You noticed it at Thanksgiving dinner near the Silver Lane bridge, when your mom asked the same question three times in ten minutes. Your sister pulled you aside afterward, hands shaking a little, saying she’d been getting calls at odd hours. By the time your dad admitted he wasn’t sure how to manage her medications anymore, you knew something had to change, and fast.

Alzheimer’s Care is home support built specifically for memory loss and the changes that come with it. We’re not here to treat the disease itself, but to keep your parent safe, maintain routines that help them stay oriented, and watch for the things that shift week to week as Alzheimer’s progresses.
Day-to-day, this means helping with meals, medications, personal care, and the kind of structured activities that keep anxiety down. It means staying alert for wandering, responding calmly when your parent repeats the same worry, and giving you a break when family exhaustion has hit its limit. We keep a close eye on safety around the house, too, because fall risk and confusion go hand in hand.
Many East Hartford families come to us after discharge from Hartford Hospital, when a doctor has said your parent needs more support at home than you can manage alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand Alzheimer’s progression in real terms, not just theory. We know what questions to ask and what changes matter.
Our founder is a nurse who spent years in memory care. We understand the exhaustion that sets in when you’re managing medication schedules, wandering risk, and your own worry all at once. That experience shapes how we staff Alzheimer’s Care and what we actually pay attention to.
We don’t send the first available caregiver. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, and what helps them feel safe. Then we match someone with the experience and temperament to build trust. That difference shows up in how your parent responds and how you can finally breathe.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a straight line. We’re reachable when things shift, when your parent’s needs change, or when you need to talk through what’s normal versus what’s a real concern. You don’t have to figure it out alone.
We know East Hartford neighborhoods, Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, and the doctors and facilities families here actually use. That local knowledge helps us move faster and understand your parent’s situation from day one.

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 typical day includes help with breakfast and medications, personal care and grooming, structured activity or quiet time depending on your parent's needs, lunch, and monitoring for any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood. Our caregiver keeps the same routine most days, because routine is anchoring when memory is slipping. They watch for falls, wandering, and signs that medication isn't working as it should. Evening care might include dinner prep, a calm wind-down, and making sure your parent is safe for the night.
We aim to start within a few days of a Hartford Hospital discharge. Our nurse-founder relationship with local hospital teams helps us get the discharge paperwork and medication list right away. We'll do a brief home visit to understand your parent's layout, confirm what support they actually need, and match the right caregiver. If your parent is on a tighter timeline, we'll prioritize getting someone in place fast, even if we fine-tune the match over the first week.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance won't cover it because we're supporting your parent's daily living and safety, not providing skilled nursing or therapy. We work with many families who have long-term care insurance or use a combination of savings and family resources. We're transparent about cost from the start and can discuss scheduling options that fit your budget.
A home health aide typically comes through a medical agency and focuses on personal care tasks under a nurse's supervision for a limited number of hours. Alzheimer's Care is different because we're matching someone specifically trained to understand memory loss, wandering risk, and the emotional changes that come with it. We can offer longer hours or full-time support, and we're focused on keeping your parent safe and managing the day-to-day challenges of Alzheimer's, not just bathing and dressing.
Yes. Before we place anyone, we talk with you about your parent's personality, what comforts them, their habits, and any behaviors that are hardest to manage. We listen for what kind of person your parent actually responds to. Then we match someone with Alzheimer's experience who fits that picture. It's not a perfect science, but this approach works far better than just assigning whoever is available.
We keep a local backup network so your parent has consistent care even when your regular caregiver is sick or takes time off. We'll call you right away if there's a change. If it's a long-term absence, we'll work with you to find another caregiver who knows your parent's routine and can step in with minimal disruption. We don't leave you scrambling.
