Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone whose memory is changing and whose safety needs are shifting. We’re not here to fix what can’t be fixed. We’re here to build routines that work, keep your parent safe during the parts of the day when they’re most confused, and give you back some of your own life.
On any given day, this might mean helping with breakfast at the same time every morning so there’s a rhythm to follow, keeping track of medications so nothing gets missed or doubled, staying alert when your parent wants to leave the house at 2 a.m., and sitting with them through the afternoon hours when Alzheimer’s confusion tends to peak. It means noticing small changes and reporting them to you, so you’re never surprised.
If your parent was recently discharged from Manchester Memorial Hospital with an Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis, we know the transition home can feel urgent and scary. Our agency was founded by a nurse who spent years watching families exhaust themselves trying to manage this alone. That background means we recognize early warning signs, we understand medication interactions, and we know how to talk to doctors on your behalf.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stand still, and neither do we. A nurse-founded agency means someone on our team has actually sat in the chair you’re sitting in. We know what safe looks like at each stage, and we adjust before a crisis forces us to.
We spend time getting to know your parent and your family before anyone starts. The right caregiver isn’t just someone with experience. It’s someone whose presence actually calms your parent down, who remembers the small details that make the day feel normal.
When Alzheimer’s Care needs change suddenly, you don’t have time to leave a voicemail and wait. You can reach us, talk through what you’re seeing, and adjust care without filling out forms or waiting for callbacks.
We know Andover and the surrounding towns. We know the doctors at Manchester Memorial Hospital, the discharge process, and the neighborhoods where families live. That local knowledge means faster response and better coordination with your parent’s medical team.

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 typical day might include helping your parent get dressed and eat breakfast at a consistent time, giving medications, keeping them engaged with familiar activities, and watching for any signs of distress or confusion. We stay alert during times of day when Alzheimer's symptoms tend to get worse, usually late afternoon and evening. We're also the person who notices if something has changed, whether that's a new medication side effect, a fall, or a shift in mood. Everything gets reported to you.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of hospital discharge if you call us right away. If your parent came home with new medications, equipment, or safety concerns, we prioritize getting a caregiver in place fast. We coordinate directly with Manchester Memorial Hospital's discharge team to understand what your parent needs and make sure nothing falls through the cracks during those first vulnerable days at home.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or physical therapy after a hospital stay, but memory care and daily supervision fall outside those benefits. We can help you navigate what your parent might qualify for, and we're transparent about costs upfront. Many families find that Alzheimer's Care costs less than they expected when they do the math on how much time it saves them.
A home health aide is typically sent by a medical agency and focuses on personal care tasks like bathing and dressing, usually for a few hours a week after a hospital stay. Alzheimer's Care is different. We provide consistent, longer-term presence, behavioral support, and safety monitoring specifically for memory loss. Our caregivers understand Alzheimer's progression and can de-escalate confusion or agitation in ways that go beyond basic personal care.
Yes. We spend time listening to what matters most to your family. Maybe your parent needs someone calm and quiet, or maybe they do better with someone more social and energetic. Maybe they have specific preferences about personality, background, or even accent. We work to find the match that feels right, and we don't settle for whoever is available that day.
We maintain a network of trained backup caregivers who know your parent or can be brought up to speed quickly. We don't leave you scrambling. If your regular caregiver calls in sick, we contact you as soon as possible with a replacement. For planned absences, we give you notice and help with transition time so your parent isn't confused by the change.
