You drove home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital with your mom in the passenger seat, relief mixed with a knot in your stomach. The discharge papers said she was ready, but you knew better.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Post-Hospital Care isn’t medical nursing. It’s the practical support that happens in the first weeks after someone comes home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or another facility. We’re there to help your parent or family member adjust to being home again, to catch the things that slip through the cracks, and to make sure the transition from hospital to home actually sticks.
On a typical day, we help with medication reminders so doses don’t get missed, we watch for falls and help your family understand fall risk in those vulnerable first weeks, we make sure follow-up appointments get written down and your parent actually goes, and we’re there to spot infections, confusion, or other warning signs that need a call to the doctor. We also help with basic tasks around the house so your family can focus on recovery instead of scrambling.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge from the inside. We know what Charlotte Hungerford Hospital sends home with you, what questions families should ask but don’t always, and what the real risks are in that first month. Being local to Morris and Litchfield County, we know the discharge process, we know the doctors, and we can move fast when families need us.
We know the anxiety of bringing someone home after hospitalization. We know that discharge papers feel like instructions for a language you don’t speak, and that falls happen fastest in those first three weeks. Because we’ve been on the hospital side, we watch for the things families miss and we catch medication errors before they become emergencies.
We don’t send the first available person. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific needs, their hospital discharge summary, their fears, and their routines. You get someone who knows what they’re walking into and who’s been chosen for your situation, not just availability.
Post-Hospital Care situations change fast. A fever appears, an appointment gets rescheduled, or your parent has a fall you didn’t see. We’re here to take your call, adjust quickly, and make sure you’re not managing a crisis alone at midnight.
We know the discharge protocols at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. We know the neighborhoods of Morris and the routes to follow-up appointments. Being local means we show up fast, we understand your community, and we’re connected to the doctors and facilities your parent will see next.

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
We help with medication management so doses get taken on time and in the right order. We watch for falls and help your parent move safely around the house. We make sure follow-up appointments are marked down and your parent gets there. We spot warning signs like fever, confusion, or pain that might mean a call to the doctor. We also help with light household tasks so your family isn't stretched thin while managing recovery.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us before or right after your parent leaves the hospital. If you're already home and realizing you need help, we move fast to get someone matched and in your house. The sooner you call, the sooner we can prevent the mistakes and falls that happen in those first vulnerable days.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket for the service. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing and home health services ordered by a doctor, but those are different from what we provide. We recommend checking with your insurance about what they cover and discussing those options with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital's discharge planner. We're here for the gap in between.
Home health aides provide personal care like bathing and dressing under a doctor's orders, usually covered by insurance or Medicare. Post-Hospital Care focuses on the transition back home, medication safety, fall prevention, and making sure follow-up appointments happen. We're also available on shorter notice and can adjust quickly if your needs change. Some families use both services, but Post-Hospital Care is specifically built for those first critical weeks after hospital discharge.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's medical history, what happened in the hospital, their personality, their home setup, and what worries you most. Then we match a caregiver who fits that picture, not just someone with an open schedule. We brief them fully before they arrive so there's no fumbling or starting from scratch. You get continuity and someone who actually knows what they're walking into.
We have a network of caregivers in Morris and Litchfield County so we can find a backup quickly if your regular caregiver gets sick or has an emergency. We let you know as soon as we're aware of a change. We never leave a family without coverage during those first critical weeks after hospital discharge, and we keep your replacement caregiver briefed on your parent's specific needs.
