Live-In Care is a caregiver who lives in your parent’s home, providing around-the-clock support. They’re there for meals, medication reminders, mobility help, personal care, and the simple presence that makes a real difference. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s the steady, full-time attention that keeps someone safe and independent at home.
On a typical day, your caregiver manages the morning routine, prepares meals, manages medications, helps with light housekeeping, and stays alert through the evening and night. They’re the person your parent actually sees every day, not a few hours a week. Families tell us they sleep better knowing someone trustworthy is there.
Many Sterling families choose Live-In Care right after a hospital stay, especially after discharge from Day Kimball Hospital when going directly to assisted living feels wrong. We were founded by a nurse who saw firsthand how much safer and happier people feel at home with the right support. That background shapes everything we do, from how we listen to your situation to how we train and match caregivers.
We understand what full-time presence actually means because we’ve lived it in nursing. We know the difference between a few hours a week and someone there when things go wrong at 2 a.m. That experience changes how we match caregivers and set up your care.
We spend time understanding your parent, their routines, their preferences, and what matters to them. We don’t just send a caregiver, we brief them thoroughly and make sure the fit is right. Most families tell us the first match works because we actually ask the right questions.
Live-In Care situations evolve. If your caregiver gets sick, if your parent’s needs shift, if you need to add hours or adjust support, you reach us and we respond. You’re not on your own figuring it out.
We know Sterling and the surrounding towns, we understand the Day Kimball Hospital discharge process, and we work with local families regularly. Being local means we can respond quickly and understand the specific resources and rhythms of your community.

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.

Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A Live-In caregiver helps with breakfast, medications, bathing or showering, dressing, meals throughout the day, light housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders, and personal errands. They're present during evening and nighttime, available if your parent needs help getting to the bathroom or moving safely. They're not a nurse giving medical care, but they're the steady presence that prevents isolation and keeps things organized.
We typically can start within a few days of your call, sometimes sooner depending on your needs and our caregiver availability. We work with families and the hospital discharge team to understand what your parent needs and get someone in place quickly. If your parent is already home and you're looking for support, we can move just as fast.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you work with us directly rather than through insurance. It's an investment in your parent staying home safely, and many families budget for it the way they would assisted living costs. We're transparent about pricing and can discuss what works for your situation.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day for specific medical or personal care tasks, often ordered by a doctor post-hospitalization. Live-In Care means someone is there full-time, providing continuity, companionship, and help with everything from meals to safety around the clock. Live-In Care is about the constant, reassuring presence that keeps your parent home and independent.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs before we suggest a match. We have caregivers with different strengths, and we think matching is about fit, not just availability. We'll brief your caregiver thoroughly on your parent's specific situation and check in after the first week.
We maintain backup coverage and communicate with you immediately if there's any change. We work hard to keep the same caregiver in place for consistency, but if illness or emergencies happen, we have trained alternates ready. You'll never be left without coverage, and we keep you informed every step.
