Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Respite Care is coverage you arrange ahead of time so someone trained can step in and take over your parent’s care for hours, a day, or a stretch of days. You get a real break, not a guilty break. Your parent gets consistent, knowledgeable care. It’s that simple.
On the day a caregiver arrives, they handle medication reminders, meals, toileting, mobility support, and companionship. They follow the routines you’ve set up. They keep an eye on what matters. You do something for yourself, sleep without your phone in your hand, or just sit in a quiet room. That’s the whole point.
We’re based in Litchfield County and know the discharge protocols at New Milford Hospital well. Many families call us right after their parent comes home, when the reality of 24/7 care sets in. We were founded by nurses, so we understand caregiver burnout not as a failure, but as something real that happens when one person is doing everything.
Our founder is a nurse who watched families break under the weight of solo caregiving. We don’t see your need for a break as a weakness. We see it as the only thing keeping you standing. Respite Care exists because you can’t do this alone.
When you call, we ask real questions about your parent, their habits, what makes them comfortable, and what you need most. Then we match a caregiver who fits, not just whoever’s available. You get someone your parent trusts and you can trust.
Plans change. Your parent’s needs shift. We’re here when you need to adjust hours, swap a caregiver, or add extra days. You’re not managing this alone once we’re in the picture.
We work with families in Bridgewater, Washington, Woodbury, and all areas of Roxbury. We know the local systems, the doctors, the discharge process at New Milford Hospital. That local knowledge matters.
How it works
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
A caregiver arrives and takes over. They remind your parent about medications, prepare meals, help with bathing or toileting if needed, handle light household tasks related to care, and provide companionship. They follow the routines and instructions you've given them. You leave, or you stay home and rest. They manage what you usually manage, and you get a break.
We can often start within a few days of your call, sometimes sooner. Right after discharge is actually when many families need us most. The adjustment home is hard. Call us as soon as you're home from the hospital, and we'll get your parent matched with a caregiver quickly.
Respite Care is typically private pay. Medicare doesn't cover it, and most insurance plans don't either. We're honest about that upfront. We work with families on what fits their budget and their parent's actual needs. If you're unsure, call and we can talk through options.
A home health aide comes because a doctor ordered skilled care. Respite Care is what you arrange because you need a break. The caregiver's job is the same, but the reason and the timing are different. You control when it starts and stops. Some families use both.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, routines, any care needs, and what you need from a caregiver. Then we match carefully. If it's not working, we adjust. Your parent should feel comfortable, and you should feel confident in who's here.
We cover it. If your scheduled caregiver gets sick or can't make it, we have backup. We call you ahead of time if there's a change, and we send someone your parent already knows when we can. You don't lose your break because of a last-minute conflict.
