Live-In Care in Thomaston, CT
A live-in caregiver who stays in the home full-time, the most consistent alternative to a facility.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your sister called after Thanksgiving dinner, worried. She’d noticed your mom seemed more tired, less steady getting up from the kitchen table at the old house on Main Street. A few weeks later, your mom’s doctor said she needed more support at home, but she wouldn’t hear about assisted living. That’s when you realized you needed someone there, full-time, who could handle what’s really ahead.

Live-In Care means we place a caregiver in your parent’s home for the hours they need most, or around the clock. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s a steady presence who helps with meals, medications, movement around the house, personal care, and the ordinary moments that matter. Your parent stays home. You know someone is there.
Day-to-day, families see their parent eating regular meals instead of skipping lunch, taking medications on time, staying engaged instead of sitting alone all day. You’ll see someone who notices small changes, a fall, a missed dose. You won’t come home to the TV running unwatched or worry about your parent driving when they shouldn’t. It’s the kind of attention that prevents crises.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires in a home setting. If your parent is coming home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, we know how to bridge that gap and make sure they’re not alone during recovery. We’ve built this service around the real needs of Litchfield County families, not assumptions about what families ought to want.
Your parent won’t move to assisted living, and honestly, that’s not wrong. Our nurse-founder gets why full-time home presence feels safer and more dignified. We don’t argue about it. We solve for it.
We talk to you first, listen to what your parent needs and who they’d trust. We don’t hand you a warm body and hope. We show up with someone who fits, who’s been briefed on your parent’s routines, quirks, and care plan.
Live-In Care situations change. A caregiver gets sick, your parent’s needs deepen, something unexpected happens. You call us, not a voicemail. We adjust and stay with you.
We’re local. We know the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge process because we work with families leaving it every month. We know Thomaston’s neighborhoods, traffic, and the rhythm of life here.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Live-In Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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
Our caregiver arrives for the hours you need, usually morning through evening or around the clock. They help with breakfast, medications, bathing or grooming, meals, light housekeeping, transportation to appointments, and just being present. They watch for falls, missed doses, mood changes, or anything that needs your attention. They're not a nurse, but they're trained to notice what matters and report to you and your parent's doctor.
We can often start within a few days if we have notice. The hospital's social worker can call us, or you can reach us directly while your parent is still there. We'll do a quick intake call, understand the discharge plan, and match a caregiver who's been briefed before they walk through the door. If it's urgent, we move fast.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover skilled nursing or medical home health, but not daily companionship and presence. We're honest about cost because families deserve to budget for it. Many families find that Live-In Care, compared to assisted living or facility care, offers better value and keeps their parent home.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours, a few days a week, for specific medical or personal care tasks ordered by a doctor. Live-In Care is full-time presence, day and night, whether your parent has a medical order or not. It's about preventing isolation and crises, not just handling a diagnosis. We work alongside your parent's doctor, but we don't need a medical referral to start.
Yes. We call you first. We ask about your parent's personality, habits, needs, whether they speak another language, what kinds of tasks matter most. We listen to what didn't work before. Then we match someone who fits, not just someone available. We've seen how much it matters when your parent actually likes the person helping them.
We call you as soon as we know, and we find a backup. We have caregivers on our roster specifically for coverage. We don't leave families hanging or asking your parent to manage alone. If the same backup shows up repeatedly, we work toward a permanent second caregiver so your parent has continuity and you have real peace of mind.
