Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner up on Hardscrabble Road, the way your mom moved more slowly between the kitchen and the table. The next morning, your dad called saying he’d found her medication scattered on the bedroom floor. You realized then that your parents weren’t going to move to a facility, and you couldn’t be there every day yourself. Live-In Care means someone is there, every day and night, in your parents’ home.

Live-In Care means a caregiver lives in your parent’s home, providing support around the clock. This is different from a daily aide visit. It’s the presence of another person in the house, managing meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and the small moments in between that add up to safety and dignity.
On a typical day, your caregiver handles breakfast and medication timing, helps with personal care, manages light housekeeping, prepares meals, accompanies your parent to appointments, and is there at night if your parent needs to get up. You know someone is present. You’re not checking your phone every two hours wondering if they’ve eaten or fallen.
Norfolk families often reach out after a hospital stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or when they realize their parent’s situation has shifted and they need more than occasional help. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of aging at home, the details that matter, and how to set up a care plan that actually works day to day.
Your parent doesn’t want assisted living. They want to stay home. We’ve built Live-In Care around that reality, not around trying to change their mind. When you’re nurse-founded, you recognize that being in your own home, with someone present, can be safer and more stable than a facility move that creates stress and resistance.
We don’t send a caregiver on day one without understanding your parent’s routines, preferences, medications, and the things that matter most to them. We talk to you first. We listen to what your parent needs and what you need to feel confident. The match is about fit, not just availability.
A health shift happens, or your parent’s needs grow, or a caregiver needs to take time off. You’re not left scrambling. You call us and we help you adjust the plan, find backup coverage, or bring in additional support. You’re not managing this alone.
We understand the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, we know the doctors and facilities in the county, and we can coordinate quickly when your parent comes home from a hospital stay. Being local means we can respond fast and we understand the rhythm of care in your community.

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 present from morning through night. They help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal care. They manage medications and meal preparation, handle light housekeeping, do laundry, and accompany your parent to appointments. They're also there at night, awake and available if your parent needs help getting to the bathroom or needs reassurance. It's not clinical. It's presence and support woven through the whole day.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if we have adequate notice. If your parent is still in the hospital, we recommend calling us as soon as discharge is being discussed so we can begin matching and planning. If discharge happens quickly, we'll do our best to get someone in place immediately, and we can arrange temporary coverage while we complete our full matching process. The goal is to make sure your parent isn't home alone.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover 24-hour in-home care. The cost varies depending on your parent's needs and the caregiver's experience level. We're transparent about pricing and can discuss payment options with you. Some families use long-term care insurance, savings, or other resources to cover the cost. We're happy to talk through the financial planning side of this.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day and handles specific medical or personal care tasks. Live-In Care means someone is in your parent's home around the clock, providing support with daily living, meal preparation, medication management, and safety. The difference is presence and continuity. With Live-In Care, your parent isn't alone, and the caregiver knows the full picture of their day, their mood, their patterns.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's temperament, their daily routines, any medical conditions, their preferences around food or activities, and what matters most to your family. We then match a caregiver whose experience and personality align with those needs. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. A good match between your parent and their caregiver changes everything.
We maintain backup coverage and a network of caregivers in Litchfield County so we can find a replacement quickly. We'll let you know as soon as we're aware of an absence and confirm who will be covering. We work hard to minimize disruption to your parent's routine, and we're honest with you about any challenges. Your parent won't be left without care.
