Your mom came home from St. Vincent’s on a Tuesday, and by Thursday you realized she wasn’t taking her medications right.

Post-hospital care is the bridge between the hospital and your parent finding their footing at home again. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s not just companionship either. It’s someone in your home, trained and experienced, who watches for the problems that nobody warns you about, manages the medication schedule that feels overwhelming, and makes sure your parent actually makes it to follow-up appointments.
Day to day, you’ll see a caregiver who helps with the basics, reminds your parent about medications at the right times, tracks what they’re eating and drinking, watches for signs of a fall or infection, and helps you stay on top of doctor visits. We also handle the small anxiety that comes with those first weeks home, when everything feels fragile. A lot of families don’t realize how many medication errors happen in the first month, or how quickly a simple fall can set recovery back weeks.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge from the inside. We know the St. Vincent’s Medical Center process, we know Trumbull and Fairfield County, and we know exactly what your parent needs when they walk through their front door. Our founder built this service because she saw families struggling with the same gaps over and over.
Hospital discharge anxiety is real, and families often aren’t ready. We’ve been there. We understand falls risk in those first weeks, missed follow-up appointments, and the medication errors that happen when your parent is managing bottles alone for the first time. Our caregivers are trained to spot these problems before they become crises.
We don’t just send someone to your home. We brief every caregiver thoroughly on your parent’s discharge plan, any restrictions, medications, and what matters most to your family. We match based on experience and personality because the right fit changes everything in those early weeks.
Post-hospital care is unpredictable. A new symptom appears, a follow-up appointment gets moved, a medication gets changed. You can reach us directly, and we adjust quickly without a bureaucratic process.
We know St. Vincent’s discharge process, we know Trumbull neighborhoods, and we know the local doctors and follow-up care your parent will need. Being local means faster response and caregivers who understand the 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.
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
A caregiver arrives at a time that works for your family and helps with personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and mobility support. They watch for signs of infection, falls, confusion, or other problems that develop after discharge. They also help coordinate transportation to appointments and communicate with you and your parent's doctor about how recovery is going. It's presence and attention during the hours we're scheduled, not 24-hour monitoring.
We can often start within 24-48 hours of discharge if you call us early. The best time to reach out is actually before your parent leaves the hospital, so we have time to get the discharge papers, brief a caregiver, and coordinate the first visit. If discharge happens suddenly, we'll do our best to accommodate, but earlier notice gives us time to match the right person.
Post-hospital care is private pay, meaning you're paying out of pocket. Medicare covers skilled nursing for a limited time after hospitalization, and we work alongside that care if it's in place. We're here for the gap that Medicare doesn't cover, which is most of the first few weeks. We can discuss rates and what's realistic for your budget.
Home health aides are typically sent by an agency and are focused on activities of daily living. Post-hospital care is specialized around the discharge period, medication management, fall prevention, and close communication with doctors. Our caregivers are trained specifically to recognize problems that pop up after hospitalization and to keep you informed. We're also typically more flexible about scheduling and direct communication.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, mobility, any mobility aids they use, dietary needs, medication schedule, and what's most important to your family. We then match a caregiver with experience in similar situations. If something isn't working after the first visit or two, we adjust. Your parent shouldn't have a stranger walking in without a plan.
We maintain backup coverage for our clients. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we notify you as soon as we know and send a trained replacement who is briefed on your parent's needs and routine. We don't cancel visits last minute. If for any reason we can't cover a shift, we let you know immediately so you can plan.
