Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is hands-on support for someone whose memory and judgment are changing. It’s not just supervision. It’s a caregiver who knows the disease itself, who can spot when your parent is frustrated versus scared, who keeps them safe during the parts of the day when time gets confusing.
Day to day, this means helping with medications that get forgotten, keeping structure so afternoons don’t spiral, watching for wandering, managing the bathroom and meals when your parent’s appetite or ability shifts. It means your parent stays home, stays safe, and you stop holding your breath every time the phone rings.
After Waterbury Hospital discharge, families often call us because they need more than a standard aide can offer. We’re nurse-founded, which means our team understands Alzheimer’s progression the way a clinician does, not just from training manuals. That matters when you’re exhausted and your parent’s behavior changes overnight.
Our founder is a nurse who has worked with Alzheimer’s patients for years. That means when your parent wanders or refuses to shower, we know it’s not stubbornness. We know how to keep structure and safety without fighting the disease. You get someone who speaks the language of what you’re actually living.
We don’t send a generic home health aide and hope it works. We listen to your parent’s history, their triggers, their good hours and hard hours. Then we match someone with Alzheimer’s experience who fits. That caregiver is briefed on your specific situation before they walk through your door.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When behavior shifts or your parent gets sick, you can reach us. We help troubleshoot, adjust care, or get someone there faster. You’re not managing this alone at two in the morning.
We’re local to Bethlehem, Morris, Woodbury, Washington, and Litchfield. We know Waterbury Hospital’s discharge process and what families need when they come home. We already understand your community, your streets, your nearest urgent care.

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 at an agreed time and helps with medications, breakfast, and the morning routine. They watch for confusion or frustration and use redirecting techniques rather than arguing. They keep your parent engaged with simple activities, walk if that's grounding, help with lunch and personal care. They document what they see, so you and any doctors know what's happening. They're alert to safety, especially if your parent tries to leave or forgets they've already eaten.
We can often arrange care within 24 to 48 hours of your call, depending on caregiver availability. If you know discharge is coming, calling us a few days early helps. We'll gather information about your parent's baseline, their routine, any behavioral patterns the hospital staff noted. That prep work means the caregiver walking in on day one already knows your parent's story and what to watch for.
No, Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover medical home health after a hospital stay, but not the kind of ongoing behavioral and safety support that Alzheimer's usually requires. We can tell you exactly what our hourly rates are and help you think through scheduling and cost. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We'll be honest about what this means for your budget.
A home health aide, often sent by an agency after hospitalization, helps with bathing, dressing, and activities of daily living. Alzheimer's Care is different because it focuses on the disease itself, the confusion and behavior changes that come with it. Our caregivers know how to respond when your parent doesn't recognize you, how to de-escalate, how to create routine and safety around the memory loss. It's training and experience that goes beyond personal care skills.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality before the disease, their interests, any difficult behaviors or triggers, and what time of day is hardest. We match based on fit, not just availability. If your parent did carpentry and was always private, we don't send someone chatty. If they love to cook, we try to match someone who can engage that way. The first few days, we check in closely to make sure it's working.
We keep backup coverage ready. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call you as soon as we know, and we work to get another trained caregiver to your home that day or the next. We don't leave you hanging. We understand that Alzheimer's Care depends on consistency and trust, so continuity matters. We also tell you upfront how backup coverage works for your situation.
