Post-Hospital Care in Lebanon, 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 William W. Backus Hospital on a Tuesday, and by Thursday you realized she wasn’t taking her blood pressure medication at the right times. The discharge papers felt like they were written in another language, and she was terrified of falling in the hallway between her bedroom and the kitchen. You were working full time in Columbia, your brother was in Franklin, and nobody was there to catch these things. That’s the gap we fill.

Post-Hospital Care is hands-on support during the critical first weeks after someone comes home from the hospital. It’s not medical nursing, and it’s not full-time live-in care. It’s a caregiver in your home who understands discharge anxiety, knows what can go wrong in those early days, and stays alert for the things that slip through the cracks.
On a typical day, you’ll see a caregiver who helps with medication reminders at the right time, watches for falls risk, reminds about follow-up appointments, helps with light meals so nutrition doesn’t drop, and notices changes you might miss because you’re at work or managing from another town. They’re there to give you peace of mind and catch problems before they become emergencies.
Families in Lebanon and throughout New London County come to us because we know the William W. Backus Hospital discharge process inside out. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical picture and the emotional weight of bringing someone home who’s still recovering. That background shapes everything we do in Post-Hospital Care.
We’re not a staffing company that happens to do home care. Our founder is a nurse who lived through the discharge anxiety families feel. We know what to watch for in those first weeks, we know why medication errors happen at home, and we know how to spot falls risk before it becomes a crisis.
When you call, we listen to what your parent needs and who you trust. We brief our caregivers on the discharge papers, the specific medications, the neighborhood layout, and the personality fit. You get someone who understands the job and fits your family.
Post-Hospital Care isn’t set-it-and-forget-it. If your mom’s follow-up appointment gets moved, if you’re worried about a new symptom, or if the first caregiver isn’t the right fit, you reach us and we respond. We’re not a call center in another state.
We know Lebanon, Columbia, Franklin, Norwich, and Colchester. We understand William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge timing and what the first 72 hours typically look like. We’re not learning your town on the job.

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 your home for a few hours per day (the schedule you choose). They help with medication reminders at the right times, monitor for signs of falls or complications, remind about follow-up appointments, help prepare meals, do light tidying so the home is safe, and stay present to notice changes. They're not nurses doing medical tasks, but they're trained to spot what matters and call you or us if something shifts.
We can often start the same week your family member comes home, sometimes within days. We understand that the first week is when most problems happen, falls occur, and medication confusion peaks. When you call us, tell us the discharge date and we'll work to have a matched caregiver in place before or right after your loved one arrives home.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for approval or dealing with insurance timelines. That's actually an advantage, because you control when it starts and stops, and you're not bound by medical necessity rules. We can start immediately and adjust as your parent recovers. We're honest about cost, and we'll discuss rates upfront.
Home health aides come through medical agencies after a doctor's referral, and Medicare or insurance decides the plan. Post-Hospital Care is something you arrange directly with us, on your timeline and terms. We're also focused specifically on that critical post-discharge period, not ongoing long-term care. If you need a few weeks of daily support while your parent bounces back, Post-Hospital Care is the right fit.
Yes. We listen to what your parent is recovering from, who they're comfortable with, whether they need someone calm or more energetic, and what the home situation looks like. We then match a caregiver we've worked with and trust, brief them on the discharge plan, and make the introduction. It's not random, and we follow up to make sure the fit is working.
We have caregivers across New London County, so we can usually find a backup quickly if your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency. We'll call you right away, explain the situation, and offer an alternative. We won't leave you stranded, especially during those critical post-discharge weeks when consistency matters.
