You got the call from your sister after Thanksgiving dinner at the East Granby senior center, the one on Main Street where your mom used to volunteer.

Alzheimer’s Care is structured support designed for people in the early to middle stages of memory loss. It’s not medical nursing, and it’s not a part-time check-in. It’s a caregiver in your home who understands how Alzheimer’s changes behavior, routine, and safety, and who can keep things steady while you step back and breathe.
On a typical day, we help with medications on time, meals actually eaten, gentle reminders about where the bathroom is, keeping a familiar routine so your parent feels less confused and scared. We notice falls before they happen, redirect wandering with patience instead of frustration, and we recognize when something has shifted and needs attention. We also give families permission to not be the one awake at 2 a.m. worrying.
East Granby families often come to us after a discharge from Hartford Hospital or after a doctor’s appointment where the word Alzheimer’s finally landed. We’re nurse-founded, which means we hire caregivers who understand the progression, not just the tasks. That foundation changes how we listen and how we staff for your situation.
We’re nurse-founded, so we know what Alzheimer’s actually does to behavior, safety, and your family’s peace of mind. We’ve lived this with our own parents. That’s why we staff differently and we talk plainly about what’s coming next.
We don’t assign a caregiver and hope. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, and fears, and we match someone with real experience in memory care who fits your home. Before they start, we walk through the house, the routine, the worries, the wins.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When your parent has a bad day, a new behavior, or a middle-of-the-night incident, you need someone who picks up the phone. We do. And we adjust the care plan without making you ask twice.
We’re local to East Granby and Hartford County. We work with Hartford Hospital on discharges, we know the local doctors and specialists, and we understand the system here. That matters when you need coordination, not confusion.

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
We help ensure medications are taken on time, meals are eaten, hygiene happens without a battle, and your parent stays in a routine that feels safe. We watch for falls, wandering, and signs of distress. We also give your family time to work, sleep, or just step outside without the constant worry. If your parent needs a doctor's appointment, we can accompany them and relay information back to you.
We can often arrange care within a few days of discharge if you call us right away. Hartford Hospital social workers know us, and we know their discharge process. We'll coordinate with the hospital, meet your parent before care starts, and brief your caregiver on any post-hospital instructions. The faster we start, the safer the transition home.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're honest about that upfront. We can help you understand costs, explore other resources like Veterans benefits if your parent served, and work with families on a schedule that fits their budget.
Home health aides are task-focused and often covered by insurance after a hospital stay. They help with bathing and dressing. Alzheimer's Care is person-focused and trained in memory loss, behavior, safety, and keeping your parent calm and oriented. We're built for the emotional and behavioral side of Alzheimer's, not just the physical tasks.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, what frightens them, what comforts them, and what their day looked like before Alzheimer's. Then we match someone with experience in those specific areas. We don't believe one caregiver fits all Alzheimer's situations, and we take time to get it right.
We maintain a network of trained backup caregivers in East Granby and the surrounding towns. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs a day off, we don't leave you scrambling. We call ahead, brief a backup who knows your parent's situation, and keep the routine steady. You have a phone number that rings when things change.
