Post-Hospital Care is what happens after your parent or family member leaves the hospital and returns home. It’s not nursing, and it’s not full-time home care, it’s the focused, practical support that bridges that gap when the hospital sends someone home and everyone holds their breath hoping nothing goes wrong. We show up for the medication schedule, watch for falls, get people to follow-up appointments, and catch the small signs that something’s shifting before it becomes a crisis.
On a typical day, your caregiver checks in on medication timing, helps with the physical tasks that are still hard after discharge, keeps an eye on how your family member is moving around the house, and makes notes about what the doctor needs to know at that first follow-up visit. We’re there to answer the questions that pop up at 3 p.m. when the nurse line is busy, to make sure food is actually being eaten, and to catch a fall or a missed dose before it turns into a setback.
Brooklyn families trust us because we know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process, we understand Windham County’s roads and rhythms, and we’re nurse-founded, which means we come in knowing exactly what discharge anxiety feels like and what can actually go wrong in those first weeks at home. That background shapes everything we do, from how we brief each caregiver to how we stay reachable when things change.
Being nurse-founded means we’ve lived the moment when the hospital door closes and you realize no one’s watching anymore. We know the anxiety families carry, the worry about falls in those first weeks, the medication errors that happen quietly at home, and the appointments that slip through the cracks. That’s why we’re here, and why we stay focused on what actually prevents a second hospital stay.
We don’t just send someone to your door. We talk with you and your family first, we understand what your parent needs and what you’re worried about, and we match a caregiver who fits. Your caregiver comes in knowing the specifics, knowing the medication schedule, knowing the fall risks, ready to do the work thoughtfully from day one.
Post-Hospital Care situations shift fast. A swollen ankle, a skipped meal, confusion about a new prescription, a caregiver who can’t make a shift. You call us and reach a person who knows your family, not an answering service. We solve it.
We work regularly with Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge team, we know the follow-up clinics where your family member is headed, and we’re embedded in Brooklyn and the surrounding towns. That local knowledge matters when you need someone fast and you need them to understand your community.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We handle medication timing and reminders, help with basic household tasks that are still difficult after discharge, monitor for falls and other safety concerns, and watch for any signs that something's not right. We keep detailed notes and make sure follow-up appointments don't get missed. If your family member needs wound care or specific post-operative monitoring, we coordinate with their doctor. The focus is always on preventing that second hospital stay.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us early. The best scenario is when you or the hospital social worker reach out before your family member leaves Day Kimball, so we have time to brief the caregiver and get the specifics right. If you're calling after discharge, we still move fast, but advance notice gives us more time to match the right person.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, meaning it comes out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this kind of support because it sits between hospital care and traditional home health. What you're paying for is focused, reliable care in those critical weeks when your family member is most vulnerable, with staff who know exactly what to watch for.
Home health aides provide hands-on personal care, bathing and grooming and toileting, usually ordered by a doctor as part of medical home care. Post-Hospital Care is broader and shorter-term, focused on safety, medication management, and preventing complications in those fragile first weeks after hospital discharge. You can have both, or Post-Hospital Care alone depending on what your family member needs.
Yes, that's how we work. We talk with you about your parent's medical history, the specific things that worry you, any mobility or medication issues, and what your family's schedule looks like. Then we find and brief a caregiver who fits that picture. We're not filling a generic slot, we're building a match that makes sense for your situation.
You call us and we find coverage. We have other trained caregivers in the Brooklyn area who can step in. On the same day or the next morning, depending on when you reach us. We keep your family's details in our system so a backup caregiver knows what's needed and what to watch for, and we make sure there's no gap in the care that matters most.
