Your mom called at 2 a.m. from Danbury Hospital after a fall on RT 37, and suddenly the idea of her living alone at home felt different. You started thinking about what full-time care would actually look like, someone there every day and night, so you wouldn’t spend every evening driving over the mountain wondering if she was okay. That’s when Live-In Care made sense.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means one caregiver stays in your parent’s home, working full shifts so there’s always someone there. It’s not sporadic visits. It’s a full-time presence, which changes everything about what’s possible at home and what safety actually feels like.
On any given day, your caregiver handles personal care, meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and just being present if something goes wrong at 3 a.m. They’re there for doctor’s appointments, pharmacy runs, and the kind of everyday support that keeps your parent from feeling isolated. Families often tell us they sleep better knowing someone is in the house.
If your parent is recovering from a Danbury Hospital discharge or simply refusing to leave the home they’ve lived in for decades, Live-In Care fills that gap between independence and institutional care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side, the emotional side, and exactly what it takes to keep someone safe and dignified in their own space.
We started this because we’ve been the caregiver, the worried adult child, the nurse at 2 a.m. Live-In Care isn’t something we read about in a textbook. It’s something we’ve lived, and we understand the weight of it.
We don’t just send someone and disappear. We brief your caregiver on your parent’s exact needs, check in regularly, and adjust if something isn’t working. You get a real person, not a rotation of strangers.
If your parent’s health shifts or your caregiver needs backup, you reach us directly. We have coverage plans, not just a phone tree. You stay in control.
We work with post-discharge patients coming home from Danbury Hospital every month. We understand the handoff process, the medications, the instructions. We’re local, and we know Sherman.

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 help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Your caregiver prepares meals, manages medications, does light housekeeping, and accompanies your parent to appointments. They're there to listen, to catch small changes in health, and to respond quickly if something feels wrong. Evenings and nights, they're available in case your parent needs help getting to the bathroom or if they're confused or anxious.
We can usually have someone in place within 48 to 72 hours if we know about the discharge ahead of time. If you call us during or right after a hospital stay, let us know your timeline and we'll prioritize the match. For urgent situations, we have emergency placement options while we find the right long-term caregiver.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time in-home care like this. We're transparent about costs from the start and can discuss payment plans or help you think through budget. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal savings. We work with what you have.
Home health aides visit for a few hours per week or day, usually ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care means someone is there full-time, living in your parent's home. The caregiver can respond to night-time emergencies, manage the whole day's routine, and build a real relationship with your parent. It's the difference between having someone check in and having someone present.
Yes. We listen to what your parent needs, who they are as a person, and what matters to your family. If your parent speaks a certain language, needs someone with dementia experience, or has specific medical needs, we factor all of that into the match. We don't treat this like a commodity. A good match takes time and honesty on both sides.
We have backup coverage, meaning another trained caregiver can step in if there's illness or emergency. We don't leave you scrambling. We also keep you in the loop about any changes and make sure your parent is comfortable with whoever is filling in. You're never left guessing.
