Live-in care means one caregiver in your parent’s home for eight, twelve, or twenty-four hours a day. They’re there for the medications, the meals, the fall risk, the middle-of-the-night confusion. They’re there so your parent doesn’t have to leave. It’s not assisted living. It’s not moving them somewhere else. It’s keeping life as normal as possible while making sure they’re safe.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, breakfast, remembering medications, managing appointments, light housekeeping, meal prep, mobility support, and company. They’re watching for changes, too. A caregiver who’s in the home full-time catches things a twice-weekly aide would miss. Your parent gets to stay in their own room, their own routine, their own neighborhood.
Many Wilton families come to us after a hospital stay at Norwalk Hospital, when discharge feels impossible without extra support at home. We were founded by nurses, so we know what to watch for after medical events. We understand the difference between someone who visits three times a week and someone who’s actually there. That matters.
We started this company because nursing background showed us what full-time home presence really requires. A caregiver in your parent’s home around the clock has to know how to notice changes early. We train and match with that in mind.
You’ll talk directly with us about your parent’s specific needs and personality. We don’t send anyone until we’re confident. Then we stay involved, checking in regularly and adjusting if something isn’t working.
A caregiver gets sick. A new health issue comes up. You need backup fast. We keep our schedule flexible so you’re not scrambling when something shifts.
We know Norwalk Hospital’s discharge process, we know Wilton neighborhoods from Georgetown to Cannondale, and we’re familiar with the way Fairfield County families work. We’re not parachuting in from somewhere else.

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
Your caregiver will help with personal care like bathing and dressing, meal preparation, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and mobility support. They'll also do light housekeeping, laundry, and errands. Most importantly, they're present for falls, confusion, changes in health, and the simple fact that someone's there. They're not a nurse, but they're trained to notice what needs a nurse's attention.
That depends on how soon you contact us and what your timeline looks like. If discharge is scheduled, we usually have time to meet your parent, understand their needs, and place a caregiver within a few days. Urgent discharges are tighter, but we work hard to find coverage fast. The first conversation matters because it helps us know what we're working with.
No. Live-in care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits, and insurance may cover home health aides for certain medical conditions, but twenty-four-hour in-home presence isn't covered by either. We can help you understand what your insurance does cover, and we can coordinate with those services if they're part of your parent's care.
A home health aide visits a few times a week for a few hours. Live-in care means someone is in the home full-time. That's the difference between checking in and being present. After a fall at 3 a.m., or confusion about medications, or just realizing your parent shouldn't be alone anymore, you understand why presence matters.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, their medical history, what they like, what they won't tolerate. Then we listen for the caregiver who fits. We don't just fill the slot. The match affects everything else. A caregiver who's a good fit stays longer, your parent adjusts better, and trust builds faster.
We keep backup on call. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we send a replacement we've already met with so the disruption is as small as possible. We don't leave families without coverage. If we can't fill it same-day, we tell you immediately so you can make other plans, but that's rare.
