Post-Hospital Care is nursing support that starts the moment you get home from the hospital. It’s not a long-term arrangement, most of the time. It’s the bridge between ‘discharged’ and ‘ready to manage at home alone.’ We watch for medication mix-ups, make sure you get to follow-up appointments, and catch small problems before they turn into another hospital trip.
On a typical day, your caregiver arrives during the window you need them most, checks your medications against the discharge list, reminds you of upcoming appointments, helps you move safely around the house, and watches for fever, confusion, or unusual pain. They’re also your second set of eyes. Sometimes a family member is too close to notice that something’s changed. Our caregivers can see it.
If you just came home from St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Fairfield County, you’re in our neighborhood. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge anxiety because we lived it ourselves. We know the St. Vincent’s discharge process, and we know Monroe. That matters when you need someone who speaks both the medical language and yours.
Our founder was a hospital nurse. She saw families sent home unprepared, caregivers overwhelmed, medications mixed up in the first week. Post-Hospital Care exists because that happened to her family too. We don’t rush through those first fragile weeks.
We don’t send a stranger and hope it works. We talk with you first, learn what your parent needs most, and match a caregiver who fits your household. In Post-Hospital Care, those early days set the tone. We get it right from the start.
Fevers happen. Appointments get rescheduled. Pain shows up that wasn’t there yesterday. You can reach us. We adjust. Post-Hospital Care isn’t scripted, and we don’t pretend it is.
We know Monroe’s streets, we know St. Vincent’s Medical Center’s discharge patterns, and we know the clinics and follow-up offices you’ll be visiting. We’re local. We’re here when you need us, not somewhere far away.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Post-Hospital Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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
We arrive during the hours you need us most. We review your medications against your discharge paperwork and help you set up a system that works. We remind you of follow-up appointments and help you get ready to go. We watch how you're moving, eating, and sleeping, and we let you know if something feels off. We listen. We answer questions. We keep a log so your doctor has a picture of how you're doing at home.
We can usually start the same day you arrive home, if you call us before discharge. We've worked with St. Vincent's long enough to know their timeline. If you're already home and calling us, we move fast. Give us a call and tell us when you need someone. Most families we serve are set up within 24 to 48 hours.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. We're not part of the home health benefit structure, and that actually works in your favor. We can start immediately, customize your schedule, and stay as long as you need without paperwork delays. We can talk you through costs when you call, and we're honest about what this service costs.
Home health aides provide personal care and are usually part of a Medicare or insurance plan after hospitalization. Post-Hospital Care is more flexible and faster to arrange. We focus on the transition home, medication safety, fall prevention, and appointment follow-through. If you need both, we can work alongside your home health team. If you just need the bridge, that's what we do.
Yes. We ask questions first. Do they need someone quiet or someone who talks? Are they worried about falling? Do they have memory concerns around medications? Have they had a stroke or surgery that requires specific handling? We listen, and we match thoughtfully. In Monroe, we have caregivers who know the neighborhoods, the hospitals, and the rhythm of the community.
We let you know as soon as we know. We find a backup from our team. We brief them on your parent's routine and needs. We make sure there's continuity. Post-Hospital Care is too important to leave empty. If something comes up, we handle it.
