Live-In Care means a caregiver is in your parent’s home around the clock, providing the practical support that lets them stay put. We’re talking about medication reminders, meals, light housekeeping, mobility help, and someone present at night. It’s the difference between your parent feeling alone and your parent feeling secure in their own space.
On any given day, you’ll see a caregiver managing the details: making sure breakfast happens, helping with a shower, sitting with your parent during a doctor’s call, keeping the house in order. There’s someone there at 2 a.m. if your parent wakes up confused or needs help to the bathroom. The caregiver watches for small changes, too, the kind that matter. You get phone updates and peace of mind instead of constant worry.
When your parent comes home from Hartford Hospital, or when you realize they can’t manage alone anymore, Live-In Care fills that gap. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what full-time presence actually requires, how to match the right person to your parent, and how to keep things running smoothly over weeks and months.
We started this because we watched families struggle with the choice between a parent’s independence and their safety. Our founder understands that a 40-hour-a-week home health aide doesn’t solve the problem when your parent needs support around the clock. We built Live-In Care on real experience.
We ask about your parent’s actual day, their habits, what drives them crazy, what they need at 6 a.m. We don’t pull a caregiver from a generic list. The right fit changes everything, and we take time to get it right.
If your parent’s needs change, if there’s a health concern, if the current caregiver isn’t working out, you call us and we respond. You’re not managing this alone or navigating a massive corporate system. You reach a person who knows your situation.
We know the discharge process at Hartford Hospital, we know Windsor Locks neighborhoods, and we know the rhythms of families here. That familiarity matters when you need care to start fast and fit seamlessly into your parent’s actual life.

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, medications, meals, and household tasks. They're present through the day and night, which means if your parent needs help at midnight, someone is there. We focus on the practical things that let your parent stay home safely: assisting with bathing, dressing, taking medications on schedule, preparing food they'll actually eat, and keeping an eye on anything that seems off. You'll also get regular updates on how your parent is doing.
We can often start within days of discharge, sometimes the same day if you call ahead. The faster we know what your parent needs, the faster we can have someone in place. We work with Hartford Hospital's discharge team to understand your parent's post-hospital requirements and match a caregiver who gets it.
Live-In Care is private pay, not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're transparent about costs upfront. For many families, it costs less than assisted living while keeping your parent in their own home. We can discuss payment options and help you plan.
A home health aide typically comes a few hours a week and focuses on medical tasks. Live-In Care means someone is there full-time, 24/7, handling the whole picture: meals, medication, personal care, nighttime support, and companionship. It's the difference between occasional help and constant presence.
Yes, we make that match carefully. We ask about your parent's personality, their daily routine, medical needs, and what matters most to them. We listen to what you need too. We interview caregivers thoroughly and only suggest matches we believe will work. If it's not right, we adjust.
We have a backup plan. We either provide a trusted substitute quickly or adjust the schedule in advance if we know about it. You won't be left scrambling. Your parent's care is our responsibility, and we take that seriously.
