Your mom came home from Waterbury Hospital on a Tuesday, and by Thursday morning you realized she hadn’t taken her blood pressure medication.

Post-Hospital Care is support that starts the moment your family member walks through the front door after a hospital stay. It’s not medical nursing, and it’s not just company. It’s a caregiver who knows what discharge anxiety looks like, who watches for falls when someone’s still weak, who helps you actually remember and take medications on time, and who makes sure you get to follow-up appointments.
Day to day, you’ll see someone who checks in on mobility and safety around the house, helps with the first weeks of reduced independence, sits with your parent during that adjustment period when they’re still scared, and catches things before they become problems. We watch for medication confusion, keep track of appointments your doctor scheduled, and stay alert to changes that might mean a call back to Waterbury Hospital isn’t needed because we caught it early.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge from the inside. We know how Waterbury Hospital sends people home, what they expect families to handle, and where most families actually stumble. Being local to Woodbury and Litchfield County means we know the doctors, the follow-up clinics, and we can move fast if something changes.
Our founder spent years in hospital nursing, watching families leave with three pages of instructions and no real safety net. We built this service around what actually keeps people safe those first weeks home, not what looks good on paper. Falls, medication errors, missed appointments, families frozen because they weren’t ready, a parent who’s afraid to be alone, a sibling texting from out of state asking if everything’s okay. We see it all, and we know how to calm it down.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to what your family actually needs, we match for personality and experience, and we brief that caregiver fully on your parent’s discharge plan, medications, fall risks, and doctor’s orders. You get continuity, not a rotating schedule of strangers.
Hospital discharge plans shift. Medications change. Your parent’s confidence grows or dips unexpectedly. You can call us when something feels off, and we listen like we’ve been there, because we have. No voicemail trees, no waiting for a callback.
We know the area, we know Waterbury Hospital’s discharge process, and we’re here. Not a national franchise sending you a distant coordinator. We’re the people who understand what it means to come home in Woodbury right now.

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.

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 comes to your home for a few hours or more, depending on what you need. They help with breakfast, medications, getting dressed safely. They watch for falls, keep an eye on how your parent is moving around, and take note of anything that seems off. They help organize follow-up appointments, drive to them if needed, and check that your parent actually takes their prescriptions the way the hospital said to. They're also there so your family isn't managing everything alone in that scary first month home.
We can often start the same day or the next morning if you call us before discharge. If you're already home and realize you need help, call right away and we'll move fast to get someone matched and briefed on your situation. The sooner we're in the picture, the safer those first weeks are.
Post-Hospital Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approval or fighting with billing. It also means there's no limit to how long we can support you, no paperwork gatekeeping. We're straightforward about cost and flexible about schedule so families can get what they actually need, not what insurance decides they should have.
Home health aides are typically sent by medical agencies for specific medical orders, and Medicare or insurance has to approve them. Post-Hospital Care is what we do when your family needs someone right now, without waiting, who understands the emotional and practical chaos of discharge and can move into your home fast. We're not writing medical notes for billing purposes. We're focused on keeping your parent safe and your family sane.
Yes. We listen to what your parent is like, what your family's rhythm is, whether your parent needs someone quiet or chatty, experienced with mobility issues or dementia or anxiety. We know our caregivers well enough to make real matches, not random assignments. If the fit isn't right, we adjust.
We communicate with you ahead of time and line up someone we've already briefed on your parent's situation. We don't leave you hanging. Our pool is small and local, so coverage is real, not a promise we can't keep. Your parent's safety and your family's peace of mind matter more than convenience.
