Your mom came home from Windham Hospital last Tuesday, and by Thursday morning you noticed she hadn’t taken her blood pressure medication, even though the discharge papers were right there on the kitchen table.

Post-Hospital Care is focused support during the vulnerable weeks right after discharge from Windham Hospital. It’s not about medical nursing, it’s about getting your family through the adjustment period when your parent is still regaining strength, the house doesn’t feel set up right, and everyone’s worried about falls or missed doses.
On a typical day, our caregiver helps with medication reminders so nothing gets skipped, watches for signs of a fall or setback, keeps the house set up safely, and helps get your parent to follow-up appointments. You’ll see someone present and alert to what’s actually happening, not someone checking boxes.
We’re nurse-founded here in Windham County, which means we understand hospital discharge from the inside out. We know the Windham Hospital discharge process, we know what families miss in the first 72 hours, and we know the difference between a caregiver who shows up and one who actually understands what post-hospital recovery looks like.
Our founder came home from the hospital and saw firsthand what goes wrong in those first weeks. Medication confusion, a fall in the bathroom, family members pulling different directions. We know hospital discharge anxiety isn’t a feeling, it’s a real situation with real risks.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to what your parent needs, what your family is worried about, what happened in the hospital, and then we match a caregiver who understands those specific things. That matching happens before anyone walks through your door.
Hospital recovery doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s medication isn’t working, if a fall happens, if an appointment needs to move, you call us directly. No voicemail system, no waiting for someone to call back tomorrow.
We know the Windham Hospital discharge process, the local doctors your parent will follow up with, and the specific layout of Ashford neighborhoods. That local knowledge means we anticipate problems before they happen.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Post-Hospital Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.
Often same day for urgent Ashford families who need post-hospital care now.
We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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
Our caregiver is there to help with medication reminders, watch for signs of complications or falls, assist with bathing or movement if needed, help get your parent to follow-up appointments, and manage the practical things that pile up after discharge, like meal prep or light tidying. We're also watching. We notice if your parent seems confused about their medications, if they're avoiding stairs because they're scared, if they're not eating enough. That noticing is the work.
We can start the day of discharge if you call ahead, or within 24 hours if you reach out after your parent comes home. The sooner the better, because the first week is when most of the risky stuff happens. If your parent is being discharged tomorrow, call us today so we can get someone matched and ready.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover skilled nursing or short-term rehabilitation, but not the kind of presence and support we provide in the weeks after. We're honest about cost upfront, and we work with families on what makes sense for their situation. Most families find it's worth it to avoid a fall or readmission.
Home health aides provide personal care tasks under a care plan prescribed by a doctor. Post-Hospital Care is different, it's about the transition period after discharge, before your parent is stable or independent. We focus on discharge anxiety, medication safety, fall prevention, and making sure follow-up appointments happen. Some families use both, or post-hospital care first, then transition to other support.
Yes. Before we send anyone, we listen to what happened in the hospital, what your parent's biggest worries are, what your family's worried about, and what personality match would help. We also know Ashford, so we can put someone with your parent who understands the local doctors, the terrain, and the specific recovery your parent's facing.
We keep backup matches ready and we call you first before anyone new shows up. We don't leave you without coverage during Post-Hospital Care, because the point is continuity. If your regular caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we have someone we've already vetted who can step in.
