Alzheimer’s Care is support designed around how the disease actually unfolds. As memory and routine fade, your parent needs someone in the home who understands the stages, who can keep the day structured, and who knows how to respond when things don’t go as planned. It’s not just watching someone. It’s active engagement with the specific challenges Alzheimer’s brings.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing and dressing, prepares meals, manages medications, and stays alert for signs of wandering or unsafe choices. They keep the home environment consistent, they engage your parent in familiar activities, and they watch for changes in mood or behavior that matter. They’re present during the hardest hours, often late afternoon and evening, when confusion tends to spike.
After discharge from Windham Hospital, many Chaplin families find that the real work begins at home. A nurse-founded agency like ours means your caregiver has training in how Alzheimer’s progresses, how to redirect without frustration, and how to keep safety front and center. We’ve been there. We know what exhaustion looks like after months of managing this alone.
Our founders are nurses who’ve cared for people with Alzheimer’s and supported families through it. We know the progression, we know why structure matters, we know that wandering at 2 a.m. means you haven’t slept in three days. That experience shapes everything we do.
We spend time understanding your parent, their personality, what they respond to, and what triggers confusion. Then we introduce a caregiver who fits that picture. The first few visits are about briefing, matching, and making sure this person can handle what Alzheimer’s brings on a hard day.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. You might call because your parent won’t eat, or because they’re asking for someone who died ten years ago, or because they’ve started wandering into the yard at night. We answer. We adjust. We don’t disappear when the situation gets messier.
We’re based here. We work regularly with Windham Hospital, we know the discharge process, we understand what residents in Windham, Hampton, Mansfield, and Coventry face when they come home. That local knowledge matters when you need care fast.

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 includes help with personal care, medication reminders, meal preparation, and structured activities that keep your parent engaged. Your caregiver watches for signs of wandering, confusion, or mood changes, and they respond in ways that reduce frustration. They also keep the home safe, manage the environment to reduce triggers, and stay alert for falls or health changes that need attention. The goal is to keep your parent as independent and comfortable as possible while protecting them from harm.
We can often start within 48 hours of discharge if you reach out before your parent leaves the hospital. We work with the Windham Hospital discharge team to get the information we need, we match a caregiver to your parent's specific situation, and we coordinate a briefing so there's no gap. If discharge planning is short notice, we have emergency availability in Chaplin and surrounding areas.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing and therapy, but not the daily support that Alzheimer's families usually need most. We can help you understand what your parent might qualify for, but you should plan for out-of-pocket costs. Many families find this investment in their parent's safety and their own sanity is worth every penny.
Home health aides typically come after a medical event, for a limited time, with a specific medical task. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for someone whose primary challenge is cognitive decline, not a recent surgery or acute illness. Our caregivers are trained in behavior, redirection, and the specific safety issues Alzheimer's brings. The relationship lasts as long as your parent needs it, and it adapts as the disease progresses.
Yes. We do a detailed intake call with you and your family to understand your parent's personality, habits, triggers, and what kind of person will work best in your home. Then we introduce a caregiver who fits that profile and who has experience with Alzheimer's. The first few visits are about building trust and making sure the match is solid before you depend on it.
We have a backup plan. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we bring in a backup caregiver that your parent has already met and who knows the routine. We don't leave you without coverage. If we need to, we step in ourselves, but the goal is continuity so your parent stays calm and the day stays structured.
