Your mom came home from Hartford Hospital three days ago, and she’s been moving slower than you expected. The stairs feel steeper to her now, and you’re second-guessing whether she should even attempt them. You live in Avon and can’t be there every morning, so you called us from the Canton area because you needed someone who actually understands what those first weeks feel like.

Post-Hospital Care is the bridge between the hospital bed and getting back to normal at home. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s hands-on support from someone trained to spot the real dangers during those fragile first weeks: a missed dose of blood pressure medication, the bathroom tile that’s suddenly slippery, the appointment card that got lost in the pile of discharge papers.
On a typical day, you’ll have someone in your home helping with medication organization and reminders, keeping an eye out for falls or confusion, making sure appointments actually happen, and honestly assessing whether your parent is eating, sleeping, and moving safely. We coordinate with Hartford Hospital’s discharge instructions, ask the questions you might miss, and call you if something doesn’t add up.
Here in Canton, we work with families coming home from Hartford Hospital all the time. We’re nurse-founded, which means we’re trained to recognize what matters and what’s just noise, and we don’t cut corners on the details that keep people safe at home.
We’ve been there ourselves, and we know that feeling when you’re driving home from the hospital thinking, Did they really explain how to handle the pain medication? Are we ready for this? We catch the gaps that hospitals can’t fill, and we talk you through it without the jargon.
We don’t send anyone generic. We listen to what your parent actually needs, what your schedule is, and what would make everyone sleep better at night. Then we find someone who fits, show up early to make the introduction solid, and stay involved.
Post-Hospital Care isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it service. If your parent isn’t bouncing back like expected, or a medication side effect shows up, or you need more support sooner than planned, you call us and talk to someone who knows the situation.
We understand the Hartford Hospital discharge process, we know the local pharmacies and clinics, and we’re familiar with what Canton families actually need in the first month home. That local knowledge matters when time is tight.

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 will help organize and remind about medications, watch for signs of falls or confusion, prepare meals if eating is an issue, help with light personal care, and attend appointments with your parent to make sure nothing gets missed. We also keep a close eye on how they're really doing, not just how they say they're doing, and we report back to you honestly. If something looks like a real problem, we flag it and talk through next steps together.
We can often start the same week as discharge, sometimes within days. We ask you to call us as soon as you know the discharge date, and we'll have a conversation about what your parent needs most in those first critical days. The sooner we talk, the sooner we can be there.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're transparent about cost from the start, and we work with families on what's realistic for their budget. Think of it as targeted support during the riskiest weeks, not a long-term care commitment.
Home health aides are typically ordered by doctors as part of skilled nursing and are covered by insurance, but they're designed for longer-term care and may not start immediately after discharge. Post-Hospital Care is what we provide to get you through those fragile first weeks safely, with someone who understands hospital discharge specifically. We're faster, more flexible, and we focus on the early risks.
Yes, we do. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what matters to them, and what would make you feel most confident. Then we match someone who fits, and we do an introduction before the first shift so everyone feels comfortable. If it's not the right fit, we work to make a change.
We have backup support, and we let you know as soon as we know there's a conflict. We don't just send a stranger without a heads-up. If you need continuity and we can't guarantee it on a particular day, we talk through options with you first. Your parent's safety and comfort come before anything else.
