No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your sister noticed it during the holidays at your parents’ house on Prospect Street, the way your mom moved slower, how she deferred every decision to your dad. A week later, a fall in the kitchen that nobody found out about until your dad finally called. You realized then that he couldn’t keep doing this alone, and your mom wouldn’t leave Union. Live-In Care became the answer that actually worked.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is having someone in your parent’s home around the clock, every day. It’s not hourly visits or check-ins. It’s a full-time presence, someone who knows the routine, who’s there for meals, for safety, for the small and large moments that happen when you’re not there. It’s the alternative when your parent refuses assisted living but can’t manage alone anymore.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, and mobility. They’re there to catch a fall before it becomes a crisis. They keep the home safe, manage the laundry and light housekeeping, and report back to you on how your parent is really doing. You get peace of mind. Your parent gets to stay in their home. Everyone breathes easier.
Union families often find their way to us through Johnson Memorial Hospital, after a discharge where it becomes clear that going home alone isn’t going to work. We were founded by a nurse who understood that full-time care requires someone who can think clinically and act like family. That foundation shapes everything we do, every match we make in Union and the surrounding areas.
We didn’t start as a staffing company. We started because someone who’d worked in hospitals saw families struggling with the gap between independence and assisted living. That experience means we understand what full-time presence really looks like, and why the parent who refuses to move needs more than just supervision.
You’re not getting a name from a list. We meet with you, understand your parent’s personality and routines, and then do the work to find someone who fits. Before the caregiver arrives, we brief them on everything they need to know. That foundation matters when someone is going to be in your home every day.
Live-In Care situations change. Your parent’s health shifts, the caregiver situation changes, you need someone to talk to at 2 a.m. We’re here for that. Not a call center, not a script. People who understand what you’re managing.
We know Johnson Memorial Hospital and the discharge process. We know Union’s neighborhoods and we’ve built relationships with families here over years. That local knowledge matters when you need someone fast and you need it to work.

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 Live-In caregiver helps your parent with personal care like bathing and dressing, prepares meals, manages medications and reminders, handles light housekeeping and laundry, and provides companionship throughout the day and night. They're there for safety, for falls, for the moments when your parent needs help. They also keep you informed about how your parent is really doing. It's not medical nursing, but it's constant presence and support.
We can often have a caregiver in place within days of a discharge, sometimes sooner if we have a good match ready. We know the Johnson Memorial discharge timeline and we work with that urgency. The faster we understand what your parent needs, the faster we can brief a caregiver and get them to your home. Call us as soon as discharge is being talked about, not after.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's custodial and supportive rather than medical. That said, some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they work with us on rates. We're honest about the cost because you deserve to know what you're paying for and why it matters.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a day under a medical plan, usually ordered by a doctor after hospitalization. Live-In Care is someone in your home all the time, providing full daily support without a medical order required. It's the difference between someone who visits and someone who's there. Both have a place, but they serve very different needs.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, routines, health needs, and preferences. Then we do the work to find someone who genuinely fits, not just someone available. We've built a network of caregivers we know, and we take time with the match. A good fit makes everything work better.
We have backup coverage so there's always someone in your parent's home. We don't leave you or your parent without support. If a regular caregiver needs to be out, we arrange a substitute we know and trust, and we brief them on your parent's routine. You get a call so you're in the loop.
