Post-Hospital Care in Bozrah, CT
In-home support after a hospital discharge — medication reminders, meals, mobility help, and follow-up care for seniors returning home.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom called from the ER at William W. Backus Hospital on a Tuesday, and by Friday she was home but everything felt wrong. You’re taking time off work, she’s afraid to walk to the bathroom alone, and the discharge paperwork sits on the kitchen table untouched. You need someone who gets what those first weeks actually look like, not in theory, but because they’ve been there.

Post-Hospital Care is what happens in the days and weeks right after someone comes home from the hospital. It’s not medical nursing. It’s the real work of keeping your parent safe, steady, and on track while their body is still recovering and everyone is adjusting to a new routine.
We’re there to watch for falls, catch medication mix-ups before they happen, drive to follow-up appointments, help with the meals nobody’s eating, and stay alert for the small changes that mean something’s shifting. We answer the questions that pop up at 10 p.m. We notice what the hospital discharge sheet missed. We give you permission to step back a little, knowing someone trained is actually watching.
We’re based right here in New London County and know how William W. Backus Hospital sends people home. Our founder was a nurse, which means we know how easy it is to miss a dose, misread the discharge plan, or not realize your parent is too scared to tell you they almost fell. That background shapes everything we do.
Our founder spent years watching families leave the hospital with good intentions and real fear. We know the difference between anxiety and actual risk. We know which medication errors are most common in the first two weeks at home, and we build our days around stopping them before they happen.
We don’t place a caregiver and disappear. We listen to what you need, we brief the caregiver fully, and we’re reachable every single day. If something changes, you call us and we know exactly who you are and what’s going on.
Post-Hospital Care situations change fast. Your parent gets stronger, or a new issue surfaces, or your schedule changes. We adjust without the red tape of larger agencies. One call, and we respond.
We work with families across all areas of Bozrah, Salem, Norwich, and the whole county. We understand the William W. Backus discharge process because we’re local. We know which follow-up clinics are reliable and which appointments are easiest to miss.

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 comes to your home during the hours we arrange. They'll help with breakfast and medication, watch for signs of a fall or new pain, help get ready for any appointments, handle transportation if needed, and keep notes on what they see. They're not there to do everything, but to be present and alert while your parent rebuilds confidence at home. Most days are quiet. Some days catch real problems early.
We can often start the same day or next morning if you reach us in time. We'll talk through what your parent needs, match you with an experienced caregiver, and brief them fully on the discharge paperwork and any concerns you have. If it's urgent, we move fast. If it's planned, we still get it done quickly so there's no gap.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits and therapy if your parent qualifies, but our service fills the gap on the days and hours when those visits don't happen. Many families use both at the same time. We can talk through how it all works together and what realistic costs look like for your situation.
A home health aide comes on a doctor's order for medical or personal care tasks, and Medicare or insurance pays. Post-Hospital Care is different. We come because you've called us after discharge, and we're focused on the safety and adjustment piece while your parent is still vulnerable. Sometimes families have both. Most of the time in those first weeks, they need what we do.
Yes. We talk to you first about your parent, what they're worried about, what worked well in the hospital, and what didn't. Then we choose someone experienced for that exact situation. We don't pull from a massive pool and hope it works. We pay attention and match thoughtfully.
We have backup coverage because we know that's the whole point of working with an agency. You shouldn't have to scramble last-minute or cancel an appointment. We'll send a trained substitute and brief them fully on your parent's situation. You'll know who's coming and why.
