Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone in your home who’s experiencing memory loss, confusion, or behavioral changes tied to Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. We’re not just keeping someone company or helping with tasks. We’re managing the specific challenges that come with the disease itself, moment by moment, day by day.
On any given day, this looks like helping your parent take medications on time, keeping routines that reduce confusion and anxiety, watching for wandering or unsafe decisions, and stepping in calmly when they’re frustrated or disoriented. We handle the repetition without frustration, the redirecting, the reassurance. We also give you a real break, so you’re not running on empty at 2 a.m. after a middle-of-the-night call about your parent being lost in their own house.
Ansonia families often come to us after a hospital stay at Griffin Hospital or after realizing that the morning routine has become a battle. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression and know the difference between normal aging and something that needs immediate attention. We can spot changes early and talk to you about what’s ahead, without sugarcoating it.
Our founder was a nurse, and every caregiver we match has training in how Alzheimer’s changes behavior, memory, and safety. We don’t just respond to problems, we anticipate them. We know why your parent wakes up at 3 a.m. convinced it’s time for work, and we have calm, real tools to help.
We listen to what your parent is like, what makes them calm or agitated, and what your family needs most. Then we take time finding someone who fits, not just whoever is available. You get a briefing before day one, and we stay in touch as things shift.
Alzheimer’s isn’t predictable. Your parent’s mood, abilities, or safety needs can shift week to week. You can call us when something feels different, and we listen like we’ve been in your kitchen too. We adjust the plan without making you feel like you’re asking too much.
We know Griffin Hospital’s discharge process and the care patterns here in Ansonia. We’re familiar with Derby, Shelton, Seymour, and Woodbridge. We show up, and we stay connected to your family’s story.

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.

Common questions
A typical day includes medication reminders or administration, keeping your parent on a routine so they feel less confused, watching for safety risks like wandering or forgetting they've already eaten, helping with personal care and hygiene, and staying present and calm when they're frustrated or repeating themselves. We also document changes and check in with you about what we're seeing. Every day is different, and we adjust as we go.
We typically start within a few days of a Griffin Hospital discharge, sometimes sooner. We'll do a phone conversation with you right away to understand what happened, what medications your parent is on, and what your biggest concerns are. Then we match a caregiver and schedule a start date. If there's urgency, we work with the hospital's discharge team to move quickly.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We know that's a real consideration for families. We're transparent about our rates upfront and can talk about what different levels of support cost. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We work with what you have.
A home health aide often comes after a medical event and focuses on physical tasks like bathing and dressing. Alzheimer's Care is built around the disease itself, the memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes. We're trained to redirect, reassure, and keep your parent calm and safe when they're disoriented. We also watch for medication errors, falls, and other risks that come with cognitive decline. It's a different skill set.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what calms them, what frustrates them, whether they're a morning person or night person, and what your family's priorities are. Then we match someone with experience and temperament that fits. We're not filling a slot, we're finding the right person. We'll also do a trial visit so you can see how it goes before committing to regular hours.
We have a backup plan. We'll either send someone from our team or connect you with a trusted caregiver we know. We don't just leave you hanging. We also give you advance notice whenever possible so there's no surprise, and we keep your parent's routine and preferences in a shared place so any caregiver can step in smoothly.
