sometimes within 24 hours. We work directly with your discharge planner at Yale New Haven Hospital and get briefed on what your parent needs before they come home. The faster we can match and start, the safer that transition feels. We've done this many times with New Haven families.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing, not full-time in-home presence. Some long-term care policies cover it partially, so it's worth checking your parent's policy. We're honest about cost because we know this is a real decision. We also know it's often less expensive than assisted living, with the added benefit of staying home.
A home health aide typically visits a few hours a day as ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care means someone is there full-time, overnight included, providing consistent support and safety. It's different because your parent isn't alone, and the caregiver learns their rhythms, preferences, and needs deeply. It's presence, not just assistance.
Yes. We talk with you and your parent about what matters, then we listen carefully to what you're both looking for. We match based on experience, personality fit, and specific skills. We've worked with families across East Rock, Westville, Fair Haven, and other New Haven neighborhoods long enough to understand the match that actually works.
We maintain backup caregivers and coverage arrangements so your parent never wakes up without support. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs time off, we coordinate a replacement and brief them on what your parent needs. You're not scrambling. We handle it so your parent's routine stays steady.
