Post-Hospital Care is hands-on support during the weeks right after someone comes home from the hospital. It’s not nursing, and it’s not full-time caregiving. It’s that bridge where your parent or spouse is still figuring out how to move safely again, medications are a puzzle, and you’re terrified something will go wrong because they’re not ready yet, and honestly, neither are you.
On a typical day, we help with medication reminders and organization so nothing gets missed or doubled up. We watch for falls during those first walks around the house. We help you get to follow-up appointments, make sure discharge instructions actually happen, and catch the small changes that signal something’s off. We’re also the person who notices your parent isn’t eating much, or that they’re in pain but not saying anything, and we tell you.
Farmington families trust us because we know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process inside out, and we live right here in Hartford County. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what “stable” really looks like, what’s normal recovery, and what needs a doctor’s attention. That background changes how we show up in your home those first critical weeks.
Our founder spent years in hospital settings. We understand the anxiety families feel when discharge papers go home but the person is still fragile. We catch medication errors, watch for falls, and make sure follow-up appointments actually happen because we’ve seen what happens when they don’t.
We spend time understanding what your parent needs and who they’ll trust. The same person shows up, knows their routine, and builds real familiarity. That consistency matters more in the first few weeks home than anywhere else.
Post-Hospital Care isn’t predictable. Medications get adjusted, pain flares, mood shifts. You can call us when something feels off, and we listen like we’re standing in your kitchen because we understand what you’re actually worried about.
We’re not a national franchise. We know the Farmington area, know the doctors at Hartford Hospital, know the neighborhoods and how to get places quickly. That matters when you need someone reliable right now.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Post-Hospital Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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 helps your parent with medication reminders, watches for falls when they're moving around, and supports daily routines like bathing or dressing if they need it. We make sure follow-up appointments are marked on a calendar and they actually happen. We observe for changes, pain, confusion, or anything that doesn't feel right, and we tell you immediately. It's part safety net, part eyes and ears, part company during a vulnerable time.
We can often start the same day your parent comes home or the next morning. We ask for their discharge paperwork and medication list ahead of time so we're ready. The first visit is longer because we're learning their home, their setup, their medications, and how they're actually doing versus what the hospital notes say. Speed matters in those first days, and we treat it that way.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance won't cover this level of support because it's not skilled nursing. What you're paying for is someone who understands hospital discharge, who can stay longer than a nurse visit allows, and who's focused on safety and follow-through during those first critical weeks. Many families find it's worth the cost to avoid medication errors, falls, or missed appointments.
Home health aides work under a nurse's direction and are usually ordered by a doctor for specific medical care. Post-Hospital Care is what we offer when your parent is medically stable but not actually ready yet, and the formal home health benefits have run out or weren't available to begin with. We focus on safety, medication management, fall prevention, and making sure follow-up happens. We're more flexible and can adjust as your parent recovers.
Yes. We spend time understanding what matters. Does your parent need someone calm and quiet, or someone talkative? Do they have mobility issues, pain, memory concerns? Are there cultural or language preferences? We don't just send whoever's available next. We match thoughtfully because the relationship between your parent and their caregiver changes everything about how safe and supported they feel.
We always have backup, and we call you first to let you know about any change. We try hard to keep the same person because continuity matters, especially in those fragile weeks. But we also understand that life happens, and we make sure someone trusted is there when you need it. We don't leave gaps.
