You got the call from your sister after the holiday dinner at the house on Ellington Road. Your mom had forgotten she’d already eaten, couldn’t remember your daughter’s name, and wouldn’t let anyone talk about moving. A week later, Manchester Memorial Hospital discharged her, and you realized someone needed to be there, in her home, all the time. That’s when Live-In Care made sense.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means having a trained caregiver in your parent’s home, full-time, overnight. It’s not a nurse making a visit. It’s a presence, someone there at 2 a.m. when your mom can’t sleep, at breakfast when she needs help, in the afternoon when she’s restless. It’s the difference between checking in by phone and knowing someone is actually there.
Day-to-day, you’ll see medication reminders given on time, meals prepared and eaten, personal care handled without your parent feeling rushed or embarrassed. The caregiver manages the house, watches for falls or changes in mood, and keeps a record of how your parent is really doing. Families tell us they sleep better knowing their parent isn’t alone, and their parent feels safer in their own home.
Here in South Windsor, many families come to us right after a hospital stay at Manchester Memorial Hospital. Our nurse-founded approach means we understand what discharge planning really requires and how to bridge that gap between hospital care and home stability. We’re not a staffing company placing a warm body. We’re people who’ve managed these transitions ourselves and know what works.
One of us spent years managing the exact situation you’re in now. That background means we understand full-time presence differently than most agencies. We know what keeps your parent safe and what keeps you sane.
We talk to you about your parent’s temperament, habits, and what matters to them. Then we find a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. The briefing goes both ways, so both your parent and the caregiver start on solid ground.
Your parent’s needs will change. A health scare, a difficult week, a medication adjustment. You reach us directly, and we adjust. You’re not talking to a call center script.
We know Manchester Memorial Hospital’s discharge process, the doctors in the South Windsor area, and the rhythms of home care here. That local knowledge matters when you need fast answers.

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
Morning help with shower and dressing, preparing breakfast and making sure it gets eaten, medication reminders, companionship and conversation, meal prep for lunch and dinner, light housekeeping and laundry, evening personal care, overnight presence so your parent isn't alone. The caregiver documents anything important so you stay informed. It's not medical nursing, but it's constant, reliable presence.
If you call us before discharge, we can often start within 24 to 48 hours of coming home. We work with the hospital's discharge planner and your parent's doctor to understand what's needed from day one. In emergency situations, we've started same-day or overnight. The sooner you call, the sooner we can brief your caregiver and have them ready.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or home health visits, but not full-time live-in caregiving. Long-term care insurance sometimes covers part of it, but you'll want to check your specific policy. We can discuss the costs upfront and help you understand what 24-hour care actually runs. Many families find it still costs less than assisted living and keeps their parent home.
A home health aide comes for a few hours a week, often ordered by Medicare after a hospital stay. Live-In Care means someone is there all the time, overnight and day. The scope is broader too. A live-in caregiver handles daily living, safety, companionship, and flexibility around your parent's real schedule, not a fixed appointment slot. It's a different level of support for a different situation.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about who your parent is, what they enjoy, what triggers them, how they sleep, what they eat. Then we listen to what our available caregivers bring and match carefully. It's not random. A good match makes everything easier for everyone. If the first pairing isn't working, we talk about it and can shift.
We have backup caregivers we've briefed on your parent's situation. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we send a trained replacement who knows your parent's routine. Your care doesn't stop. We let you know the same day if there's any change to the plan, and we make sure the backup is comfortable and your parent is settled.
