Respite Care is time off for you. A trained caregiver comes to your home in Redding and handles the daily care, meals, mobility, and supervision while you step away. An afternoon, an overnight, a full day, a week, whatever helps you breathe again.
On the days our caregiver is there, you see someone who knows how to lift safely, prepare meals, manage medications, keep your parent or family member engaged. You see yourself getting a shower without rushing, having a conversation that doesn’t loop back to health problems, sleeping through the night.
Many Redding families come to us after a discharge from Danbury Hospital, when they’re exhausted from acute care and realize the long-term load ahead. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know exactly what burnout looks like and we don’t sell you more than you need. We build a plan that fits your real life.
Our founder was a nurse who watched families run themselves into the ground trying to do everything alone. We don’t treat Respite Care as a luxury. We treat it as something you deserve so you can keep showing up for the people you love without disappearing.
We spend time understanding what your parent needs and who might be the right fit. Before any caregiver arrives, we make sure they know your home, your routines, your specific requests. You’re not starting from scratch every time.
If your parent’s needs shift or you need to adjust the schedule, you reach a person who knows your family, not a call center. We work within your reality, not against it.
We’re local to Redding and the surrounding towns. We understand Danbury Hospital’s discharge process and we coordinate with your parent’s doctors. You’re working with people who understand your area.

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
Our caregiver arrives at your home and takes over the activities of daily living: helping with bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility if needed. They prepare meals, manage medications on schedule, keep your parent company, handle light housekeeping, and make sure everything runs smoothly. You get to leave with a clear conscience knowing someone trained and trustworthy is there. We document what happened so you stay informed.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours if you call us right away. If you're still in the hospital or at a rehab facility, we coordinate the timing with your discharge plan. We know Danbury Hospital's schedule and we're ready to step in when you need us. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can get someone in your home in Redding.
Respite Care is private pay, which means it's not typically covered by Medicare or standard health insurance. We're transparent about costs upfront so there are no surprises. Some families budget for it like any other essential service, and others use it strategically during the hardest seasons. We can discuss what makes sense for your situation.
A home health aide usually comes because a doctor ordered skilled care after an illness or hospital stay. Respite Care is different, it's scheduled because you need a break and your family member needs supervision. Respite doesn't require a medical order, we work directly with you. Both are personal care, but Respite Care is about giving you rest and peace of mind.
Yes, we take time to understand your parent's personality, any behavioral needs, mobility issues, and preferences. We look for caregivers whose strengths fit what your family actually needs. If the match isn't working after a visit or two, we adjust. You shouldn't have to force it to work.
We have backup caregivers we can call, and we'll fill the gap whenever possible. We give you as much notice as we can. If you ever feel stuck or unsure, you can call us directly, not a general number. We problem-solve with you, not around you.
