Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Live-In Care is a caregiver who stays in your home full-time, usually overnight and through the day. They’re there for the medication reminders, the meals, the help with bathing and dressing, the company so your parent isn’t alone. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s the steady, awake presence that keeps your parent safe and lets you sleep at night.
On a typical day, you’ll see your caregiver handle breakfast, help with personal care, manage the daily routine, watch for changes, and keep your parent engaged. They’ll be alert at 2 a.m. if there’s a fall or confusion. They’ll know when something feels off, like a UTI or medication side effect, and flag it before it becomes a crisis.
Many Windham families come to us right after a discharge from Windham Hospital, when it’s clear that going home means needing round-the-clock eyes. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what a full-time caregiver can and can’t do, and we build safety margins into every match. That foundation shapes how we listen and how we staff.
Most parents don’t want to move to assisted living, and most adult children don’t want to push them out. We were founded by a nurse who watched her own parent say no to that option. Live-In Care is built for the parent who will stay home, and for families who can make that work safely.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, schedule, and needs before we suggest a caregiver. We’re looking for someone who fits the household, not someone who just checks boxes. That conversation, and the listening behind it, is how we avoid the churn that comes with a bad first match.
Live-In Care changes. A parent’s health shifts, a caregiver needs to move, your family’s needs evolve. We’re reachable when you need to pivot, whether that’s adding hours, adjusting tasks, or moving to a different arrangement. You’re not left alone managing it.
We know the Windham Hospital discharge process, the local doctors, the neighborhoods where our families live. That local knowledge means faster placement and fewer surprises. We’re not a national outfit parachuting in caregivers we’ve never met.

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 and manages medications, prepares meals, helps with bathing and dressing, and oversees personal care. They're awake during the day and overnight, so they notice falls, confusion, or changes in appetite or mood. They also provide company, help with light housekeeping, manage appointments, and keep your parent engaged. You set the priorities, and we adjust around them.
We can often place a caregiver within days of a discharge, depending on your timeline and our available staff. If you're still at Windham Hospital, call us while your parent is there so we can start the conversation and matching process. In urgent situations, we prioritize and move faster. We won't leave you waiting on the discharge day.
Live-In Care is private pay, meaning it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're transparent about cost from the first call. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and some work with their financial advisor on the best way to pay. We can discuss options, but we don't oversell coverage that isn't there.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a few times a week, under medical orders, to help with specific tasks. Live-In Care is full-time presence, 24 hours in your home, and it's about the overall safety and routine of your parent, not just medical tasks. You're paying for availability and continuity, not just for the hours worked.
Yes. We listen to what your parent is like, what bothers them, what they enjoy, and what skills and personality we need in a caregiver. We're not matching on a form. We're trying to get it right so both your parent and the caregiver feel like they landed well. If the first match doesn't fit, we work to adjust or change it.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready for gaps due to illness, vacation, or emergency. If your regular person can't work, we call in a backup as quickly as we can, or we adjust the schedule. You won't be left uncovered, and we'll keep you informed about what's happening. It's part of being your steady partner in this.
