Alzheimer’s Care is daily support built around memory loss and the safety challenges that come with it. It’s not just helping with tasks, it’s understanding how Alzheimer’s changes what your parent can do, what they might try to do, and what they need to stay safe at home while you’re not there.
On a typical day, your caregiver keeps structure: same mealtimes, same routine, same reminders for medications. They watch for wandering or confusion around the stove. They notice if your parent is getting lost in familiar rooms or repeating the same questions over and over. They document what they see, so you’re not guessing what happened while you were at work.
Many families in East Hampton contact us right after a Middlesex Hospital discharge, when a doctor has confirmed Alzheimer’s or mild cognitive impairment. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand the medical side of what’s happening in your parent’s brain, not just the day-to-day care. That difference shows up in how we catch changes early and know when to flag something for their doctor.
Our founder is a registered nurse who managed Alzheimer’s cases for years before starting this agency. That means your parent’s caregiver isn’t learning Alzheimer’s on the job, they’re trained to spot what matters: medication confusion, sleep changes, signs of agitation or wandering that needs a different approach. You get someone who sees the progression coming.
We don’t assign the first available person. We listen to what your parent is like, what your family needs, and who will click with both of you. Once we match a caregiver, we keep them with you because consistency is how your parent stays calm and safe.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your caregiver notices your parent is having a harder day or you need to adjust hours, you can reach us and we respond. We’re not a call center in another state, we’re local and we know your parent matters.
We work with families before and after Middlesex Hospital stays. We know the discharge process, we know what questions doctors wish families would ask, and we’re ready to step in the day your parent comes home, whether that’s days or weeks after a hospital stay.

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
Your caregiver arrives at the same time each morning and keeps the day structured: breakfast at a set time, medications reminded and watched, activities or gentle movement, lunch, checks for wandering or confusion, dinner, and evening routine. They're documenting what they see, staying alert for safety around stairs or the stove, and keeping your parent engaged in ways that work with their memory, not against it. They're also a buffer between your parent and chaos, which quiets a lot of the agitation and anxiety that comes with Alzheimer's.
If you contact us before your parent leaves the hospital, we can often be in place the day they come home. We've worked with Middlesex Hospital discharge planners and we know what they need from us. If you call after discharge, we move fast because we understand that the first week home is when most families are running on fumes. We'll do an intake call the same day, match a caregiver within a day or two, and be there.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Most insurance plans, including Medicare, only cover skilled nursing or rehabilitation, not the kind of daily care and supervision that Alzheimer's really needs. We work with families on flexible scheduling and hours so you can find what fits your budget, and we can help you think through how to make it work. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and we can bill that directly.
A home health aide is sent by an agency that gets a referral from a doctor, and they're trained for basic help with bathing and dressing. Alzheimer's Care is specialized. Our caregivers understand memory loss, they know how to redirect confusion without frustration, they watch for safety risks that matter specifically to Alzheimer's like wandering or getting lost in the house, and they're trained to notice when something is changing. The difference is in the training and the focus.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent, what they're like on good days and harder days, what calms them, what upsets them, and what your family's real stress points are. We listen to whether your parent does better with a morning person, what kind of personality works, and whether they need someone with extra Alzheimer's experience. We match for fit, not just availability. If it's not right after a few weeks, we adjust.
We have backups trained on your parent's routine so there's never a day without care. We give you notice if we know ahead of time, and we loop in the backup so they're not walking in cold. Your parent does best with consistency, so we protect that as much as we can. If your regular caregiver gets sick or needs a day, you know care is covered.
