Alzheimer’s Care is home support built around memory loss, behavioral changes, and the safety issues that come with them. We’re not here to cure anything. We’re here to keep your parent safe, maintain a rhythm to their day, and give you back some air to breathe.
On a typical day, our caregiver might help with meals, medication reminders, personal hygiene, and staying oriented to time and place. We watch for wandering risk, recognize when agitation is building, and know how to redirect without force. We keep notes so you understand what’s happening when you’re not there. We answer the phone at 2 a.m. if something changes.
Many Brooklyn families come to us after a hospital stay at Day Kimball or a doctor’s appointment that finally named what was happening. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression, medication interactions, and the difference between normal aging and Alzheimer’s. That background changes how we show up in your home.
We know the stages of Alzheimer’s and what to watch for at each one. We understand that structure, routine, and a calm environment aren’t luxuries. We’re trained to spot when your parent is tired, frustrated, or lost, and we know how to help before a crisis happens.
We don’t send a list. We listen to your parent’s personality, your family’s needs, and what actually matters to you. Then we find a caregiver who fits, and we check in to make sure the match is real. If it’s not working, we fix it.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t run on a schedule. If your caregiver gets sick, if your parent’s needs change overnight, or if you need extra support next week, we answer. We’re small enough to know your situation and large enough to actually help.
We know Day Kimball Hospital, we know Brooklyn streets and neighborhoods, and we know the local doctors and resources. We’re not managing your care from an office two hours away. We’re here.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Alzheimer’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
It depends on your parent's stage and your needs, but it typically includes help with meals and medication reminders, personal care like bathing and dressing, toileting assistance, and keeping the home safe. We also manage the behavioral and memory issues that come with Alzheimer's, like repetition, confusion about time, and wandering risk. Most importantly, we're there so you're not doing it alone while also working, raising kids, or managing your own life.
We can typically start within 48 hours of your call, sometimes sooner if it's urgent. We'll do a brief conversation to understand your parent's condition and your family's schedule, then match a caregiver and get them to your home. If you're being discharged from Day Kimball, call us before you leave the hospital so we can coordinate timing and make sure there's no gap in support.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you'll cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of companion or custodial care, even though it's often the most important care your parent receives. We're transparent about our rates upfront, and we can discuss payment options that work for your family's budget.
A home health aide is ordered by a doctor for specific medical needs and is often covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care is what happens when the medical piece is stable but your parent still needs daily support, supervision, and someone trained to handle memory loss and behavior changes. You can have both, and often families do. We work alongside whatever medical care your parent is receiving.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, their interests, whether they're a morning person or night person, what makes them calm or agitated, and what your family values most. Then we match someone who fits, not just someone available. We also consider your preferences, like gender, experience level, or language spoken at home.
We have backup coverage so there's no gap. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we'll send a trained backup who knows your parent's care plan. For longer absences, we'll find a replacement who can step in smoothly. We communicate with you directly about any changes, and we don't surprise you on the day.
