Live-In Care is a caregiver who lives in your parent’s home and provides round-the-clock support. Unlike hourly home health aides, your caregiver is present overnight, handles meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and companionship. It’s a real alternative to moving into assisted living, especially when your parent refuses to leave.
On any given day, you’ll see your parent eating regular meals, taking medications on time, getting washed and dressed, having someone to talk to during the long afternoons, and going to bed knowing someone safe is in the house. Your caregiver handles the small tasks that pile up, watches for changes in mood or health, and gives you peace of mind when you’re not there.
Shelton families often turn to Live-In Care after a hospital stay at Griffin Hospital or when they realize their parent isn’t safe alone anymore. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, how to spot early warning signs, and how to keep your parent comfortable at home instead of in a facility.
Our founder was a registered nurse who learned that overnight care changes everything. We don’t send someone for four hours a day and call it enough. We match a caregiver who moves into your parent’s routine, knows their habits, and catches problems before they become crises.
We don’t assign caregivers randomly. We ask about your parent’s personality, what matters to them, any deal-breakers. We brief your caregiver on your family’s history so they arrive prepared, not learning on the job.
If your caregiver gets sick or your parent’s needs shift, you reach us and we respond. We manage the backup plan so you don’t have to scramble at midnight.
We work with Griffin Hospital’s discharge planners and understand Shelton’s neighborhoods, from downtown to the quieter areas. We know what your parent needs when they come home, and we’re local enough to show up in person if we need to.

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 prepares meals, reminds your parent to take medications, helps with bathing and dressing, does light housekeeping and laundry, drives to appointments, and provides companionship. They're awake during the night if your parent needs help to the bathroom or gets confused. They monitor your parent's mood and health and let you know if something changes. It's not medical nursing, but it's consistent, attentive care.
We can often start within 48 hours if you're ready. We'll coordinate with Griffin's discharge team, get your parent's medical history and routine, and place a caregiver who's been briefed on their specific needs. If your parent is coming home on Friday, we can have someone there Saturday morning.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you cover it out of pocket. Medicare doesn't pay for round-the-clock non-medical care, and most insurance plans don't either. We can tell you exactly what the cost is before you commit, and we work with families on flexible arrangements.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours on certain days to help with personal care. Live-In Care means someone is in your parent's home 24/7, so they're there for meals, overnight safety, companionship, and unexpected moments. It's intensive and constant, not scheduled around other clients.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, any health concerns, and what matters most to them. We have caregivers experienced with dementia, mobility issues, medication management, and people who just need full-time company. We don't guess, and we don't place someone who isn't a good fit.
We line up backup coverage before it's needed. If your caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we call in a trained substitute who already knows your parent or gets a full briefing first. We don't leave you scrambling. If it's a longer-term change, we work on a permanent replacement quickly.
