Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a caregiver in your parent’s home for the full day and night. Not a few hours a week. Not a check-in visit. One person, present, awake during the day and available at night, handling meals, medications, mobility, personal care, and the small moments that fill a day. It’s what assisted living promises, except your parent stays in the house they know.
Families see their parent eating regular meals again. Taking medications on time. Getting dressed, showering, staying engaged. The caregiver handles light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and companionship. You stop worrying about falls going unreported or a missed phone call meaning something worse. You get your life back too.
Prospect families often choose Live-In Care after a hospital stay at Waterbury Hospital or when they see their parent declining at home. We were founded by a nurse who watched families face exactly this choice, and that background shapes everything we do. We don’t just hire caregivers. We match them carefully, brief them on your parent’s routines, and stay with you through the adjustment.
Your parent won’t move. We get it, and we don’t argue about it. Live-In Care lets them stay home while getting the full-time support assisted living would provide. Because we started from nursing, we know how to build safety and structure without making someone feel forced into a facility.
We don’t send a stranger and hope it works. We learn about your parent’s habits, preferences, and needs first. We match someone thoughtfully and spend time bringing them up to speed on medication schedules, doctor appointments, and the unwritten rules of your parent’s day. That preparation makes all the difference.
Live-In Care situations shift. A new health issue, a family event, a caregiver conflict. We’re here to problem-solve, swap caregivers, adjust hours, and talk you through next steps. You’re not managing this alone.
We know the discharge process at Waterbury Hospital. We understand Prospect neighborhoods and the towns around you, Cheshire, Wolcott, Naugatuck. That local knowledge means faster starts, better communication with your hospital care team, and caregivers who already know the area.

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 arrives in the morning and stays through the evening and overnight. They prepare meals, remind your parent to take medications, help with bathing and dressing, manage toileting and incontinence care, do light housekeeping and laundry, run errands, drive to appointments, and provide company and conversation. At night, they're sleeping in the home and can respond immediately if your parent needs something. It's full presence, not a timed visit.
We can often start within a few days of a hospital discharge if you contact us right away. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge team, gather your parent's care plan and medication list, match a caregiver quickly, and brief them before arrival. If your parent is coming home on specific post-discharge instructions, we make sure the caregiver understands them. The faster you call, the faster we can be there.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance don't cover around-the-clock in-home care at this level. We work with families to discuss the cost upfront and honestly. Some families use long-term care insurance, personal savings, or restructure other spending. We can talk through what's realistic for your situation without pressure.
A home health aide typically visits for 2 to 4 hours at set times, usually ordered by a doctor after hospitalization. Live-In Care is someone present in the home 24/7, providing continuous support and supervision. Home health is task-focused and time-limited. Live-In Care is relationship-based and long-term. If your parent needs someone there all the time, not just during certain hours, Live-In Care is the right choice.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, health needs, daily habits, and what matters most to them. We listen for fit, not just qualifications. If your parent needs someone patient with memory loss, or strong enough to help with mobility, or someone who enjoys gardening, we take that seriously. We can also match for language, cultural background, or other preferences that make a difference.
We keep backup coverage ready. If your primary caregiver is sick or needs time off, we send a trained replacement who's been briefed on your parent's needs. We don't just send anyone. We also talk to you in advance about how to handle these transitions smoothly. Continuity matters, but reliability matters too, and we commit to both.
