You got the call from your sister after she visited on Easter Sunday.

Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support designed specifically for people in the early, middle, or later stages of dementia. It’s not just watching someone. It’s keeping their day structured, their environment safe, their medications on time, and their mind as engaged as possible while everything else around them is changing.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, and toileting. They watch for wandering, manage confusion calmly, redirect when needed, and keep written notes about what worked and what didn’t. They’re present during the hardest hours, especially late afternoon and evening when behavior often shifts. They also give you, the family member, permission to step back and breathe.
Many Cheshire families come to us right after a hospital stay or evaluation at MidState Medical Center, when a diagnosis is fresh and the weight of managing this alone feels impossible. We’re nurse-founded, which means we’ve actually lived the progression of Alzheimer’s with our own families. That foundation shapes everything we do, from how we listen to what you’re really worried about to how we match someone to your parent’s specific personality and needs.
Our founder and caregivers have walked this path with family members. We’re not reading from a manual. When you tell us your dad repeats the same story fifteen times an hour or your mom gets aggressive at sunset, we know exactly what you mean and why structure matters so much. That lived experience is what makes the difference in how we match someone to your family.
We don’t just send anyone. We listen to your parent’s personality, your family’s rhythm, the specific triggers and comforts. We spend real time briefing your caregiver on what matters. Then we check in regularly, adjust as Alzheimer’s progression changes things, and we’re reachable when you need us.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. Your parent might have a bad week, a medication change, a fall you didn’t see, or a Sunday when they don’t recognize you. When that happens, you can call us. We listen. We help you think it through. We adjust the plan.
We work with MidState Medical Center’s discharge team, we know the local doctors, we understand the neighborhoods of Cheshire from Wallingford’s border to Southington. That local presence means faster responses and better coordination when your parent’s care needs change.

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 caregiver comes to your home for the hours you schedule, usually four to twelve per day. They help with personal care like bathing and dressing, prepare meals, manage medications, watch for wandering or safety risks, and keep your parent's day structured and calm. They keep notes about mood, appetite, sleep, and behavior changes so you and their doctor have clear information. They're also present to reduce the isolation and confusion that Alzheimer's creates, offering companionship and redirection when confusion happens.
We can usually start within two to three business days if you reach out early. If you're still at the hospital or in the discharge planning stage, tell your social worker we're your choice. We'll coordinate directly with MidState's team to understand what your parent needs post-discharge. If you need care to start faster, we'll do our best to accommodate. The sooner we meet your parent and your family, the better the match.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of support because it's custodial care, not skilled nursing. We understand that's a real conversation for families. Some people use long-term care insurance if they have it, some adjust their schedules to part-time care, and some use a combination of family help and our caregivers. We're honest about costs and flexible about scheduling so you can find what works.
A home health aide is typically sent by a medical agency after hospitalization or injury and is covered by Medicare for a specific recovery period. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, tailored support for dementia itself, and it's not tied to a medical event or insurance coverage. Our caregivers specialize in the behavioral and safety challenges of Alzheimer's, not physical therapy or wound care. We're here for the long journey, not the short-term recovery.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, what they respond to, what calms them, and what their triggers are. We also listen to your family's needs, your schedule, and what you're most worried about. Then we take time to match someone with the right temperament and experience. If it doesn't feel like the right fit after the first week, we'll switch. A good match takes time and honesty, and we're committed to getting it right.
We maintain a backup network of trained caregivers in the Cheshire area so you're never suddenly without coverage. If your regular person calls in sick, we notify you as early as possible and send a backup who's familiar with your parent's care plan. For planned time off, we let you know well in advance so you can adjust your own schedule or arrange backup support. Reliability matters, especially with Alzheimer's, and we take that seriously.
