Post-Hospital Care is the bridge between hospital and home. When someone’s discharged from Windham Hospital or another facility, the first weeks at home are the riskiest. We’re there to help your family navigate medication schedules, watch for signs of trouble, and make sure follow-up appointments actually happen. It’s not full-time nursing, and it’s not just general caregiving. It’s specific, short-term support designed exactly for this moment.
On a typical day, you’ll see us checking in on medication timing, helping with wound care if needed, watching for falls, keeping track of appointments, and flagging anything that doesn’t seem right to the doctor. We help your family understand what the discharge papers actually mean. We remind your parent about PT appointments. We catch the early signs of infection or confusion that families sometimes miss when they’re exhausted and scared.
Windham Hospital discharges happen fast, and families often feel rushed. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital anxiety from the inside. We know what discharge planners are thinking, what red flags matter, and how to talk to doctors. Being local to Windham County means we know your hospital’s process, we coordinate easily with your parent’s providers, and we show up when we say we will.
Hospital discharge feels sudden, even when you’ve been expecting it. We’ve lived this ourselves. We understand why families aren’t ready, why medication errors happen at home, and why falls happen in that first fragile week. We don’t judge the panic. We just help.
We don’t send a stranger to your door. Before anyone arrives, we know your parent’s history, their fears, their medications, what the doctor said to watch for. We match carefully. And we stay available to adjust as things change, because Post-Hospital Care isn’t one-size-fits-all.
If your parent has a setback or something feels off, you can reach us. We coordinate with their doctor. We help figure out if it’s normal healing or something that needs attention. You’re not alone figuring it out at 2 a.m.
We’re local to Windham County. We understand how Windham Hospital discharges work. We know the community providers, we pick up on local needs, and we show up in person. That matters when time is short and trust is everything.

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 manage medications, watch for falls and warning signs, assist with wound care if ordered, make sure appointments are kept, and communicate with doctors if something changes. We're there to catch medication errors before they become problems. We help your family understand what the discharge paperwork means. We remind about physical therapy, watch for confusion or infection, and flag anything that feels off. Essentially, we're the safety net for those first critical weeks.
We can often start the same day discharge happens, or within 24 hours. When you call, we ask about your parent's medications, their discharge instructions, and what worries you most. We brief our caregiver fully before they arrive. If you need coverage right away, we prioritize getting someone there who understands the urgency and knows what to watch for.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay. Insurance and Medicare typically cover skilled nursing or home health aide services, not private caregiving. We're honest about that upfront. Many families find that a few weeks of Post-Hospital Care prevents bigger problems, hospital readmission, or medication errors that would cost far more. We can discuss what makes sense for your situation.
Home health aides work under a nurse's orders and are often covered by insurance, but they're focused on activities of daily living like bathing and dressing. Post-Hospital Care is private pay and focused on the specific risks of early discharge: medication management, fall prevention, watching for infection or complications, and keeping appointments. We're trained to recognize what might be wrong and communicate with doctors. The timing and focus are completely different.
Yes. We listen to what matters most. Does your parent feel safer with someone calm and quiet, or someone who talks and keeps them engaged? Do they need someone with experience managing confusion, wound care, or mobility issues? Are there cultural or language preferences? We match carefully because the right fit means your parent actually cooperates, and you sleep better at night.
We don't leave you without coverage. We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We let you know immediately if there's any change, and we brief the backup fully on your parent's situation, medications, and what matters. Continuity is important in Post-Hospital Care, but we make sure you never face a gap.
