Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home during waking hours and overnight, handling the things that matter most. Meals, medications, laundry, light housekeeping, reminders to bathe and dress, and someone to talk to when the house gets quiet. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s presence, routine, and eyes on your parent every single day.
Your parent gets to stay in their own home, in their own bedroom, with their own schedule. The caregiver shops with them, drives them to appointments, sits with them during meals so they actually eat, reminds them to take their pills, and notices if something feels off. You get the phone calls, not the worry keeping you up at night.
Many families in Willington come to us after a Johnson Memorial Hospital discharge, when your parent is home but not quite ready to be alone all day. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what to watch for, how to talk to doctors, and when a situation is serious. That background shapes everything we do in Live-In Care.
We built this agency because we’ve been where you are, watching a parent age in place. We know Live-In Care isn’t assisted living and it isn’t a band-aid. It’s a real alternative for a parent who refuses to move and a family that wants them safe and fed and not alone.
We don’t just send someone to your door. We talk through your parent’s habits, preferences, and needs first. Then we find a caregiver who fits, we introduce them slowly, and we stay in touch while the relationship settles in and gets stronger.
A Live-In Care situation isn’t static. Your parent’s health shifts, a caregiver leaves, you need hours adjusted. We answer the phone and we solve it because we’re the ones who know your family and your situation.
We live and work here. We know the doctors at Johnson Memorial Hospital, we understand Willington’s neighborhoods and roads, and we can respond fast when you need us. That’s not a small thing when your parent needs care now.

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 arrives early morning, helps your parent get dressed and take medications, makes breakfast together, handles the dishes and a load of laundry, drives your parent to an appointment or the bank, makes lunch, helps with light housekeeping or a walk outside, prepares dinner, sits with your parent in the evening, and stays overnight for safety. The specifics change based on what your parent needs and wants.
We often start within three to five business days of your call. We talk to your parent's discharge planner at Johnson Memorial, get the details we need, do a home visit with your parent and family, and begin matching. If the hospital stay is scheduled, we can get ahead of the discharge date so the caregiver is ready on day one.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's custodial care, not medical skilled nursing. We help families think through the cost upfront so there are no surprises. Many people use savings, family contributions, or long-term care insurance if they have it.
A home health aide typically comes for two to four hours a day, usually covered by insurance if prescribed by a doctor. Live-In Care is full-time presence, often overnight, and it's private pay. Home health is medical support. Live-In Care is about keeping your parent's life running smoothly while making sure they're safe and not alone.
Yes. We ask you about your parent's personality, routines, eating habits, health needs, and what matters most to them. We then find a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit. Some families need someone bilingual, or someone with dementia experience, or just someone quiet and reliable. We listen and we match thoughtfully.
We have a backup plan. We keep a list of trained caregivers we can call if yours gets sick or has an emergency. We give you notice as soon as we know there's a gap, and we work to fill it the same day or by the next morning. We don't leave your parent or your family hanging.
