Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner, sitting across from your mother in the kitchen on Route 395. She wasn’t quite herself, moving slower, forgetting what she’d said five minutes before. The thought crossed your mind that day: she’ll never leave this house, and you can’t be here 24/7. That’s when Live-In Care stops being an option and becomes the answer.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means one caregiver is in your parent’s home, present during waking hours and overnight. They’re there for meals, medications, mobility, personal hygiene, and the small moments in between that add up to safety and dignity. It’s not a nurse making clinical visits. It’s a consistent person who knows your parent’s routine, preferences, and what normal looks like for them.
On any given day, your caregiver handles breakfast and lunch prep, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, and companionship. They notice if your parent isn’t eating as much, if they’re having a harder time with stairs, if they need to see a doctor. They’re the set of eyes and hands that let you breathe because someone’s actually there, not checking in for 45 minutes.
If your parent comes home from Day Kimball Hospital after a fall, surgery, or illness, Live-In Care bridges the gap between discharge and full recovery. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what post-hospital needs look like and how to handle them safely. Being local to Windham County, we know the Day Kimball discharge process and can coordinate with their care team before your parent gets home.
Your parent won’t move to assisted living, and honestly, they shouldn’t have to. We’re nurse-founded, so we know what full-time presence actually prevents, and we’ve built Live-In Care around keeping people in their own homes. We’re not trying to convince anyone to leave.
We don’t send the first available person. We talk with you first, learn who your parent is, what they need, and who might actually work in their home. Then we show up with someone you’ve met and approved, not a stranger on day one.
When things shift, you need to reach someone who knows your family. We’re available to answer questions, swap caregivers if needed, and adjust the plan when your parent’s needs change. You’re not calling a call center in another state.
We work with Day Kimball Hospital regularly and understand their discharge protocols. We know the neighborhoods in Plainfield, the nearby towns like Killingly and Sterling, and how to move through this area quickly when you need us.

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 during the day and overnight. They help with meals, medication reminders, bathing and dressing, toileting, mobility, and laundry. They keep the house tidy, do light cooking, and provide companionship. They're trained to recognize changes in your parent's health and report them to you. It's safety, routine, and someone being there, not a list of tasks.
We typically start within 24 to 48 hours of a hospital discharge, depending on availability and your timeline. We coordinate directly with Day Kimball's discharge team to understand your parent's needs and any special instructions. If you call us before discharge, we can have everything ready so your parent comes home to someone already waiting.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover around-the-clock in-home caregiving. We're transparent about costs and can talk through what different levels of care look like financially. Many families find it costs less than assisted living facilities in Windham County and keeps their parent at home.
A home health aide visits for a few hours a week or day, usually for specific medical or rehabilitative tasks ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care means someone is there all day and all night, handling meals, medication, personal care, and the daily rhythm of home life. It's presence, not visits. It's the difference between a few hours of support and 24/7 safety.
Yes. We talk with you first about who your parent is, what they need, their personality, and any medical conditions. Then we identify caregivers who fit and arrange for you to meet them before anyone starts. We work across all areas of Plainfield and nearby towns like Sterling and Griswold, and we take matching seriously.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We notify you as soon as we know there's a change and provide coverage so your parent isn't left without support. We keep you in the loop and work to minimize disruption to your parent's routine. You're not solving the problem yourself, we are.
