Live-in care means a trained caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock. They’re there for meals, medication reminders, personal care, mobility help, and the ordinary things that become harder, like getting dressed or managing the house. They’re also there at 2 a.m. if something feels wrong, or when a neighbor calls with a concern.
On any given day, you’ll see someone who knows your parent’s routine: what they like for breakfast, which medications go with lunch, when they nap, what their moods are like. It’s not medical nursing unless you need medical support, but it’s steady, attentive presence. Your parent isn’t alone, you’re not managing crisis calls every other week, and things get caught early instead of late.
We were founded by a nurse who spent years watching families in Windham County face the same choice: move a parent into a facility or try to manage alone. Day Kimball Hospital discharges happen fast, and we work directly with their care coordinators to bridge the gap. We know Thompson, we know your parent’s doctors, and we know what it takes to keep someone safe and dignified at home.
We didn’t build this service to upsell you on hours. A nurse started this because she saw what actually helps: someone reliable sleeping under the same roof. We know the difference between coverage and care, and we build around real presence, not just tasks on a checklist.
We spend time understanding your parent and your family before anyone moves in. We match on personality and needs, not just availability. Your caregiver knows your parent’s history, preferences, and what matters to them, because we take the time to explain it up front.
Live-in situations change. Your parent gets sick, the caregiver needs a day off, or you realize you need more support. We’re here to troubleshoot, adjust, and find solutions without leaving you hanging in the middle of a crisis.
We know the hospitals, the doctors’ offices, and the homes in Thompson and nearby towns. We’ve worked with Day Kimball discharge planners long enough to move fast. We understand the geography and the community in a way that matters.

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 handles meals, medication reminders, bathing and dressing help, laundry, light tidying, and keeping an eye on how your parent is doing physically and emotionally. They're available for bathroom safety, mobility support, and help managing the house. They're also someone your parent sees every morning and evening, which makes a real difference in mood and alertness. What it is not: skilled nursing, medical wound care, or IV therapy, unless you arrange that separately.
We often place someone within three to five business days of discharge if we have the right match ready. If you're planning ahead and we know it's coming, we can brief the caregiver before your parent leaves the hospital. We work closely with Day Kimball's discharge team to make sure the transition is smooth and nothing gets dropped between hospital and home.
No. Live-in care is private pay, which means you cover the cost directly. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they pay from savings or family resources. We're honest about price from the start and can walk you through the financial piece so there are no surprises.
A home health aide typically visits for a few hours a day and focuses on personal care. Live-in care means someone is present all day and night, handling meals, household management, and the kind of steady presence that prevents small problems from becoming emergencies. It's the difference between coverage and constant, reliable support.
Yes. We talk with you first about your parent's personality, what they need help with, any medical history, and what matters most to your family. Then we match carefully instead of just filling the bed with whoever is available. If it's not working after the first week, we troubleshoot and adjust.
We have backup coverage so your parent isn't left alone. Depending on the situation, that might be another trained caregiver we've already introduced, or a temporary fill-in while we find a longer-term match. We call you right away so you're not wondering what's happening.
