Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is one caregiver in your parent’s home, full time. They’re there in the morning, through the day, into the evening. Not a nurse making rounds. Not an aide checking in for two hours. One person, present, who knows your parent’s rhythms and can respond when something changes.
On any given day, that looks like help with bathing and dressing, meals and medication reminders, light housekeeping, errands, companionship, and the quiet assurance that someone is there if your parent falls, forgets, or just needs a hand. It looks like your parent staying in their own home, in their own routine, with continuity instead of a rotating schedule.
Families in Winchester often turn to us after a hospital stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, when discharge plans feel thin, or when they realize assisted living isn’t happening. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, how to brief a caregiver on medical details, and why matching matters. That foundation shapes everything we do in Live-In Care.
We understand the difference between a job and a presence. Our founder worked in hospitals and homes long enough to see what actually works. Live-In Care isn’t just coverage, it’s stability for a parent who will not move, and peace of mind for adult children who need it.
We don’t send the next available caregiver. We ask about your parent’s personality, habits, what time they wake up, whether they prefer quiet mornings or conversation. We brief the caregiver fully and stay available to adjust if the match needs refining.
A health change, a family visit, a bad week, a medication adjustment. You reach us, not a call center. We know your parent’s situation and can adapt the plan fast.
We work with families and discharge planners at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. We know the corridors, the processes, the timing. We can step in immediately when your parent comes home and needs continuity of care.

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 is present from morning through evening, or full 24 hours if that's what your parent needs. They help with bathing, dressing, grooming, all meals and snacks, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, errands, and companionship. They're also watching, so if your parent seems off, forgets to take their pills, or needs medical attention, the caregiver notices and calls you or their doctor. It's not nursing care, but it's the adult supervision and presence that keeps your parent safe and fed and cared for in their own home.
We can often start within 48 hours of a discharge, sometimes faster. The key is giving us a few days' notice so we can properly brief the caregiver on your parent's medical situation, medications, and routines. If you're in the hospital now, call us while your parent is still there. We work with the discharge team and can be ready when your parent walks through the door at home.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because it's not skilled nursing or medical care, it's custodial and personal care. We can give you a clear estimate upfront. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or funds from home equity or savings. We've worked with families to find what's possible for their situation, and we're honest about costs from the start.
A home health aide comes for scheduled hours, usually 2 to 4 hours at a time, and is ordered by a doctor for medical reasons. Live-In Care is full-time presence. One caregiver in your parent's home from early morning through evening, or around the clock. Aides are great for specific support after an injury or illness, but they leave. Live-In Care means someone is there, day in and day out, so your parent isn't alone.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, health situation, and preferences. Do they need someone who's patient and quiet, or someone more engaged and talkative. Are there medical or mobility needs that require specific experience. We take that information and match thoughtfully, then we check in. If the fit isn't right, we adjust. One-size-fits-all doesn't work for Live-In Care.
We have backup coverage. If your caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we step in with a trained substitute so there's no gap in care. We let you know right away and manage the transition. You're never left scrambling to find someone last minute. That continuity and reliability is part of what you're paying for.
