Post-Hospital Care is about being there in those first weeks after discharge when everything feels fragile. You’re managing new medications, new restrictions, and the fear that something will go wrong when you’re not in the room. We show up to handle the practical stuff so you can actually breathe.
On a typical day, we help with medication reminders so doses don’t get skipped or doubled. We watch for falls, make sure your parent gets to follow-up appointments, and keep an eye on things like wound care or mobility issues. We’re also the extra set of eyes that catches when something’s changed, so small problems don’t become emergencies.
Families in Salem coming home from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital often feel caught between relief and panic. We were founded by a nurse who lived this exact tension, and that means we understand the discharge anxiety, the gaps in what you’re told to watch for, and the mistakes that happen when everyone’s tired. Being local to New London County, we know the hospital’s process and your neighborhood’s layout.
Our founder was a nurse watching families leave the hospital unprepared and scared. We’re built to catch the things that slip through, like missed medication doses, falls in the first two weeks, or appointments that don’t happen because your parent is too tired to drive. We start from the truth that you’re not ready yet, and that’s okay.
We don’t assign a caregiver and hope it works. We brief them on your parent’s actual situation, their fears, their medication list, and what safety looks like in your home. Then we’re in Salem with you, not somewhere else, adjusting as things change.
Post-Hospital Care isn’t a fixed plan that never bends. When your parent’s energy drops or a new symptom shows up, you can call us and we adjust. We stay reachable because discharge recovery is unpredictable.
We work regularly with families going through this hospital’s discharge and know how their system works, what paperwork matters, and which follow-up calls typically slip. Being here in New London County, we’re familiar with the gaps they leave behind.

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 help your parent take medications on time and in the right amounts. We watch for falls and make sure they're moving safely around the house. We make sure follow-up appointments with their doctor happen and that your parent gets there. We keep track of how they're healing, what pain or swelling might mean something, and we're the person who notices when something feels off. We also handle the small things that prevent bigger problems, like making sure they're eating and staying hydrated.
We can often start the same day or within 24 hours of discharge if you call us early. The sooner we connect, the sooner we can prevent the common mistakes that happen in those first days home. We ask that you give us the discharge paperwork or a call with the basics so we can brief your caregiver before they walk in. We understand the discharge happens fast and you need someone there fast.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approval and we're not limited by what Medicare decides to fund. We charge an hourly rate and you control the schedule and the caregiver. This also means we can stay flexible about what you actually need instead of only doing what an insurance company allows.
Home health aides come through a medical agency after your doctor orders it, and Medicare or insurance pays. Post-Hospital Care is private and starts when you need it, not when paperwork approves it. Our caregivers are trained specifically for the first weeks home, watching for medication errors and fall risks, and they stay involved even after you might technically be healed. We're faster and more flexible.
Yes. We listen to what your parent needs, who they're comfortable with, and what worries you most. We match a caregiver with experience in exactly those things, then we brief them on your parent's medications, mobility, fears, and the specific things to watch for. We don't just send someone; we send someone ready.
We have backup caregivers in Salem who know our standards and process. We call them before we call you so there's no gap in coverage. If the absence is last-minute, we let you know immediately and get someone to your home as fast as we can. We don't leave you without support during the recovery weeks when you need it most.
