Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is supervision and support built around how the disease actually progresses. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s not just companionship either. We help your parent stay oriented to their day, keep a routine that makes them feel safer, watch for wandering or unsafe choices, and give you a break from the weight of watching constantly.
On any given day, this might look like helping with breakfast while keeping an eye on medication, taking a walk through your Avon neighborhood so your parent gets movement and sunlight, managing the afternoon hours when confusion often peaks, and staying alert for falls, changes in mood, or signs that something’s off. We document what we see and keep you in the loop. We also recognize when you’re running on empty, and we’re here to give you real rest.
If your parent has just come home from Hartford Hospital or was recently evaluated there, you’ve likely heard the word Alzheimer’s or dementia in a way that made it real. That’s where we step in. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression in your body and mind, not just from training but from living alongside families who are managing it. We show up ready to keep your parent safe and your family steady.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we recognize how Alzheimer’s changes behavior, safety awareness, and how your parent relates to their own home. We don’t just follow a checklist, we adapt when the disease shifts. We know the exhaustion of watching someone you love become harder to reach, and we’re trained to notice what’s changing.
We don’t send someone new each week. We learn your parent, their history, what calms them, what triggers confusion. We brief our caregivers thoroughly before they meet your parent, and we keep listening to what’s working. The right match can make the difference between a parent who feels safe and one who stays anxious.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent has a bad night, a fall, a medication concern, or your own crisis happens, you can reach us. We adjust coverage and we communicate what we’re seeing. You’re not alone figuring this out on a Sunday at midnight.
We work with families navigating discharge from Hartford Hospital and other local providers. We understand the local health system and how to coordinate care. Being rooted in Hartford County means we know Avon, Simsbury, and the surrounding towns, and we’re accessible when you need us.

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

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 while watching for safety, taking a structured walk or activity to provide routine and engagement, staying alert during the afternoon hours when confusion often peaks, helping with meals and medications, and keeping notes on how your parent seems mentally and physically. We're supervising and supporting, not providing medical care, but we notice and report changes to you immediately. The goal is to keep your parent oriented, safe, and as independent as possible while giving you real relief.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you reach out right away. The sooner you call after discharge, the sooner we can match a caregiver and get them briefed on what Hartford Hospital or your parent's doctor has told you about their care. The transition home is critical, and you don't need to manage those first days alone.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you pay out of pocket. Medicare doesn't cover this level of supervision and support, though some families use long-term care insurance or personal funds. We're transparent about costs from the first call. If you have questions about what insurance might apply to other services your parent needs, we can talk through that with you.
A home health aide provides hands-on personal care like bathing and dressing, usually ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care is supervision, structure, safety, and companionship designed specifically for how the disease changes thinking and behavior. You might have both, or one, depending on what your parent needs. Home health aides handle physical tasks, we handle the cognitive and behavioral support, plus we give you a mental break.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, history, what calms or unsettles them, and what matters most to your family. We then match a caregiver with relevant experience and temperament, and we brief them thoroughly before they meet your parent. We don't assign someone at random. This matching takes time and attention, and it makes the difference between a caregiver your parent trusts and one they resist.
We have a backup plan. We don't leave you stranded. If your regular caregiver is sick or unable to work, we coordinate a trained substitute who knows your parent and your family's routines. You'll be notified as soon as possible. We understand that consistency matters with Alzheimer's Care, and we work hard to protect that, but life happens. We're committed to keeping your parent covered.
