Your mom called the neighbor instead of you three times last week. She didn’t mean to, but her memory slipped, and she needed someone right then.

Live-In Care means someone is there, all day and night, so you’re not managing a crisis from an hour away.

Live-In Care means a trained caregiver lives in your parent’s home and is present around the clock. They’re there during the day for meals, medication, and activities. They’re there at night if your parent wakes up confused or needs help. It’s full-time presence without your parent having to leave their home or move into an assisted living facility.
On a typical day, your caregiver handles personal care, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and companionship. They notice changes, keep you informed, and know your parent’s routine inside and out. They’re not a home health aide coming for a few hours; they’re woven into the daily rhythm of your parent’s life.
Many Willimantic families turn to Live-In Care right after a hospital stay at Windham Hospital, when discharge means your parent isn’t ready to be alone. Our nurses understand full-time in-home care from the inside, having managed it in real homes with real families. We know what actually works when your parent refuses to move, and we build a care plan that makes staying home possible.
Our founder trained in hospitals and homes, so we understand what 24-hour care actually requires. We’re not guessing about medication timing, fall risk, or when to call the doctor. We built this agency around what we learned caring for people ourselves.
We listen to who your parent is, what they need, and what will actually work in your home. We spend time on the match because a caregiver who understands your parent’s personality and habits makes all the difference. You’re not cycling through people; we find someone who fits.
Your parent’s needs will change, and so will your situation. You can call us when you need to adjust hours, add support, or talk through what you’re seeing. We don’t disappear once the care starts; we’re here as long as you need us.
We’re local to Willimantic, Windham, Coventry, and the surrounding towns. We know Windham Hospital’s discharge process, and we can start care fast when your parent comes home. Being here means we understand the rhythms of your community and the specific resources available to you.

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 helps with bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming. They prepare meals based on your parent's preferences and dietary needs, manage medications and reminders, do light housekeeping and laundry, provide transportation to appointments, and offer companionship and activities. They're watching for changes in mood, appetite, mobility, or behavior and keeping you informed. Evening and night, they're available if your parent needs help, can't sleep, or becomes confused.
We can often place a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on your parent's specific needs and our current availability. We work with Windham Hospital's discharge team to understand what's needed before your parent leaves. If you give us a heads-up, we move fast. We know the window between hospital discharge and being home alone is critical.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover full-time live-in caregiving because it's custodial care, not medical care. Some families use long-term care insurance, Veterans benefits, or Medicaid if they qualify. We're honest about cost upfront and work with you on what's feasible for your situation.
A home health aide visits for a few hours a few times a week, usually ordered by a doctor for medical reasons. Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your home 24 hours a day, seven days a week, handling all daily activities and being present overnight. Live-In Care is for families who need constant presence, not periodic support. It's the difference between someone checking in and someone being there.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, preferences, health needs, and what matters most to them. We listen to you too, because you know what will actually work in your home and your family's life. We don't place a caregiver who can help; we place a caregiver who fits. If the match isn't working, we address it.
We arrange backup coverage so care doesn't stop. We maintain a network of trained caregivers so if your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, someone is ready to step in. We give you notice as much as possible and try to use familiar faces from our team. We won't leave you stranded.
