Alzheimer’s Care means we show up ready to handle what the disease actually does. We’re not just helping with bathing and meals, though we do that. We’re watching for the patterns of progression, keeping routines steady so your parent has anchors in their day, and staying alert to the safety risks that come with wandering or confusion. We’re also giving you a break from the weight of it, because exhaustion makes everything harder.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with personal care, prepare meals, manage medications, take walks, and redirect when confusion or agitation shows up. They notice when appetite changes, when sleep patterns shift, when your parent repeats the same story or becomes anxious about a task they used to do easily. They document these changes and keep you informed so you’re never surprised.
Many Colebrook families come to us after a stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, where doctors have confirmed Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression in a way that goes beyond task lists. We know why structure matters, how to prevent falls, and how to recognize when your parent needs a doctor visit before a crisis happens.
Being nurse-founded means we’ve seen Alzheimer’s progression from the clinical side and the family side. We know how structure prevents confusion, why wandering safety matters, and how fast exhaustion can break down even the most committed caregiver. We don’t use empty language about it, because this is real.
We don’t just send someone. We listen to what your parent is like, what routines matter, what triggers anxiety. Then we match a caregiver who gets it, brief them thoroughly, and stay in close contact as your parent’s needs change. You’re not managing a stranger in your home, you’re working with someone we’ve trained and vetted.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When you need to adjust hours, change approach, or talk through what you’re seeing, you reach us directly. We’re here to problem-solve with you, not hand you a phone tree.
We know the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge process, the doctors here, the roads in Colebrook and the surrounding towns. We’re not parachuting in from somewhere else. We’re here, and we show up 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.
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
A caregiver comes to your home for the hours you arrange. They help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, and medications. They keep your parent engaged with activities, manage bathroom needs, and watch for falls or safety issues. They also stay alert to the behavioral and emotional changes that come with progression, redirecting confusion calmly and documenting what they see. If your parent wanders or becomes agitated, they know how to respond without panic.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. When Charlotte Hungerford Hospital calls us, or when your discharge planner recommends us, we move fast. We'll visit to meet your parent, understand the discharge instructions, and get a trained caregiver in place before you're overwhelmed. If you need care sooner, we'll find a way.
Alzheimer's Care through us is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of support for dementia at home. That said, we're transparent about cost from the start, and we can talk through how families often pay for this, including long-term care insurance if you have it. We work with what's real for your budget.
A home health aide typically comes after a medical event, for a set period, and focuses on physical tasks. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing and specialized for dementia. We're trained in progression, behavioral changes, wandering safety, and how to keep structure when memory is failing. We're also here for the long term, not just the recovery phase. We understand the disease in ways that matter.
Yes. We listen to what your parent is like, their personality, their fears, what routines calm them. Do they need someone patient with repetition? Someone who can manage a parent who's angry or withdrawn? Someone who knows dementia care? We match based on fit, not just availability. Then we train that caregiver on your parent's specific needs before they ever show up.
We have backup. When your regular caregiver can't make a shift, we cover it with someone we've already vetted and trained, not a stranger. We'll let you know as soon as we know, and we'll make sure there's continuity. Your parent won't wake up to someone completely new without warning.
