Post-Hospital Care in Windsor, CT
In-home support after a hospital discharge — medication reminders, meals, mobility help, and follow-up care for seniors returning home.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
You get the call from Hartford Hospital that your parent is being discharged tomorrow, and your stomach drops. You live in Bloomfield, they’re in Windsor near the Addison Senior Center, and you don’t know how you’re going to manage the first weeks home alone, keep track of all those new medications, or catch a fall before it happens. That feeling of not being ready is exactly what we’ve seen, and it’s exactly what post-hospital care is for.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Post-hospital care is the bridge between leaving the hospital and getting back to normal. It’s having someone in your home who watches for the warning signs everyone misses in those first few weeks, keeps medication organized and on time, makes sure follow-up appointments actually happen, and catches falls or changes before they become emergencies.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with the basics of getting around safely at home, reminds you about medications and meals, checks in on how you’re healing, accompanies you to doctor visits, and answers the small questions that come up at 3 p.m. on a Thursday when you’re not sure if something is normal. They’re there so you don’t have to white-knuckle it alone.
In Windsor, many families discharge from Hartford Hospital without enough support to stay safe those first weeks home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what the hospital staff saw and what they didn’t have time to teach you. That knowledge shapes how we match you with someone who can actually recognize what matters.
Hospital discharge is terrifying even when it goes well. You’re sent home with a stack of instructions, new meds, and no plan for the next three weeks when falls happen and you skip doses because nobody reminded you. We’ve been there, and we know the specific gaps that need filling.
We don’t send someone generic. We learn what Hartford Hospital’s discharge note actually means for your home, what your parent’s habits are, and what scares you most. Then we match you with someone who knows post-hospital recovery, not just general caregiving.
Your parent’s fever spikes on a Saturday. The physical therapist says they need more help with stairs than expected. You need us to pivot, and we do, without a waiting list or a voicemail that returns your call tomorrow.
We work with Hartford Hospital’s discharge process regularly and we know Windsor’s neighborhoods, where people live, and what resources are nearby. That local knowledge means faster, smarter care.

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
Your caregiver arrives at a time that works for you, helps with mobility and personal care as needed, prepares meals and reminds you to eat, manages your medications and records them, accompanies you to follow-up appointments, watches for signs of infection or complications, and reports back to you and your doctor about how recovery is going. If something changes, we communicate with you right away.
We can often start the same day or within 24 hours of discharge if you call us before you leave the hospital. That means your caregiver can be there when you get home, or early the next morning. We coordinate directly with Hartford Hospital's discharge planners when possible to make the handoff smooth.
Post-hospital care through us is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approval or fighting coverage limits. That gives us the flexibility to start fast and stay as long as you need. We're upfront about costs, and we can discuss what weeks or months of support look like for your situation.
Home health aides come through medical agencies, often managed by insurance or Medicare, with shorter visits and less flexibility. Post-hospital care is built specifically for those first weeks home, with longer, more consistent support and a caregiver who understands hospital discharge recovery. We focus on the gaps that matter most during that vulnerable window.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, their fears, what they do every day, and what kind of person they'll trust in their home. We also build in a trial period so you know the match is right before we commit long-term. If it's not working, we adjust.
We have backup caregivers ready, and we let you know as soon as we know there's a change. We don't leave you scrambling on a Thursday morning. Our local network in Hartford County means we can usually find someone who knows the area and can step in quickly.
