Your sister noticed it at Thanksgiving, sitting around the table on Hope Street. Your mom wasn’t quite herself, moving slower, forgetting things mid-sentence. The next morning you drove past Stamford Hospital and realized you couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine. Live-In Care means someone is there, every day and night, so you’re not the one making that drive with white knuckles anymore.

Live-In Care is one person, in your parent’s home, for the full shift. Morning to night, or night to morning, or 24 hours straight if that’s what your family needs. It’s not a parade of different caregivers. It’s consistency, presence, and someone who knows your parent’s routine because they’re living it.
On any given day, you’re looking at help with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, mobility, and the hundred small things that add up when you’re managing alone at home. The caregiver drives to appointments, picks up prescriptions, keeps the house running. They notice what you’d notice if you were there. They call when something shifts. They’re awake when your parent needs them at 3 a.m.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand discharge planning from Stamford Hospital and what it really takes to keep someone safe at home long-term. We’re local to Fairfield County, we know the neighborhoods in Stamford, and we’ve built relationships with the hospitals and doctors here. That matters when you need answers fast.
Your parent won’t move to assisted living, and honestly, you don’t want them to either. We’ve built Live-In Care for families like yours, where staying home isn’t just preferred, it’s non-negotiable. Being nurse-founded means we see the full picture of what safety and independence actually look like at home.
Before anyone walks through your door, we talk to you about who your parent is, what they need, and what the rhythm of the house should feel like. We brief every caregiver thoroughly and watch the match in the first week. If it’s not working, we change it. Full-time presence only works if the person is right.
Live-In Care isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. Your parent ages, their needs shift, medications change. You call us with questions or concerns, and you get answers from someone who understands nursing and home care. We’re here to adjust the plan, not just staff the hours.
We work with Stamford Hospital, we know the neighborhoods from Shippan Point to North Stamford, and we have relationships with local doctors and specialists. When you need fast discharge planning or a caregiver who can navigate your community, that local knowledge matters.

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 helps with bathing, dressing, grooming, and all activities of daily living. They prepare meals, manage medications, handle light housekeeping, and drive to appointments. They're there at night, awake when your parent needs something. Beyond the tasks, they're a consistent presence who watches for changes, calls the doctor when needed, and keeps your family in the loop.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a hospital discharge if you reach out early. Being local to Stamford and having relationships with discharge planners at Stamford Hospital means we understand the timeline and can move fast. We recommend starting conversations while your parent is still hospitalized, so we can meet them at home with everything ready.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of in-home support because it's not medical care, it's daily living assistance and supervision. We're transparent about costs upfront and can discuss what full-time care actually runs in the Stamford area so you can plan accordingly.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few days a week, usually ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay. Live-In Care is full-time presence, 8 hours, 16 hours, or 24 hours a day, depending on what your parent needs. It's the difference between part-time help and someone actually living in your home, awake when your parent is awake, there for whatever comes up.
Yes. We sit down with you and learn who your parent is, what their personality is, what kind of person would be a good fit in your home. We brief the caregiver fully before they start, and we watch the match carefully in the first week. If something isn't working, we listen and we change it. The caregiver is going to be in your house full-time, so the match has to feel right.
We have backup coverage so there's no gap. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we step in with someone we've already briefed on your parent's care. You're not scrambling for last-minute sitters or worrying about whether your parent will be safe. Continuity is part of what you're paying for.
