Your mother used to call you every Sunday from her Eastford home, and now you’re realizing she hasn’t picked up the phone in three days. Last week at Thanksgiving dinner near the Eastford Elementary School area, you watched her repeat the same story four times, and your brother pulled you aside with worry in his eyes. When the call finally came from her neighbor on Westford Road, it wasn’t an emergency, just a gentle heads-up that something wasn’t quite right. That’s when you knew you needed more than occasional visits.

Alzheimer’s Care isn’t about medical appointments or wound care. It’s about showing up consistently as your parent’s memory shifts, handling the daily rhythm of life when they can’t, and keeping them safe when confusion sets in. Our caregivers understand that Alzheimer’s progresses unevenly, and what works today might need adjusting tomorrow.
On any given day, this means helping with bathing and dressing, managing meals when appetite changes, staying alert if your parent wants to wander, handling medications, keeping routines steady, and watching for signs of distress you might miss. It means your parent isn’t alone during the hours that worry you most, and you’re not fielding calls from neighbors anymore. Families tell us the weight lifts when they know someone trained is actually there, not just checking in.
If your parent is coming home from Day Kimball Hospital after a fall or a health scare, or if you’ve been managing care yourself and you’re running on empty, we start from where you are right now. We were founded by nurses who’ve sat in your kitchen and heard the exhaustion in your voice, and that shapes how we listen and match caregivers who can handle Alzheimer’s with patience and real skill.
Alzheimer’s isn’t a straight line, and we don’t treat it like one. Our caregivers are trained to recognize early signs, adjust routines as needs change, and keep your parent as safe and dignified as possible through each stage.
We don’t assign a caregiver randomly. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, what calms them, and what triggers upset. We brief caregivers thoroughly and stay in touch so you’re never wondering if they really understand what they’re walking into.
Alzheimer’s Care needs don’t wait for business hours. You can reach us when your parent’s behavior changes, when a caregiver calls with a question, or when you need to adjust the plan. We’re not just a booking service.
We know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process, we understand Eastford’s neighborhoods from Woodstock to Pomfret, and we show up in person. That matters when you need someone you can actually meet and trust.

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 bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. We manage meals and medications, keep track of what your parent eats and any changes in behavior or mood. We also manage the structure of the day, help redirect if your parent wants to wander unsafely, and stay alert for signs of pain or confusion. We document what we see so you and any doctors have real information about what's happening.
If you call us while your parent is still at Day Kimball, we can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. We work directly with the hospital's discharge team to get the medical details and understand what happened. The sooner we connect after a health event, the better we can prevent another one and keep your parent stable at home.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay because it's custodial and long-term, not skilled nursing. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover daily personal care and supervision, even though that's what Alzheimer's requires. We work with families on what they can afford and can sometimes help coordinate other resources, but we're honest that this isn't covered care.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours per week on a doctor's order and focuses on medical recovery or wound care. Alzheimer's Care is consistent, ongoing support with someone who knows your parent and their patterns over weeks and months. We're not here for rehabilitation, we're here for the long road, and we build relationships with both your parent and your family.
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they respond to, whether they prefer men or women, morning or evening shifts, and what their biggest challenges are. We then match someone with Alzheimer's experience who fits that profile. If the fit isn't right after a week or two, we adjust.
We maintain a backup team so your parent doesn't miss a day. We let you know as soon as we know there's a change, and we brief the backup caregiver on what that person needs and likes. It's not ideal, but it beats the panic of scrambling for coverage yourself.
