Live-In Care is a full-time caregiver who lives in your parent’s home. They’re there for meals, medications, bathing, movement around the house, and the hundred small things that keep someone safe and dignified when they can’t manage alone. It’s not a nurse making visits, it’s a presence.
You’ll see meals prepared and eaten, medications taken on time, laundry done, appointments kept. Your parent stays in their own bed, their own neighborhood, their own life. The caregiver becomes part of the rhythm of the day, and you stop holding your breath waiting for something to go wrong.
Suffield families often turn to us after a discharge from Hartford Hospital when it’s clear that home care visits three times a week aren’t enough. We were founded by a nurse who’d watched families struggle to find this exact thing, so we know what full-time presence actually means and what it takes to make it work.
Your parent won’t move to assisted living, and we’re not here to convince them otherwise. We started this because we saw families exhausted by that fight. Live-In Care in their own home is real, possible, and we’ve been doing it long enough to know how.
We spend time understanding who your parent is, what they need, and who they might actually accept in their home. A good match isn’t luck, it’s a conversation that starts before anyone arrives. We brief every caregiver fully so they walk in knowing the history, the preferences, the non-negotiables.
Your parent’s needs shift. A medication changes, a grandchild visits, a fall happens. When you need to talk to someone who actually knows your situation, you reach us and we’re there. Not an answering service, not a callback in two days.
We’re local to Suffield and Hartford County, so we understand the discharge process from Hartford Hospital, the community resources, and the specific way things work here. That knowledge matters when you’re trying to move quickly and get it right.

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 is present from wake-up through bedtime, handling meals, medications, bathing, dressing, and light housekeeping. They're there if your parent needs help moving around the house, getting to an appointment, or just having someone to talk to at dinner. It's not a medical nurse unless that's what's needed, it's someone trained in safety, hygiene, and what your parent actually needs to stay home.
We can often start within days of discharge if you reach out right away. If your parent is being discharged and you know they need full-time help at home, call us before they leave the hospital. We work with the discharge planner and can have someone in place quickly, with a full briefing on what the hospital team has told us about their needs.
No, Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare covers home health visits, but not full-time in-home caregiving. Some long-term care insurance policies may help, but most families pay directly. We're transparent about cost upfront and can talk you through what to expect and what might help offset it.
A home health aide visits a few times a week for a few hours at a time, usually under a doctor's order after hospitalization. Live-In Care means someone is there full-time, every day, in the home. The scope is different, the continuity is different, and the cost is different. Home health is medical care, Live-In Care is daily life support so your parent can stay home safely.
Yes, that's how we work. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what personality might work in their home. We don't just send someone available, we match carefully. If it's not working after a week or two, we talk about it and adjust. The goal is a person your parent can trust and work with.
We arrange coverage so there's always someone there. You're not scrambling to find a backup or going without care. If a caregiver is sick or needs time off, we coordinate a replacement so the routine stays the same and your parent knows someone will be there.
