Post-Hospital Care is what happens after the hospital lets you go home, when you’re still learning how to manage everything that comes next. It’s a caregiver in your Rocky Hill home who watches for falls, helps with medications, makes sure follow-up appointments actually happen, and catches the small things before they become big problems.
On any given day, your caregiver might help your parent get moving safely after bed rest, set up medications in the right order, make a meal that doesn’t require you to worry they’ll forget to eat, drive to that cardiology appointment across Hartford County, and keep a careful eye out for signs of infection or confusion. It’s someone present in the house during those hours when most families are back at work, unable to be there themselves.
If you’re coming home from Hartford Hospital, you’re leaving a place where nurses were there to catch mistakes. At home, that responsibility shifts to you. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand that hospital discharge anxiety is real, not something families just need to get over. We build a bridge between the hospital’s care and your family’s ability to manage at home.
Being nurse-founded means we’ve seen families leave Hartford Hospital feeling overwhelmed and unprepared, even when they think they understand the instructions. We know the falls risk is highest in those first two weeks, that medication errors happen to careful people, and that sometimes a family just isn’t ready to manage alone yet. That’s not failure. That’s when you call us.
Before your caregiver shows up in Rocky Hill, we sit with your family and learn what you’re actually worried about. We match based on experience, not just availability. If your parent needs someone who understands cardiac recovery and lives in a neighborhood where they know the streets, we build that match.
Post-Hospital Care isn’t one fixed plan. Swelling in the legs. A fever that might be nothing. A missed dose because of confusion. When you call us, someone who knows your situation answers. We adjust quickly because we’ve done this hundreds of times.
We know the Hartford Hospital discharge process, the providers families rely on in Rocky Hill, and the neighborhoods where our caregivers live. We’re not coordinating your care from a call center two states away. We’re here, and we understand what home looks like in this community.

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.

Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver helps with safe mobility and fall prevention, manages medications including organizing pills and reminding about timing, prepares meals and monitors eating, drives to follow-up appointments, watches for signs of infection or other problems, keeps the house organized, and stays in touch with you about how things are going. They're there during the hours when your family can't be, doing the work that keeps a safe routine in place. It's not nursing care, but it's the support that makes nursing care actually work.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if that's what your family needs. The sooner we match a caregiver to your situation, the sooner you stop trying to manage everything alone. We coordinate directly with Hartford Hospital discharge planners in Rocky Hill to make the handoff smooth. If you know discharge is coming, call us before your parent leaves the hospital so we're ready.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. This actually gives you flexibility, because we're not limited by what insurance approves. You pay for the hours you need. Many families start with full-time support for the first two weeks, then shift to part-time as confidence builds. We can talk through what makes sense for your budget and your parent's situation.
Home health aides are ordered by a doctor and covered by Medicare, but they're usually short-term and focused on specific tasks like bathing. Post-Hospital Care is what fills the gap when your parent comes home and nobody's watching except you. It's flexible, longer-term if needed, and it's about preventing falls and mistakes in those fragile first weeks. Think of it as safety and support when the medical part is actually stable.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent's personality, what makes them anxious, whether they're someone who needs a lot of reassurance or someone who wants independence, and what neighborhoods and routines matter to them. We also match based on experience with specific conditions. If your parent is recovering from surgery and needs someone who understands pain management and wound awareness, we build that match. It takes a few days to get it right, but it matters.
We have backup caregivers in Rocky Hill who know your family's situation and can step in. We don't leave families scrambling on the day someone calls in sick. You get a call from us first, usually with someone you've already met or who's been briefed thoroughly on what your parent needs. Continuity matters during recovery, so we work hard to keep the same person in place, but we're prepared if that's not possible.
