Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is one caregiver, full-time presence in your parent’s home. They’re there overnight and through the day, handling personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and the constant small decisions that keep someone safe and supported at home. It’s not a shift-based service; it’s continuity.
Families see a real difference quickly. Medications get taken on time. Meals happen at regular hours. There’s someone to notice if your parent isn’t feeling well, to help with bathing and dressing, to sit with them in the evening. The house stays functioning. Your parent stays in their own room, their own routine, their own life.
After a discharge from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, we work closely with the care team to understand what your parent needs next. We’re nurse-founded, which means we read medical histories clearly, we know how to spot changes, and we don’t panic at the normal bumps. That foundation matters in the first weeks after hospitalization, when attention is everything.
We understand full-time live-in presence because we’ve lived the gaps that exist in other models. Our founder built this around what she learned from years in hospitals and homes. That background means we’re reliable about the things families don’t see coming.
We don’t just send a caregiver. We talk with your family first, we learn who your parent is, what their day actually looks like, what your biggest worries are. Then we match carefully and brief thoroughly so the caregiver walks in knowing the context.
Live-In Care situations change. Your parent’s health changes, a caregiver has a family emergency, you need to add weekend support. We’re reachable when that happens, and we solve it without making it your problem to manage.
We know Stonington, Groton, Ledyard, the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital discharge process, the doctors here. We’re not a national service with a 1-800 number. We’re local, we move fast, and we understand your actual situation.

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 caregiver arrives and stays through the night and the next day. They help with bathing, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene. They prepare meals, remind your parent to take medications at the right time, keep the house clean and laundry managed, and drive to appointments if needed. They're watching, noticing if something feels off, and reporting back to you. It's a full-time job for one person in your parent's home.
We typically start within two to three business days of your call, sometimes sooner. We'll ask for the discharge summary and talk with your parent's nurse or doctor before the caregiver arrives, so we understand what was treated and what to watch for. In urgent situations, we've started care the next day. The key is having the right briefing so the caregiver isn't walking in blind.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers home health and skilled nursing services, which are very different from full-time in-home care. We work with families to understand their budget and what makes sense for their situation. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We're honest about cost upfront because you deserve to plan clearly.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours per day, a few days per week, usually through a medical agency and covered by insurance. Live-In Care means one caregiver is present full-time, day and night, in your parent's home. It's continuity rather than visits. It's the right choice when your parent needs constant oversight or refuses to move to assisted living, and when you need someone reliable every single day.
Yes. We talk with your family about what matters, what your parent's personality is like, what routines matter to them, whether they need someone strong for physical care or someone good with dementia. We have caregivers in our network here in New London County, and we match thoughtfully. It's not a perfect science, but we take time instead of just sending whoever is available.
We have backup. If your regular caregiver is sick or has a family emergency, we find a replacement from our network so your parent isn't left stranded. We give you a heads-up and make sure the backup caregiver has the same briefing. In an extended absence, we'll work with you to transition to a new regular caregiver so there's consistency again.
