Your mom called you three times on a Sunday morning, each time asking where her keys were, even though she hadn’t driven in months. By the time you drove out to Farmington to check on her, you found her confused about what year it was, and you realized this wasn’t just forgetfulness anymore. That afternoon, sitting in her living room near the community center on Main Street, you knew you needed real help with Alzheimer’s Care, not just a checking-in visit once a week.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured, supervised support that meets your parent where they are in the disease. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s informed by what Alzheimer’s actually does to memory, routine, safety, and behavior. We help with the daily rhythm that keeps your parent calmer, safer, and less likely to wander or get stuck in confusion loops.
On a typical day, our caregivers handle meals, medication reminders, light activity, toileting, and keeping your parent engaged and oriented. They also watch for the small changes that matter, like a new habit, a fall risk you didn’t notice, or a shift in mood. Families tell us they finally sleep through the night again, or they stop checking their phone every five minutes.
After a Hartford Hospital discharge or a doctor’s appointment where Alzheimer’s was named, families in Farmington reach out to us because we’re local and because we’re nurse-founded. That means our caregivers understand progression, not just tasks. We’re not replacing what you do. We’re taking the weight off so you can be a son or daughter again instead of running on empty.
We started this because we’ve lived Alzheimer’s families. Our caregivers know what to watch for as the disease moves through stages, and they know how to respond to wandering, sundowning, and the sudden anger that comes out of nowhere. You’re not training someone to be a sitter. You’re hiring someone who understands what’s actually happening.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to your parent’s personality, history, and what triggered their confusion, then match a caregiver we think will click with them. We brief that person thoroughly on your specific concerns, whether it’s keeping structure, preventing wandering, or just giving you space to breathe.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stay the same week to week. When your parent gets worse, or a caregiver doesn’t work out, or you suddenly need more hours, you reach us directly. We’re local, we pick up the phone, and we adjust without making you feel like you’re being difficult.
We work with families across Farmington, Avon, West Hartford, and Newington. We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, and we can start care quickly after a diagnosis or a hospital stay. Being here in your county means we understand your community and the resources you actually use.

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
Our caregivers help with breakfast and lunch, remind about medications, keep your parent dressed and washed, and engage them in light activity or just sitting together. They also watch for falls, keep the house safe, and notice if your parent is more confused or agitated than usual. We're there to maintain routine, which is what Alzheimer's brains need most. You're not paying for a nurse, but you're getting someone trained to recognize when your parent needs a nurse.
We can usually start within a few days of your call. We'll talk to you and often to the hospital discharge planner, get a clear picture of your parent's condition and your biggest worries, then match and brief a caregiver. If the discharge is sudden or you need immediate coverage, call us directly and we'll move fast.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy after a hospital stay, but not the ongoing support and supervision that Alzheimer's really needs. We work with families to build a schedule that fits their budget, whether that's a few hours a week or full-time. Some families use long-term care insurance. We'll help you understand what makes sense.
A home health aide typically comes after a medical event and handles personal care tasks. Alzheimer's Care is different because it focuses on keeping structure, preventing wandering, managing confusion and behavior, and watching for changes in the disease. Our caregivers are trained in Alzheimer's specifically, not just bathing and dressing. We're also available long-term, not just for a few weeks of post-hospital recovery.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what calms them, what upsets them, whether they're a talker or quiet, and what you're most afraid of. Then we match a caregiver we think will be a good fit and brief them on everything that matters. We're not saying it's perfect every time, but we're intentional about it, not random.
We line up a backup we've already told your parent about and briefed on their routine. If that person isn't available either, we bring in someone else with notice, not a stranger walking in unannounced. We also talk to you directly if there's a gap, so you can plan. We're not leaving you scrambling.
