No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom has always said she’d never leave the house on Old Mill Road. Then your sister came home for Thanksgiving and noticed she wasn’t eating much, her pills were scattered on the counter, and the house felt off in a way you couldn’t quite name. A call to her doctor after the holiday turned into a conversation about what comes next. Live-in care might be the answer you’ve both been avoiding.

Live-in care means one caregiver is present in your parent’s home, full-time. They’re there from morning into evening, overnight, or around the clock, depending on what your parent needs. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s constant presence, meals made, medications tracked, appointments kept, and someone there if something goes wrong at 3 a.m.
Day to day, families see their parent staying home instead of moving to a facility. The caregiver handles cooking, cleaning, laundry, bathing, dressing, mobility help, medication reminders, and companionship. Your parent gets to stay in their own bed, their own routine, their own world. You get the confidence of knowing someone is actually there.
After a discharge from Griffin Hospital, moving straight into live-in care keeps momentum going. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what happens when your parent comes home needing more than they did before. We know how to brief a caregiver on post-discharge needs, how to track what’s working, and how to adjust if things change.
Our founders are nurses who’ve watched families struggle with assisted living facilities and parents who flat-out refused to go. We built live-in care because we know it works. We get the weight of keeping someone safe while honoring what they actually want.
We don’t assign the first available caregiver. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, what might click. Then we brief that caregiver thoroughly so they understand the full picture, not just a task list.
Your parent’s needs will change. We stay reachable, we adjust the plan, and we bring in support when you need it. You’re not managing this solo and hoping it holds together.
We live here. We know Griffin Hospital’s discharge process, we know the neighborhoods, and we know the families in your situation. Local experience matters when everything is personal.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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 typical day includes meal prep and cooking, medication reminders and management, help with bathing and dressing, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, transportation to appointments, and companionship throughout. Your caregiver is there to notice what's working and what isn't, to keep your parent engaged and safe, and to be the person who's actually present. If something feels off, they're there to catch it early.
We can often start within days of discharge. We ask you to give us the hospital discharge summary and any post-discharge instructions as soon as you have them. We brief the caregiver on what your parent needs, medications, mobility restrictions, and follow-up appointments. The faster we have clarity on the medical picture, the faster we can get someone in place.
Live-in care is private pay, meaning you cover it directly. Medicare doesn't typically cover it, and most insurance policies don't either. We charge by the week or month and can discuss what works for your budget. Some families use a combination of resources, and we can talk through options when you call.
A home health aide usually comes for a few hours per day, a few times a week. Live-in care means someone is there full-time, overnight, or around the clock, providing continuous presence and support. The difference is the depth of attention and availability. Home health aides are great for certain needs, but live-in care is designed for parents who need someone there, period.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, what they like, what they're dealing with, and what personality might fit. Do they need someone patient with memory issues? Someone experienced with physical mobility? Someone who can handle the early mornings or the late nights? We match carefully, and we brief the caregiver on your parent's full story, not just tasks.
We have backup caregivers who can step in. We coordinate coverage so your parent isn't left hanging. If your regular caregiver gets sick or needs time off, we handle the transition. You shouldn't have to scramble or worry that the system will collapse if one person isn't available.
