Alzheimer’s Care is home-based support for someone in early to middle stages of memory loss. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s designed around the specific patterns of Alzheimer’s progression, keeping routines steady, watching for wandering, and handling the thousand small tasks that drain families. We show up when the disease is reshaping your parent’s day, and you’re exhausted from trying to keep everything together.
On any given day, this might mean helping with breakfast and medications, keeping your parent oriented to the time and season, taking a walk together to burn restless energy, sitting with them while they’re confused about what year it is, or simply being there so you can shower without panic. We notice when someone’s mood shifts, when they’re not eating like usual, when nighttime becomes the harder part. We’re watching for safety in ways that help you breathe.
Many Burlington families call us after a hospital stay at Bristol Hospital, where a discharge planner suggested in-home support but didn’t have the right match. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s from the inside, not just from training manuals. We know what it looks like when a parent starts refusing meals, when they’re afraid of the bathroom, when they can’t tell you what they need anymore.
Our founder came from nursing, watching families exhaust themselves trying to keep someone safe while the disease keeps changing the rules. We don’t call it compassionate, we call it experience. We understand the difference between a tough day and a crisis, and we know how to slow things down.
We don’t send the first available caregiver. We listen to your parent’s habits, fears, and what time of day is hardest for them. Then we find the caregiver who gets it, who can sit with silence, who won’t rush the morning routine.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a predictable schedule. When your parent’s behavior shifts or you need to adjust hours, you call us and reach a real person. We keep the same caregiver when we can, because continuity matters when someone’s memory is already fractured.
We’re local. We understand the rhythm of discharge planning at Bristol Hospital, we know the neighborhoods of Burlington inside out, and we can start quickly. We’re not a national service trying to figure out our area. We live 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.

Common questions
A typical day might include helping your parent wake up and orient to where they are, assisting with hygiene and dressing, preparing meals and sitting with them while they eat, managing medications, taking a walk or doing a quiet activity together, and watching for safety around the house. If they're having a hard afternoon or evening, the caregiver knows how to redirect them calmly, maybe by changing the activity or sitting quietly together. The goal is structure, safety, and keeping them as engaged as they can be.
We can often start within a few days. When Bristol Hospital's discharge team calls, we listen to what they're seeing and what your parent needs. We then match a caregiver, do a brief home visit so everyone meets, and start on the schedule that works for your family. If the need is urgent, we move fast. If you have time to prepare, we make sure the fit is right first.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of support because it's not skilled nursing. We understand that's a hard answer, and we're honest about pricing from the start. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they rearrange their budget because they have to. We help you think through what's possible.
A home health aide typically comes after a doctor orders skilled nursing care, and insurance pays for it. Alzheimer's Care is for situations where your parent needs support and structure, but not medical intervention. Our caregivers are trained in Alzheimer's specifically, not just general assistance. They know how to handle wandering, repetitive questioning, sundowning, and the emotional exhaustion that comes with memory loss. The focus is different.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent's personality, what times are hardest, whether they prefer quiet or activity, what they're afraid of, and what your family's rhythm looks like. We listen to what your parent says they want too. Then we find a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. We sometimes bring a few people in so your parent can meet them. The match is what makes Alzheimer's Care work.
We keep a backup whenever possible. Your parent does better with the same person, so we work hard to keep that continuity. If the regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call you with advance notice and send someone your parent has met before, when we can. We don't just send a stranger. If backup isn't available, we talk through options with you, because we know this matters for someone with Alzheimer's.
