Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Respite Care is paid, trained help that gives you a real break from caregiving. We’re not here to replace you. We’re here so you can sleep through the night, take your other kid to a soccer game, or just sit on the porch without your phone in your hand. A caregiver comes to your home and handles what you’ve been handling, so your parent or family member gets continuity of care and you get your life back for a few hours, a few days, or however long you need.
On a respite day, our caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and companionship. If your parent likes to take a morning walk or sit outside, we do that. If there’s a routine that matters, we follow it. Families tell us the most valuable part is knowing someone trained and vetted is in the house, so they can actually rest instead of checking their phone every five minutes.
Many Hampton families come to us through Windham Hospital after a parent’s hospitalization or procedure, when everyone is exhausted and someone needs continuity at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what you actually need, not what sounds good in a brochure. We know the discharge process, the questions that matter, and how to fit into your family’s rhythm right away.
Our founders were caregivers too. We’ve been the only one managing everything, and we built this service so you don’t have to carry it alone. You deserve a break without guilt, and we mean that.
We don’t send someone random to your home. We sit with you first, learn what matters, and match you with someone who fits your parent’s personality and needs. Then we keep that same person on your care plan whenever possible.
If your parent has a bad day, if the caregiver gets sick, or if something changes, you reach us directly. No call center. No runaround. We adjust.
We know Hampton, Chaplin, Windham, Brooklyn, and Pomfret. We work with Windham Hospital’s discharge teams and understand the care continuum in this area.

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
A respite caregiver handles bathing, dressing, grooming, meal prep, eating together, light housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders, and companionship. If your parent needs help with mobility or transfers, we do that too. We follow your parent's routine, preferences, and any medical instructions you've left. The goal is for your parent to have a normal day with someone trained and present, while you're truly off duty.
We can often start within 48 hours if you call right away. If your parent is still in the hospital or coming home soon, we begin our intake conversation immediately so we're ready the day they arrive. We coordinate with Windham Hospital's discharge planners and get up to speed on any new medical needs or precautions before your caregiver steps into your home.
Respite Care through our agency is private pay, which means you're not waiting for approvals or fighting with insurance. Costs vary based on the hours and frequency you need, and we're transparent about pricing upfront. Some families find they can free up money by taking the break they need and avoiding caregiver burnout.
Home health aides are typically ordered by a doctor after hospitalization and covered by insurance for skilled or medical needs. Respite Care is what you choose and pay for directly, when you need someone to take over so you can rest and reclaim your life. Respite is about giving you a break. That's the whole point.
Yes. We sit with you first and learn what matters: personality, routines, medical needs, mobility, preferences about gender or experience. Then we match thoughtfully. If it's not right after the first visit, we adjust. We want the same caregiver coming back so your parent feels comfortable and you trust who's in your home.
We call you as soon as we know and work to find a backup from our team who's already been briefed on your parent's needs. We don't just send anyone. If we can't find a good match that day, we tell you directly instead of scrambling. Your peace of mind matters, so we only send someone we're confident about.
