No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom called the dentist three times last week and forgot each appointment. Your sister noticed at Sunday dinner near the library on Route 99 that she’s wearing the same cardigan she wore last month. When you ask about it, she just changes the subject. That’s when you realize she needs someone there, all day, in her own home.

Live-in care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home full-time, overnight included. They’re there for meals, medications, appointments, and everything in between. It’s different from visiting aides who come for a few hours, because there’s another person present during the time when isolation and confusion can happen.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meal prep, and taking medications on time. They notice when your parent seems off, alert you to small changes, and can handle a fall or crisis right away instead of waiting for an aide to arrive. They’re there during the 2 a.m. when anxiety hits, the bathroom visit at midnight, the moment your parent forgets where they are.
Many Rocky Hill families come to us after a stay at Hartford Hospital or when their parent refuses to move to assisted living. They know their parent better at home, with routines intact and familiar surroundings. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, and we build our matches around that reality, not just availability.
Our founder spent years in nursing and knows the difference between visit-based care and someone actually living in your home. We don’t treat live-in care as eight-hour shifts that happen to run longer. We match people who can settle into your home, understand your parent’s personality, and stay calm at 3 a.m.
Before we send anyone, we talk to you about your parent’s habits, fears, foods they like, what makes them defensive or calm. We listen for the real reason they don’t want to move, and we find someone who gets it. The first match matters more than speed.
Your parent’s needs will change, your caregiver might have a family emergency, or you might realize you need someone with different skills. You can reach us, and we solve it without abandoning your family in the middle of the week.
We’re local. We understand the discharge process from Hartford Hospital, we know Rocky Hill’s roads and doctors, and we’ve supported families through dozens of these transitions. That local knowledge makes a real difference when things move fast.

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, and grooming. They prepare meals based on your parent's preferences and any dietary needs, remind about and assist with medications, and drive to appointments as needed. They also provide companionship, manage household tasks like laundry, and stay alert for health changes. If your parent has mobility issues, they assist with transfers and walking. They're simply present, which prevents falls, reduces confusion, and gives you peace of mind that someone is there when something goes wrong.
In most cases, we can have a caregiver in place within 48 to 72 hours of your call. Hospital discharges often move quickly, and we know that. We'll do a brief phone intake, ask you the questions that matter, and either match someone from our current team or begin the search immediately. If your parent is still at Hartford Hospital, we can coordinate with the discharge planner to ensure continuity the moment they get home.
No, live-in care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover medical services like nursing or therapy, but not full-time custodial or companion care. That said, some families find that live-in care is less expensive than assisted living facilities, and it keeps your parent at home. We're honest about costs upfront so there are no surprises.
A home health aide typically comes for a few scheduled hours per week, usually ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance for medical reasons. Live-in care is full-time, overnight included, and private pay. A live-in caregiver becomes part of your parent's daily life, available for the unpredictable moments and the middle-of-the-night situations where an aide cannot be. Think of it as the difference between visiting help and constant presence.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, medical history, habits, and the reasons they resist outside help. We also listen to what matters to you. Are they someone who wants help but needs gentleness? Do they prefer a caregiver close to their age? Do they need someone experienced with dementia or mobility issues? We match on fit and compatibility, not just availability.
We maintain a backup system so your parent is never left alone. If your regular caregiver calls out sick or has a family emergency, we source a replacement as quickly as possible, and you're notified immediately. For extended absences, we work to find a new match. We don't leave families scrambling or asking neighbors to check in. Your parent's care is our responsibility, and we take that seriously.
