Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for people whose memory, decision-making, and daily routine are changing. We show up to help with the things that matter most, the ones that keep your parent safe and your family from running on empty. This isn’t medical nursing, it’s the everyday presence that catches the missed medications, the wandering into the backyard at 2 a.m., the shower that didn’t happen, the food that’s sitting untouched.
On a typical day, a caregiver might help with bathing and dressing, remind about meals and medication timing, keep your parent engaged or calm depending on what the day needs, watch for signs that something’s changed, and create a rhythm that your parent recognizes. You’ll know what happened while you were at work. You’ll sleep knowing someone was there to redirect when confusion or anxiety set in.
After a hospital stay at Yale New Haven Hospital, many families in Branford need more than what Medicare home health can provide. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s progression actually unfolds in a home, not just in theory. That foundation shapes how we train, how we listen, and how we stay steady when things get harder.
We know how Alzheimer’s moves through the days, the stages families actually experience, and what safety looks like at home. A nurse built this because she watched families exhaust themselves doing alone what shouldn’t be done alone.
We listen to what your parent is like, what they’re anxious about, what calms them down. Then we find someone who fits that, not just someone available. A good match changes everything.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When a caregiver calls in sick or your parent’s needs change overnight, you reach us and we respond. You’re not scrambling alone on a Sunday afternoon.
We know the discharge process at Yale New Haven Hospital, the neighborhoods where Branford families live, the rhythm of East Haven and Guilford too. We show up fast because we’re already here.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Alzheimer’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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
It depends on your parent and what stage they're in, but it usually includes help with bathing, dressing, grooming, reminders about meals and medications, and keeping them engaged or safe depending on the day. We watch for changes, redirect gently when confusion happens, and keep the house running in a way your parent can follow. We also keep you informed about what happened, what's changing, and when something feels different.
We've worked with families coming home from Yale New Haven Hospital in Branford many times. If you call us before discharge, we can often have a caregiver in place within a few days. If it's urgent, we move faster. The goal is that your parent isn't alone while you're trying to figure out what comes next.
No. Alzheimer's Care is private pay because it's not medical nursing, it's the daily support and safety that insurance doesn't cover. We understand that's a real conversation for families. We're honest about cost and we work with what you can do. Some families use home health for the medical piece and us for the daily structure.
A home health aide comes when a doctor orders it, usually for a specific time period after a hospital stay or illness. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, built around your parent's memory and behavior changes, not around a medical event. We're trained differently because what we're watching for is different. Both can be right, and sometimes families need both.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent, what they like, what upsets them, what they're good at, what time of day is hardest. We listen to what exhausted you most as the family. Then we find someone whose personality and experience actually fit. A mismatch wastes everyone's time and money.
You call us and we find coverage. We have caregivers we trust, and we let you know who's coming and when. You're not making calls at 6 a.m. trying to figure it out yourself. We keep that part handled so you can focus on your parent.
