Live-In Care means someone is there. In your parent’s home, full-time, overnight. It’s not a few hours a week. It’s the continuity your parent needs when staying home alone isn’t safe anymore, but moving isn’t an option they’ll accept.
Your caregiver handles the day-to-day: meals prepared and eaten together, medications on time, bathing and dressing, light housekeeping, errands, doctor’s appointments, conversation. They’re awake at night if your parent needs them. They know your parent’s rhythms, what matters to them, what helps them feel secure.
Woodbridge families often turn to us after a stay at Yale New Haven Hospital, when discharge instructions say your parent shouldn’t be alone but there’s no family member who can move in. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what post-discharge recovery actually looks like and how to spot when something’s changing. We think like clinicians, but we live like family.
Nurse-founded means we built this service knowing that presence matters more than perfection. Your parent isn’t in a facility. They’re at home, with someone there who understands their medications, their habits, and when to call us if something feels off. That foundation changes everything about how we approach Live-In Care.
We don’t just send a warm body. We listen to who your parent is, what they need, what would drive them crazy. Then we bring in a caregiver we’ve vetted and trained, and we brief them on everything: medical history, routines, quirks, what your parent values. The first week matters. We stay close.
Live-In Care situations change. Your parent’s needs evolve. A medication interaction shows up. A fall happens. You need to reach someone who knows your family and can adjust quickly. We’re here, answering calls from Woodbridge families, not a 1-800 number.
We’re local. We understand how Yale New Haven Hospital coordinates discharge, which doctors in the area we work with regularly, what the Woodbridge community looks like. That local knowledge means faster setup and better continuity when your parent comes home needing 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 there when your parent wakes. They prepare breakfast together, help with bathing or grooming if needed, manage medications, handle light housekeeping, prepare lunch and dinner. They go to appointments, run errands, keep your parent company and engaged. At night they're sleeping in the home, awake if your parent needs help. The rhythm depends on your parent's needs and preferences, not a rigid schedule.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours if you call us right away. Hospital discharge planners at Yale New Haven know us and can coordinate directly. If your parent is still in the hospital, we'll visit to meet them and understand their needs. We'll brief your caregiver on their discharge paperwork and medications before arrival home.
Live-In Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover full-time in-home care. We're transparent about costs upfront. Many families explore whether they have long-term care insurance policies or veteran benefits that might help. We can discuss your situation honestly and help you understand what's possible.
Home health aides come for a few hours, usually 2 to 4 times weekly, often ordered by a doctor for post-discharge recovery. Live-In Care is full-time, overnight presence. Your parent isn't alone. The caregiver knows them deeply, anticipates needs, and can respond if something happens at 2 a.m. It's a different kind of safety.
Yes. We talk with you first. Does your parent need someone experienced with dementia, or mobility issues, or specific cultural background? Do they need someone quiet or social? We listen, then we find someone who fits. We've built a team across Woodbridge and the surrounding towns. Good matches take a little time, and that's worth it.
We back you up. We have caregivers who can step in if there's illness or emergency. We call you immediately, we brief the backup caregiver before arrival, and we work to restore continuity quickly. Your parent shouldn't ever feel abandoned, and you shouldn't ever feel stranded.
