Your sister noticed something at Thanksgiving, back in November. Your parent was repeating the same story, losing track of medication bottles on the kitchen counter near the old Clinton train station area where they used to walk. By January, you were getting calls at work because your parent had wandered out in the cold and a neighbor found them confused two blocks from home. That’s when you knew you couldn’t manage this alone anymore.

Alzheimer’s Care means we show up with a different kind of training. We watch for the early signs of wandering, we help keep your parent on a medication schedule when memory slips, we create routines that feel safe instead of scary. We’re not here to do everything for your parent, we’re here to slow the pace of confusion and give you a break from the constant vigilance.
On a typical day, this looks like helping your parent get dressed, reminding them about meals and water, sitting with them during the parts of the day when sundowning hits hardest, and spotting safety risks before they become emergencies. We notice when your parent hasn’t eaten, when they’re asking the same question, when they’re frustrated because they can’t find their glasses. We stay calm. We don’t argue about what year it is.
If your parent was discharged from Middlesex Hospital recently, or if a doctor’s visit made it clear that Alzheimer’s is progressing, we know this transition well. We’ve worked with families across Middlesex County right after a hospital stay. Because we were founded by a nurse who lived through this with her own family, we understand what you actually need, not just what sounds good on paper.
Our founder was a nurse who watched her own parent move through Alzheimer’s. That’s why we don’t use language that feels hollow. We know the difference between good intentions and actual help. We know what it feels like to be exhausted, and we show up with that understanding built in.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to your parent’s personality, what makes them feel safe, whether they need someone quieter or someone who talks through tasks. We brief every caregiver on the specific details of your parent’s day, their triggers, what works.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a predictable schedule. If your caregiver notices something changing, or if you need to adjust hours because your parent isn’t sleeping well, you can reach us. We’re not a distant service. We’re local and we stay involved.
We’ve worked with Middlesex Hospital discharge teams, we know the neighborhoods of Clinton, we understand the rhythm of care here. We’re not learning your area while your parent’s safety is at stake. We already know the routes, the resources, the local doctors.

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. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We're there to help with the parts of the day that become confusing: getting up, breakfast, medications, activities that feel purposeful, lunch, the difficult afternoon or evening hours. We keep track of what your parent ate and drank. We watch for signs of pain or infection your parent might not be able to report. We maintain routines so the day feels less chaotic. We don't do heavy housekeeping, but we keep the space safe and do light tidying around care tasks.
We can often start within days of a referral. Once you reach out, we listen to what the hospital said, what the doctor recommended, and what you actually need. We'll meet with your parent and you to understand the situation. If Middlesex Hospital sends discharge paperwork, we review it carefully. Speed matters, but the right match matters more, so we move quickly without rushing the process.
We operate as private pay care, which means Medicare and most insurance don't cover Alzheimer's Care through us. What this actually means is you pay directly for the hours we work. We're transparent about rates and can discuss options that fit your budget. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or work with a care manager. We're honest: this is an investment in your parent's safety and your own rest.
A home health aide typically comes after a medical event, for a set number of weeks, through a medical agency. Alzheimer's Care is different because it's ongoing, it's built specifically for cognitive decline, and we don't clock out of engagement when therapy notes are done. We stay with your parent through the slower, longer progression of the disease. We're trained to recognize Alzheimer's behaviors, not just assist with physical tasks.
Yes. We listen to how your parent was before Alzheimer's, what made them feel respected, whether they need someone steady and quiet or someone who engages more. We ask what frightens them, what routines they remember, whether they prefer a man or woman caregiver. We brief the caregiver thoroughly on your parent's personality and history. We're not assigning someone randomly. We're building a match we think will work.
We have backup coverage so your parent isn't left without care. We let you know as early as possible if someone can't make a shift. We work to send someone your parent knows, not a stranger. If your parent's needs are very specific or your parent struggles with transitions, we'll talk through what backup looks like. We keep your schedule as consistent as we can while having a plan for the days we can't.
