Respite Care is care that gives you, the family member, an actual break. It means someone trained comes to your home in Bolton, stays with your parent or family member, and handles the daily tasks while you step away with a clear mind. You’re not delegating everything. You’re taking the shift that you’ve been running alone and handing it to someone who knows what they’re doing.
On a typical day, your respite caregiver manages medication reminders, meal prep, personal care, mobility assistance, and companionship. They watch for changes, keep notes, and handle the hundred small decisions that fill a caregiver’s day. You get time back, whether that’s an afternoon, an evening, or a few hours to sit without your phone in your pocket.
Many Bolton families connect with us after a hospital stay at Manchester Memorial Hospital, when discharge planning reveals how much your family’s been carrying. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what caregiver burnout actually is, not as a concept but as something that happens when one person is doing everything. That knowledge shapes how we match caregivers and how we show up.
Our founder built this agency because she lived it, watching family members running on empty while trying to manage care alone. We don’t use language that sounds nice but means nothing. When you call about respite, you’re talking to people who get why you need this without the guilt.
We don’t just send someone. We listen to what your family actually needs, what your parent responds to, and what tasks matter most. Your caregiver comes prepared, trained on your routines, and ready to be present from day one.
Health situations shift. Your backup falls through. You call us because you need someone sooner than expected. We’re reachable, we understand the urgency, and we work to respond rather than hand you a waitlist.
We know Bolton’s roads, we’re familiar with Manchester Memorial Hospital’s discharge process, and we understand the specific needs of families in our region. You’re not working with an out-of-state company trying to guess what your situation looks like.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Respite 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
Your caregiver handles medication reminders, meal preparation, personal hygiene support, light housekeeping around care areas, mobility and activity support, and companionship. They keep an eye out for any changes in mood, appetite, or physical condition and document what they observe. Most importantly, they free you to step away knowing your family member is safe and attended to.
We can often arrange care within a few days of discharge, depending on availability and your family's schedule. If you're planning ahead, we recommend connecting with us before discharge so we can coordinate with hospital staff and be ready the moment you're home. Emergency respite requests are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Respite Care through our agency is private pay, meaning you pay directly for the hours of care you use. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this service, though some long-term care or supplemental policies may offer limited coverage. We're transparent about costs upfront so you can plan without surprises.
A home health aide typically provides medical care ordered by a doctor and is usually covered by insurance or Medicare. Respite Care is about giving the family caregiver a break. It's designed around your family's schedule and needs rather than a medical plan. You're paying for relief, and the focus is on your ability to rest.
Yes. We listen to what matters most in your family's situation, your parent's preferences, and the tasks that feel hardest. We then match you with someone who fits, not just someone available. If the match isn't right, we work to adjust.
We have backup caregivers trained and briefed on families in Bolton, so we can often find coverage rather than cancel your respite time. If we're short, we tell you honestly and give you as much notice as possible. Your reliability matters to us.
