Post-Hospital Care in East Hampton, 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 came home from Middlesex Hospital last Thursday, and by Saturday morning you realized she hadn’t taken her blood pressure medication. Your brother, visiting from out of state, noticed she was moving slower around the kitchen than before surgery. You’re texting with your sister about whether someone should stay over, but nobody lives close enough. This is the moment when Post-Hospital Care becomes a lifeline, not a luxury.

Post-Hospital Care is hands-on support during those first weeks after your family member leaves the hospital. It’s a caregiver in your East Hampton home, watching for falls, managing medications on schedule, making sure appointments actually happen, and catching small changes before they become big problems. You’re not alone with discharge papers and worry.
Day to day, this might look like a caregiver helping your parent get dressed safely, preparing meals they’ll actually eat, keeping a written log of medications and times, driving to follow-up appointments, and staying alert for signs of infection or confusion. We answer questions without judgment. We notice when something feels off. We report back to you and the doctor.
Families leaving Middlesex Hospital often feel unprepared, even when the discharge nurse explained everything twice. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what hospitals don’t tell you: the real risk happens at home, in the shower, at 2 a.m., or when your parent insists they don’t need help. That clinical experience guides every caregiver we send into East Hampton homes.
We’ve been nurses. We know the gap between what hospitals promise you’ll manage and what actually happens when you’re home alone. Post-Hospital Care with us means someone experienced is there to catch the falls risk, prevent medication errors, and handle the moments when your family member isn’t ready to do what the doctor said. You can breathe.
We don’t send a stranger and hope. We listen to what matters: your parent’s personality, mobility level, the specific things they’re anxious about, their daily routine. We match carefully and stay flexible if it’s not the right fit. A good match makes all the difference in Post-Hospital Care, and we take that seriously.
Post-Hospital Care isn’t static. Your parent might recover faster than expected, or a complication might surface. You call us, we listen, and we adjust. No bureaucracy, no waiting for the next review meeting. We’re here when you need something different.
We know the Middlesex Hospital discharge process, the clinics families use in East Hampton and Middletown, the roads and neighborhoods. We’re not a national service parachuting in. We’re from here, and we know what recovery looks like in this 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
It depends on your family member's needs, but typically includes help with personal care (bathing, dressing, toileting), medication reminders and management, meal preparation, light housekeeping, assistance with mobility and fall prevention, and transportation to medical appointments. Our caregiver also watches for signs of infection, confusion, or other changes, and communicates with you and the doctor. We keep a log of medications taken, vital signs if needed, and any concerns that come up.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, sometimes sooner if you call us before your family member leaves the hospital. The faster we get involved, the faster we can prevent falls, medication errors, and missed appointments. If you're being discharged on a Friday, we can arrange a caregiver to be there Monday morning, or even that weekend if needed. Call us as soon as you know a discharge date.
Post-Hospital Care through us is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approval or fighting coverage denials while your parent is home and vulnerable. Medicare and most insurance cover skilled nursing and home health aide services, which are different from what we provide. We recommend checking your policy, but many families find that paying privately for the first few weeks of Post-Hospital Care is worth the peace of mind and immediate availability. We're transparent about cost from the start.
Home health aides are typically sent by an agency under a doctor's order and are covered by insurance, but availability can be limited and they may not start until days or weeks after discharge. Post-Hospital Care is what we provide: we start immediately, we're matched specifically to your situation, we're experienced with the early discharge risks (falls, medication errors, missed appointments), and we stay flexible as your family member recovers. Think of it as intensive, experienced support during the most vulnerable weeks.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, mobility, medical history, what makes them anxious, what they enjoy, and what they need help with. We listen to your concerns and the doctor's orders. Then we find a caregiver whose experience and temperament are a real match, not just someone available. If it's not working after a few days, we adjust. Good matching is the foundation of good Post-Hospital Care.
We have backup coverage. We don't leave you stranded. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we find a replacement quickly, or we adjust the schedule. You'll know in advance if there's any change. We understand that consistency matters in Post-Hospital Care, especially in those early weeks, so we work hard to keep the same caregiver with your family member. But we also know life happens, and we have a plan.
