Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone whose memory and daily functioning are changing. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the presence and routine that slows the visible decline and keeps your parent safe when you can’t be there. We’re talking about someone who watches for the moments of confusion, who knows how to redirect without argument, who can spot when medications were skipped or when a fall happened.
On any given day, your caregiver is managing medication reminders, helping with bathing and dressing, keeping meals on a schedule, watching for wandering behaviors, and maintaining the kind of calm routine that actually makes a difference in how someone with Alzheimer’s moves through the day. Families tell us the relief is immediate, not just because tasks get done, but because they stop getting those middle-of-the-night calls.
After discharge from Yale New Haven Hospital, many families in East Haven come to us because they see the gap between what their parent needs and what they can provide alone. Our founders are nurses, so we understand Alzheimer’s progression like caregivers do, not like administrators do. We know what structure looks like, what wandering safety actually requires, and what happens when a family is running on empty.
Our team started in home care because we saw families drowning in the early and middle stages of Alzheimer’s. We know the difference between keeping someone safe and just going through the motions. That experience shapes every match we make.
We don’t send whoever is available. We listen to what your parent responds to, what they’ve done their whole life, what makes them feel steady. We brief your caregiver on their specific progression, their triggers, their better times of day.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When your parent’s needs shift or a crisis happens at 6 AM, you reach us. We answer, we listen, and we have people ready to adjust within hours, not days.
We know East Haven and the surrounding towns. We work regularly with Yale New Haven Hospital’s discharge process and we understand the specific resources available here. That matters when you’re coordinating care.

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 and helps with the morning routine, making sure medications are taken and breakfast happens. They keep the environment calm and predictable. During the day, they're watching for wandering, managing confusion without argument, keeping meals on track, and maintaining activities your parent can still do. They're documenting what they see so you and doctors know what's really happening. It's supervision, structure, and the kind of presence that stops the tailspin.
We typically start within 2-3 business days of your first call. We'll schedule a brief assessment, match you with a caregiver who has Alzheimer's experience, and do a full briefing so they understand your parent's specific situation. If there's urgency, we can sometimes move faster. Call us the day you know discharge is coming.
We're private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this kind of care, which is why many families haven't planned for it. It's important to talk to us directly about cost and what fits your budget. We're upfront about pricing, and we can sometimes work with what families can afford.
A home health aide is often task-focused and may be ordered by a doctor for a specific medical condition. Alzheimer's Care is about understanding the disease itself, the progression, the behavioral changes, and the safety management that prevents crisis. Our caregivers are trained in dementia specifically. They know how to respond to confusion, sundowning, and wandering in ways that home health aides typically aren't equipped to handle.
Yes. We don't do generic matching. We ask about your parent's history, what makes them feel safe, what they respond to, and what their early signs of distress look like. We use that to find someone who fits, not just someone available. If the fit isn't right after a trial period, we'll make a change.
We have backup caregivers we've already vetted and briefed on common situations. We'll call you as soon as we know about an absence, confirm your parent's schedule with you, and send someone trained in Alzheimer's Care to keep continuity. We don't leave families scrambling at the last minute.
