You got the call from your sister after Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant near Southport.

Alzheimer’s Care is specialized home support for people in early, middle, or later stages of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. We’re here to manage the daily tasks, safety concerns, and structure that keep your parent stable while you stop running on empty. This isn’t nursing care, though we work closely with doctors and discharge planners. It’s someone trained in dementia who can be present, alert, and consistent.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, and medications. They keep routines steady because Alzheimer’s patients thrive on repetition. They watch for wandering, monitor for falls, and recognize when something feels off. They give you a break from the constant vigilance, and they document what they see so you and the care team stay on the same page.
Many Fairfield families come to us right after discharge from St. Vincent’s Medical Center, when the hospital social worker says your parent needs supervision at home but you can’t do it alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we hire and train people who understand Alzheimer’s progression, not just someone looking for hourly work. That foundation changes everything about how we match and support your care.
We’ve seen families run into the ground trying to manage Alzheimer’s alone. Our founders were nurses who watched relatives spiral and caregivers break. We hire people who get it, who won’t call you with a crisis every other day, and who understand that keeping structure and catching safety issues early is what actually matters.
We don’t send whoever is free. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, and needs, then match a caregiver who can build trust and keep them calm. That takes time upfront, but it means fewer transitions, fewer problems, and fewer nights you lie awake wondering if the person in your parent’s home is the right fit.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent has a hard day, a medication change, or a new concern, you reach us, not an answering service. We adjust the plan, we talk to the care team, and we stay flexible because we know this disease moves faster some weeks than others.
We know the discharge process at St. Vincent’s Medical Center. We know Fairfield’s neighborhoods, its providers, and its families. We’re not a national franchise checking boxes. We’re here, accountable, and we’ve built relationships with the people who know your parent’s medical story.

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
Your caregiver helps with personal care, hygiene, dressing, and meals. They keep a consistent routine because structure calms the Alzheimer's brain. They watch for safety issues like wandering, falls, or leaving the stove on. They remind about medications, help with light housekeeping related to your parent's care, and give you a written or verbal update on the day. Most importantly, they're present and alert, not just checking boxes.
We can often start within a few days of discharge if the need is urgent. We'll do a home visit first to understand your parent's setup, their confusion level, and what safety matters most. Then we match a caregiver and brief them on the specifics. We work with the hospital's social work team to coordinate, and we stay in touch with their discharge instructions so nothing falls through.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of supervised care unless it's ordered by a doctor as skilled nursing, which is different. We can talk with you about costs, frequency, and what makes sense for your budget. Many families start part-time while they figure out longer-term care plans.
A home health aide typically comes after a doctor prescribes skilled care, and insurance covers it. Alzheimer's Care is private pay and not medical in nature. What matters is that our Alzheimer's caregivers are trained in dementia-specific needs, not just general personal care. They understand wandering, sundowning, repetitive questions, and safety in ways that make a real difference.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, their history, what calms them, and what triggers confusion. We ask about your family's needs too. Then we find someone who fits, not just someone available. We do a meet-and-greet before care starts so your parent can adjust to the person slowly, and you can see if it's working.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We don't leave you hanging. If your regular person is sick or on vacation, we arrange a substitute and brief them on your parent's routines and quirks. For longer absences, we try to introduce a backup caregiver early so the transition is smoother when it happens.
