Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support for someone with memory loss, cognitive changes, or dementia. It’s not medical nursing, but it is about keeping your parent safe, maintaining their routine, and managing the everyday challenges that come with the disease. We help with medication reminders, meals, personal care, and the kind of consistent presence that allows your parent to stay at home longer.
On any given day, this might look like helping your parent get dressed, preparing meals they’ll actually eat, keeping an eye on wandering or unsafe behaviors, managing the repetitive questions without frustration, and just being there so you’re not the only one carrying the weight. It also means noticing changes early, catching things before they become emergencies, and keeping structure when memory loss makes the world feel confusing.
In Bristol and around Hartford County, many families come to us after a stay at Bristol Hospital or after a doctor has confirmed early cognitive decline. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression from the inside, not just from training materials. That background helps us see what’s coming and adjust care before you’re in crisis.
Our founder worked in nursing and saw firsthand how hard it is to watch Alzheimer’s unfold while trying to manage everything else. We don’t use corporate language about your parent’s situation because we’ve lived it. We know what exhaustion looks like and why structure and safety matter so much.
We spend time learning your parent’s habits, fears, and preferences before we send anyone in. The right caregiver for Alzheimer’s Care isn’t just someone who’s trained, it’s someone who can keep calm when your parent is frustrated, who remembers that yesterday’s conversation didn’t happen, and who respects the person your parent still is.
Alzheimer’s is unpredictable. Your parent might be stable for weeks, then a fall, a medication adjustment, or a bad night throws everything off. You can reach us directly, not a call center. We adjust care as progression happens, not just at annual reviews.
We know the Bristol Hospital discharge process, the neighborhoods where you’d rather your parent not wander alone, and the kind of care that works in Connecticut homes. We’re not a national franchise figuring out your area as they go. We’re here.

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.

Common questions
A typical day includes help with personal care like bathing and dressing, medication reminders at the right times, preparing meals and making sure they eat, light tidying so the home stays manageable, and just being present and attentive. We keep routines consistent because routine reduces confusion and anxiety. We also watch for safety issues like stove left on, doors unlocked, or signs that your parent is having a harder day than usual. It's not medical nursing, but it's the kind of steady, watchful support that lets your parent stay home safely while you know someone experienced is there.
We can often start within a few days of discharge if the need is clear and urgent. After someone leaves Bristol Hospital, the transition home can be overwhelming, and if cognitive decline is part of why they need care, having Alzheimer's Care in place right away prevents falls, medication errors, and the stress of figuring it out alone. We coordinate with discharge planning at Bristol Hospital so there's no gap. Call us as soon as the discharge date is set, and we'll get moving.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you'll cover the cost out of pocket. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover what we do because we're not skilled nursing care, we're the daily support layer that keeps someone safe at home. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or Medicaid in certain situations, but you'll want to check your specific policy. We can discuss costs and what a realistic budget looks like for your parent's needs.
Home health aides are usually sent by medical agencies after an injury or hospital stay, and they're focused on recovery from a specific medical event. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for someone living with memory loss or dementia, where the goal isn't recovery but safety, routine, and slowing decline at home. A home health aide might help for a few weeks after surgery. Alzheimer's Care is often longer-term because the disease is progressive. We're also trained specifically in how memory loss affects behavior and decision-making, not just in hands-on care tasks.
Yes, and it's one of the things we do carefully. We learn about your parent's personality, what makes them anxious, what they still enjoy, and what kind of presence feels safe to them. Then we match a caregiver who fits that picture, not just the clinical picture. If it's not working after a few visits, we change it. A good match in Alzheimer's Care means your parent is calmer, less resistant to help, and your family has real peace of mind.
We have backup coverage so your parent isn't left without care. We'll call you first and give you a heads up about who's coming, and we make sure the substitute knows your parent's routine and any issues from recent days. It's not ideal to have someone new every time, which is why we work hard to keep the same person consistent, but we don't leave families scrambling when life happens.
