Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means one caregiver in your parent’s home, working full-time shifts, overnight and into the next morning. They’re there for the things that can’t wait, the things that happen at 2 a.m., the medication reminders, the meals, the company. It’s what happens when you need eyes on your parent around the clock but want them to stay home.
On any given day, you’ll see your caregiver handling personal care, medication management, light meal prep, and laundry. They help your parent get dressed, stay engaged, take their walks. They notice changes and report back to you. They’re a steady, familiar presence in the house, not a visitor who leaves at 5 p.m.
In Stratford, many of our families are managing the transition home after a stay at Bridgeport Hospital or handling the slow changes that come with aging in place. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, we know how to screen for safety, and we match caregivers based on real compatibility, not just availability.
Our founder is a nurse. We know that Live-In Care isn’t just hiring help, it’s creating a household where your parent feels safe 24 hours a day. We’ve built our matching and training around what actually works when someone is present in your home around the clock.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, and what they need in a caregiver before we introduce anyone. We’ve seen what happens when the wrong person walks in the door. We move deliberately and get it right the first time.
Your parent’s needs will change. A medication adjustment, a hospital visit, a bad week. You reach us directly and we adjust. No voicemail black holes. No waiting for a callback.
We know Stratford. We know the Bridgeport Hospital discharge process because we’ve handled it dozens of times. We know the neighborhoods, the streets, the doctors, the rhythms of how care actually works here.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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 arrives and helps your parent wake up, get dressed, take medications, and eat breakfast. Through the day, they prepare meals, handle housekeeping, remind about appointments, help with personal care, go to medical visits, take a walk, watch for anything that seems off. At night, they're in the home, available if your parent needs help getting to the bathroom or if something feels wrong. It's full presence, not a checklist.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours of a discharge if you reach out before your parent leaves the hospital. We'll coordinate with the discharge planner, get the care plan, and match a caregiver who can pick up where the hospital leaves off. Sometimes we can be there the day of discharge if we have enough notice.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits and therapy, which are different from full-time live-in presence. Some long-term care insurance policies may help offset costs, but you'll want to check your specific policy. We work with what you have and talk openly about pricing from the first conversation.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a day, does specific tasks, and leaves. Live-In Care means one person is present in your home around the clock, handling all the daily needs and being there for emergencies or changes at night. It's constant presence versus scheduled visits, and it changes what's possible for your parent staying at home safely.
Yes. We spend time getting to know your parent's personality, habits, health needs, and what they respond to. Then we match from our team based on compatibility and experience. We don't just send whoever is available next. If the fit isn't right after the first week, we'll rematch.
We have backup coverage. If your primary caregiver is sick or can't work, we have someone ready to step in. You'll know who the backup person is ahead of time so your parent isn't confused. We don't leave gaps in coverage. It's part of the reliability you're paying for.
