You got the call from your sister after she visited at Thanksgiving, and her voice was different, careful.

Alzheimer’s Care is about understanding the progression. It means caregivers trained to recognize what’s happening at each stage, to anticipate confusion before it becomes dangerous, and to help your parent stay oriented through structure, routine, and familiarity. It’s not just assistance with daily tasks, it’s knowing how to respond when someone asks the same question five times in an hour, or wanders toward a door at 3 a.m.
On any given day, your caregiver is managing medication timing, preparing meals your parent will actually eat, keeping the house safe from fall hazards, monitoring for behavioral changes, and watching for signs of infection or distress that might not show up as obvious symptoms. You get the space to step away, to sleep through the night, to handle the rest of your life. That breathing room is not a luxury, it’s what keeps families from breaking.
After a Middlesex Hospital discharge or during a diagnosis, you’re often sent home with incomplete information and a list of resources that don’t quite fit. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how to read discharge paperwork, coordinate with your parent’s medical team, and catch problems early because we know what to look for. We’re also in Middlesex County, we know the local system, and we’ve placed caregivers in Cromwell homes for years.
Alzheimer’s moves differently in every person, and you need someone who recognizes that. Our caregivers are trained to spot the shifts, to adjust routines when something stops working, and to keep your parent safe as the disease changes. We’re not guessing, we’ve been through this.
We spend time understanding your parent’s history, personality, what makes them feel secure, and what triggers confusion or anxiety. Then we match carefully, because the right person in your home changes everything. A caregiver isn’t interchangeable, and we know that.
Alzheimer’s Care doesn’t follow business hours. When your parent’s behavior changes, when you’re scared, when you need to adjust the plan, you reach us and we respond. You’re not left figuring it out alone at night.
We know Middlesex Hospital’s discharge process, we understand the local doctors and specialists, and we’re here for the follow-up care that often gets dropped. Being local means we actually show up when we say we will.

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
Morning routine help, medication management, meal preparation and eating support, activities that keep your parent's mind engaged, monitoring for safety risks like wandering or falls, personal hygiene assistance, and companionship that counters isolation. Your caregiver keeps a log of medications, eating, mood changes, and anything that seems off. If your parent has good days and difficult days, your caregiver adjusts, stays calm, and keeps you informed.
We typically start within 48 hours if you call us before or immediately after discharge. We'll do a brief home visit to assess safety, meet your parent, and understand their specific needs. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner so we're not starting blind. Having a caregiver in place within the first week of coming home prevents a lot of the confusion and falls that happen during that vulnerable transition.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay because it's not skilled nursing, it's trained caregiving and companionship. Insurance and Medicare will cover physical therapy or nurse visits after certain events, but ongoing Alzheimer's support falls on families. We're honest about cost, we work with different schedules and budgets, and we can often help you figure out what's possible within your situation.
A home health aide provides personal care under a nurse's direction, usually after hospitalization, and usually for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care is specialized, ongoing support for someone whose primary issue is cognitive decline, not recovery from an acute event. Our caregivers understand behavior, confusion, repetition, and safety risks in ways a general home health aide might not. It's a different skill set.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, fears, preferences, and what kind of person they respond to. We match for experience with Alzheimer's progression, for temperament fit, and for practical things like language, availability, and whether a man or woman matters to your parent. We don't just send whoever is available.
We have a backup plan. We maintain a roster of caregivers trained in your parent's specific needs and history, so if your regular person is sick or has an emergency, we can cover. We notify you in advance if possible, we brief any backup person thoroughly, and we never leave you without support when we've made a commitment.
