Stroke Recovery Care in Warren, CT
Non-medical in-home care after a stroke — homemaker-companion support during rehab and recovery at home.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your mom came home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital on a Thursday. By Saturday morning, you were standing in the kitchen on Route 45 watching her try to grip a coffee mug with a hand that wouldn’t cooperate, and you realized the discharge paperwork didn’t quite cover this part. The therapists were kind, the plan looked reasonable on paper, but back home in Warren it felt like the safety net had disappeared. That moment, when the medical system steps back and the real work of recovery begins, is exactly where we come in.
We’re Private Duty Aides, a nurse-founded home care agency serving Warren and Litchfield County. We help families navigate the hard stretch after a stroke, when your parent needs steady, patient support every single day and you need someone you can actually trust to show up.
Stroke recovery care is in-home support for people who’ve had a stroke and are back at home but still need consistent, hands-on help to stay safe and make progress. That means helping with walking, transfers, bathing, and dressing when a person’s strength or coordination is still returning. It also means being a steady, calm presence while someone works through speech difficulties or the frustration of doing things more slowly than they used to.
On a typical day, your caregiver might assist with morning routines, prepare meals, help with exercises the physical or occupational therapist prescribed, and provide companionship during the hours when being alone feels hard. After a discharge from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, the transition back to a Warren home can be disorienting. Familiar spaces feel different. Routines take longer. A caregiver who knows what to watch for and how to help without taking over makes a real difference in that first month.
Because we’re nurse-founded, the people building your care plan understand what post-stroke recovery actually looks like clinically. That shapes how we match caregivers, what we ask them to watch for, and how we communicate with families when something changes.
Nurse-founded, not just nurse-advised
Our founder is a working nurse who saw firsthand what families managing post-stroke recovery at home actually needed, and what most agencies were missing. That background is baked into how we train, match, and supervise caregivers.
Built around stroke recovery specifically
We don’t drop a generalist caregiver into a complex post-stroke situation and hope for the best. We brief caregivers on your parent’s deficits, their therapy goals, and the things to watch for, before the first shift starts.
We pick up the phone
When something changes midweek, or you have a question on a Sunday night, you call us and someone answers. Stroke recovery doesn’t follow business hours, and neither do we.
We know Warren and Litchfield County
We understand the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, the geography of getting care to rural Warren addresses, and the way families here tend to handle things quietly until they’re overwhelmed. We’ve been there with them.
How it works
You tell us what’s going on, where things stand, and what you’re worried about. No intake forms to fill out first, no pressure. We just listen and ask the questions that help us understand your situation.
For stroke recovery specifically, we look at experience with mobility support, patience with speech difficulties, and personality fit. Availability matters, but it’s not the only thing we’re thinking about.
Often sooner for Warren families who’ve just come home from rehab and need help right away. We know discharge timing doesn’t always give you a long runway to plan.
You’ll hear from us regularly, not just when there’s a problem. If something shifts in your parent’s recovery or your schedule changes, we adjust. You’re never left guessing.
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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A typical day depends on where your parent is in recovery, but generally a caregiver will help with morning routines like bathing, dressing, and breakfast, then stay present for whatever comes next. That might mean assisting with prescribed home exercises, helping with walking or transfers, preparing meals, and providing company during the hours when being alone feels harder than it used to. We also watch for anything that warrants a call to the family or a medical provider, like changes in strength, mood, or alertness.
We can typically start within 48 hours of your first call, and for families coming directly home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, we often move faster than that. If you know the discharge date in advance, even a day or two ahead, that gives us more time to match carefully. Call us as soon as you have a discharge window and we'll work around it.
We're a private-pay agency, which means we don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance directly. Medicare may cover skilled nursing or physical therapy at home for a limited period after a stroke, but it doesn't cover the ongoing daily personal care and companionship that most families need. Long-term care insurance sometimes covers private-pay home care, so it's worth checking your policy. We're happy to give you the documentation you need to submit for reimbursement if your plan allows it.
A home health aide through a Medicare-certified agency is usually a licensed clinician focused on skilled tasks like wound care or therapy, and those visits are often short and time-limited. What we provide is non-medical daily support, the kind of steady, consistent help that fills in all the hours around those clinical visits. We're not replacing your physical therapist. We're the person who helps your parent stay safe and moving through the rest of the day.
Yes, and that's one of the things we take seriously. When you call, we ask real questions about your parent's personality, what frustrates them, what they respond well to, and what the stroke has specifically affected. Someone working through speech difficulties needs a caregiver who's patient and doesn't finish their sentences for them. Someone dealing with mobility loss needs a caregiver with safe transfer technique. We match on all of that, not just schedule.
We cover it. You'll hear from us directly, and we'll send someone who's been briefed on your parent's situation, not a stranger walking in cold. We know that consistency matters enormously in stroke recovery, so we work hard to keep the same caregivers in place. But when something unexpected happens, you won't be left scrambling on your own.
