Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a caregiver in your parent’s home, present full-time, for 24 hours a day or overnight depending on what your family needs. It’s not assisted living. It’s not moving. It’s stability and supervision under one roof, with someone trained and trustworthy who gets to know your parent’s routines, preferences, and personality.
Day-to-day, you’ll see help with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, mobility, and light housekeeping. Your caregiver watches for changes, responds quickly to falls or confusion, keeps your parent engaged, and gives you real peace of mind. Many families tell us they sleep through the night for the first time in months once Live-In Care starts.
In North Canaan and across Litchfield County, we work closely with Sharon Hospital’s discharge team so transitions happen smoothly. Our founders are nurses, which means we understand medical complexity, medication timing, and the difference between what looks fine and what actually is fine. We bring that clinical eye to every placement we make.
We started this work because we saw what families really needed: someone present, observant, and calm. As nurses, we know that full-time presence catches problems before they become emergencies. We’re not just placing caregivers. We’re matching people who can handle the complexity that comes with aging in place.
When you call, we don’t hand off a form. We sit with you, ask about your parent’s personality, habits, and what matters most. Then we match someone with the right experience and temperament. A caregiver who gets your parent, and your parent who trusts them, changes everything.
Live-In Care is long-term, and families’ needs change. You reach us directly, not a call center. If your caregiver is sick, if your parent’s health changes, if you need backup, we’re here to adjust and support. We stay in the conversation.
We know North Canaan, we know the discharge process at Sharon Hospital, and we know the doctors and networks here. When your parent comes home from the hospital, we already understand the context. That matters more than you’d think.

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 helps with personal care, bathing, dressing, toileting, and meals. They manage medications, keep track of appointments, do light housekeeping, and stay alert to any changes in your parent's health or mood. They're there to prevent falls, respond to emergencies, and keep your parent safe and engaged. What matters is presence and attention, not just tasks.
We work with Sharon's discharge planners to start as soon as your parent comes home. Many times, we can have a caregiver in place within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. If you need someone faster, call us right away and we'll explore what's possible. The sooner we talk, the sooner we can coordinate.
Live-In Care is private pay, which means you and your family cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time in-home care. However, there are options like long-term care insurance, Veterans benefits, or Medicaid in some situations. We can talk through what might apply to you.
Home health aides come for a few hours a few times a week, usually through a medical agency that bills insurance. Live-In Care means someone is in your home full-time or overnight, providing continuity and constant oversight. Home health is task-focused and temporary. Live-In Care is presence-focused and long-term. It's a different model entirely.
Yes. We learn about your parent, their personality, their medical needs, and what your family's situation actually looks like. Then we find someone experienced, trustworthy, and able to connect with your parent. A good match makes all the difference. We take time to get it right.
We maintain a network of trained, background-checked caregivers in Litchfield County so we can provide backup coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs time off, we step in. You won't wake up scrambling. Continuity and reliability are core to Live-In Care.
