Alzheimer’s Care is hands-on support for someone whose memory, routine, and safety are changing. It’s not medical nursing, but it is someone trained to notice what’s happening, to keep your parent safe when confusion peaks, and to give you the break you desperately need.
On a typical day, our caregiver helps with meals, medication reminders, dressing, bathroom routines, and keeping your parent engaged. We watch for wandering, for falls, for missed doses. We keep the same person coming when possible, because consistency matters when someone’s world feels scattered. We call you with updates and never surprise you.
If your parent has recently been discharged from New Milford Hospital or is seeing their doctor here in Litchfield County, we work with that care plan and hospital notes. Our founder is a nurse, which means we understand progression, we don’t panic when behaviors shift, and we know exactly what questions to ask so the right help is in place from day one.
Alzheimer’s isn’t just forgetting. It’s sundowning, wandering at 2 a.m., arguing about whether the door is locked, skipping meals because nothing tastes right. Our founder is a nurse. She’s lived this with families. That means we don’t treat it like a checklist, we treat it like someone’s parent.
We spend time understanding your parent, your family’s rhythm, and what your caregiver needs to know before day one. We’re not filling a slot, we’re introducing someone who will show up the same way every time. Consistency is not a luxury when someone has Alzheimer’s, it’s safety.
A behavior shift at 10 p.m. or a fall you didn’t see coming, we answer. You’ll know who to call, and we’ll listen like we’ve been in your kitchen at 6 a.m. trying to get your parent to eat breakfast. That’s because we have been.
We know the New Milford Hospital social workers, we understand the Litchfield County care landscape, and we can start within days of a hospital discharge when your parent needs eyes on them immediately. Being local to Bridgewater and the surrounding towns means we show up on time, every time.

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
Our caregiver helps with breakfast, medication reminders, bathing and dressing, lunch, keeping your parent occupied or rested, and watching for safety issues like wandering or falls. We keep a simple log of meals eaten, mood, any unusual behavior, and we call or text you with updates. If your parent needs to be somewhere, we help with that. If they need to stay home, we keep them safe and occupied. Every day looks similar, which is what makes it work.
We can usually start within 2 to 3 business days if you call us with the discharge paperwork and your parent's needs. If it's urgent, we move faster. We request hospital notes, medication lists, and any behavioral notes so our caregiver isn't walking in blind. The faster you reach out, the faster we can get someone in place.
Alzheimer's Care through home care agencies is typically private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans do not cover this level of support unless it's ordered as skilled nursing, which is different. We're honest about cost upfront. We can talk through your options and answer questions about whether you might qualify for any state programs, but plan on this being out of pocket or through long-term care insurance if you have it.
A home health aide comes on a doctor's order and focuses on activities of daily living, often as part of post-hospital recovery. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, not necessarily tied to a doctor's order, and our caregivers are trained specifically in dementia behavior, safety, and structure. We're also private pay, so you're not waiting for insurance approval or limited to a certain number of hours.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, preferences, energy level, any history of anxiety or aggression, and what a good day looks like. We ask about you, too, because this matters. We then match someone with experience in that specific presentation of Alzheimer's. We don't guarantee perfection, but we work hard to get the fit right because we know turnover is stressful for your parent.
We line up a backup, someone your parent has met if possible. We let you know in advance whenever we can. If something unexpected happens, we have coverage and we call you before we send someone different. Your parent's routine matters, so we try hard to keep the same face. But we won't leave you without someone.
