Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured support that meets your parent where they are in the disease, whether that’s early memory loss or advanced care needs. It’s not just supervision, it’s understanding the progression itself, keeping a routine when routine is what holds things steady, and watching for the safety issues that come up without warning.
Day-to-day, that looks like medication reminders that actually stick, meal preparation and encouragement to eat, helping with bathing and dressing when those tasks become confusing, keeping an eye on wandering and falls, and creating an environment where your parent feels less anxious. You’ll see a caregiver who knows your parent’s triggers and rhythms, who can redirect gently instead of forcing, and who isn’t exhausted because they’re supported by us.
In Enfield, many families come to us after a hospital stay or a diagnosis conversation with their doctor. Hartford Hospital often recommends follow-up care at home, and we’re local enough to know exactly what that discharge looks like and what you’ll actually need. Because we were founded by a nurse, we understand Alzheimer’s from the inside, not just from a training manual.
A nurse founded this agency because she lived it with her own family. That means we don’t treat Alzheimer’s Care as just companionship, we treat it as the complex, changing situation it actually is. We’re looking at structure, safety, and how to ease the exhaustion you’re carrying.
We don’t send whoever is available. We listen to your parent’s personality, your family’s needs, and the specific phase of Alzheimer’s you’re in, then we match a caregiver and brief them thoroughly. That person stays with your family, learns your routines, and becomes someone your parent recognizes and trusts.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If something changes, if a medication isn’t working, if a new behavior shows up at 2 a.m., you need someone who answers the phone and actually knows your situation. That’s how we work.
We know Enfield streets, we know Hartford Hospital’s process, and we know the local doctors and pharmacies your parent sees. That local knowledge means faster response and fewer missed details when care coordination matters most.

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
A typical day includes helping with personal care like bathing and grooming, preparing meals and making sure your parent eats, giving medication reminders, managing the home environment to keep it safe, watching for wandering or falls, and sometimes just sitting together in a way that keeps your parent calm and oriented. We're there to reduce confusion, create structure, and give you a break so you can actually rest. The specifics change as Alzheimer's progresses, and we adjust with your parent's needs.
We typically can start within a few days of your call. After a Hartford Hospital discharge, you'll have paperwork and instructions, and we integrate into that plan right away. If there's urgency, we move fast. We'll do an intake call with you, ask about your parent's routines and personality, and get a caregiver scheduled before you're juggling care alone.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We know that's a difficult conversation. What it means for you is that we can focus on what your parent actually needs instead of what insurance will allow. We work with families on scheduling and frequency so it fits your situation and your budget.
A home health aide does personal care and basic assistance, and they're often assigned through medical necessity after a hospital stay. Alzheimer's Care is different because the caregiver is specifically trained in dementia behavior, progression, and how to respond when memory loss creates fear or confusion. We're looking at the whole picture of what Alzheimer's means for your family, not just the physical tasks.
Yes. We listen to who your parent is, what they like, how they react to change, and what matters most to your family right now. Then we find someone whose personality and experience fit. If it's not right after the first week, we talk about it and adjust. That match is everything in Alzheimer's Care, because your parent's comfort depends on it.
We have backup coverage so you're not suddenly without care. We'll call you first if something changes, and we'll send someone you've met before if possible. We know how important consistency is when your parent has memory loss, so we take coverage seriously and plan ahead. You won't be scrambling at the last minute.
