Post-Hospital Care is hands-on support during those first weeks home when everything feels uncertain. We’re there to help your parent settle back into their routine, take medications on time, manage the small tasks that feel big right now, and catch problems before they become emergencies.
On a typical day, that means medication reminders and management, help with personal care and meals, monitoring for signs of infection or setback, keeping track of follow-up appointments, and being present so you can step back and breathe. We also watch for falls, watch for confusion or mood changes, and help your parent move safely through their home.
We started this work because we’re nurses. We’ve seen what happens when families leave the hospital without the right support, and we’ve seen how quickly small things turn into big problems. If your parent is being discharged from Stamford Hospital, we know that process and we know what to watch for.
We’ve lived through this work and we know what you’re actually worried about: missed medications, falls in the bathroom, not knowing if something is normal or an emergency. That’s not abstract to us, it’s what we build our care around.
We don’t send someone on the first day without understanding your parent’s medications, their routine, their fears, and what matters to them. We show up prepared, and we stay in regular contact so you always know what’s happening.
If your caregiver gets sick or something unexpected happens, we don’t disappear. We’re local, we answer the phone, and we solve the problem so your parent’s care doesn’t stop.
We’re based here. We work with Stamford Hospital regularly, we know the local follow-up providers, and we understand the rhythms of care in this county. That knowledge matters when your parent needs support fast.
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.

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
It depends on your parent's discharge plan, but usually it includes medication reminders and setup, help with meals and bathing if needed, light housekeeping to keep things safe, monitoring their recovery, and being the person who notices if something is off. We also help them get to follow-up appointments, manage any equipment they're using at home, and answer questions that come up. Most importantly, we're there so you don't have to guess whether something is normal or worth worrying about.
We can usually start within 24 hours of a discharge. We ask for your parent's discharge paperwork as soon as possible so we can review medications, restrictions, and the care plan. If you need care on the day of discharge or the evening before, let us know and we'll find a way to help. The faster we start, the safer those first days are.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. We're not a medical home health agency, so insurance typically doesn't cover us. What we offer is something different: we fill the gap between hospital discharge and when someone is ready to be fully independent again. Many families find that the peace of mind is worth the investment, especially for those first few weeks when the risk of setback is real.
Home health aides are medical services covered by insurance after a hospital stay, but they're short-term and usually end quickly. Post-Hospital Care is different. We stay as long as your parent needs support, we're available right away, and we're designed specifically for that fragile time after discharge. Some families use both, and we can coordinate with your parent's medical team.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, their routines, their medical history, and what they need to feel safe and respected. We don't just send whoever is available. We match based on fit, and we make sure the caregiver is trained in post-hospital recovery specifically. If the match isn't right, we adjust.
We cover it. We have caregivers in our network across Stamford and Fairfield County, and we prioritize continuity. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we find someone trained and briefed on your parent's situation. We don't cancel care or leave you scrambling.
