No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom came home from Day Kimball Hospital on a Tuesday, and by Thursday morning you realized she hadn’t taken her blood pressure medication.

That first week home, when the hospital feels suddenly far away and you’re terrified something will go wrong, is exactly when you need someone who gets it.

Post-Hospital Care is practical support for the first weeks after hospital discharge, when your parent or family member is finding their footing at home again. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s the daily help that keeps small problems from becoming big ones. You get a caregiver who knows what to watch for, who’s there to help with medications, meals, movement, and the appointments that keep piling up.
On any given day, this looks like helping your parent get dressed and eat, making sure medications are taken on time and in the right order, keeping the house safe so a fall doesn’t happen, and getting them to follow-up appointments that can’t be missed. It’s also someone noticing when they’re more tired than yesterday, or when they’re not eating, or when they need to call the doctor. It’s a second set of eyes and hands during the weeks when hospital discharge anxiety is real and your family isn’t ready to manage alone.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the discharge process from Day Kimball Hospital and what families actually need when they come home. That background shapes everything we do, Post-Hospital Care included. We know the difference between what looks like normal recovery and what needs attention, and we know how to talk to hospitals and doctors when questions come up.
Our founders are nurses. We know hospital discharge anxiety, the family not ready to manage alone, the falls risk that peaks in the first two weeks home, and the medication errors that happen when discharge instructions are confusing. We see what hospitals can’t see, and we catch things early.
We don’t send whoever is available. We listen to what your parent needs, who they’ll trust, and what matters to your family. Then we match someone with the experience and temperament to actually help, and we brief them fully on medications, fall risk, and what to watch for.
Post-Hospital Care needs can shift fast. We’re available to adjust schedules, answer questions, and pivot if your parent’s recovery isn’t tracking the way everyone expected. You don’t call a phone tree. You reach us.
We know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process, we know the Killingly neighborhoods and nearby towns, and we know the doctors and specialists your parent is seeing. That local knowledge matters when you need quick decisions.

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
A caregiver comes to help your parent with dressing, bathing, meals, and movement around the house. They manage medications according to the discharge instructions, keep the house safe to prevent falls, and make sure follow-up appointments get marked on the calendar and actually happen. They watch for signs of infection, bleeding, confusion, or pain that might mean a call to the doctor. They're there to listen and reassure during the anxiety that comes with being home again.
We can start within 24 hours of discharge if you contact us right away. We've worked with Day Kimball Hospital families enough to know that the first few days home are when you most need support. If you call us before discharge, we can have a caregiver ready to meet your parent at home. If discharge happens on the weekend, we work to get someone there as soon as possible.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and medical home health, but not the daily living support and medication management we provide. We're honest about this upfront. Many families find that paying out of pocket for the first few weeks home is far less expensive than a hospital readmission or a fall that requires emergency care.
Home health aides work under a medical plan ordered by a doctor and are often covered by insurance. Post-Hospital Care is private pay and doesn't require a medical order. We can start faster, stay flexible with your family's changing needs, and we focus on the transition weeks when your parent is most vulnerable. If your parent qualifies for home health through their insurance, we can work alongside those services.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they need help with, whether they prefer a male or female caregiver, and what matters most to your family. We're not a staffing agency. We match people thoughtfully and brief our caregivers fully before they arrive. If the match isn't right, we make a change.
We have backup caregivers who know your parent's situation and can step in. We don't leave families stranded. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call you with a backup plan before your scheduled time. It's one reason we stay smaller and local, so we can actually manage this without letting you down.
