Your sister called after visiting at Thanksgiving, worried about things she noticed. Your parent’s medication bottles weren’t organized the way they used to be, and the house near the Glastonbury Green felt different, quieter. You know something’s changing, and you’re not sure what comes next.
Wondering what comes next? Our nurse-written guide explains how long each of the 7 stages of Alzheimer's lasts and when families usually bring in home care.
Alzheimer’s Care in Glastonbury
Of Glastonbury's roughly 7,400 seniors, nearly 2,000 live alone. An Alzheimer's diagnosis often changes that arrangement, but not always right away. Many families start with a few hours of support a week and add more as needs change.
We build care in stages: companionship, reminders and supervision early on, then personal care and longer shifts, and eventually overnight support. Manchester Memorial Hospital is about six miles from the center of town and Hartford Hospital about eight. North Central Area Agency on Aging (860-724-6443) runs caregiver support programs we recommend to every Glastonbury family.
These public resources are worth a call whether or not you hire us. They can explain town programs, benefits and transportation options.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is home support built around memory loss and the safety changes that come with it. We’re here during the hours when your parent needs structure, reminders, and someone who understands wandering, medication timing, and the daily routines that keep things steady.
Day-to-day, this looks like helping with medications at the right times, keeping meals regular, staying alert to safety around the house, and giving your parent something predictable to hold onto. We also watch for the small changes, the things families worry about at 2 a.m. because they’re trying to manage a job and caregiving at the same time.
Many families in Glastonbury come to us after a doctor’s appointment or a hospital stay, sometimes after a discharge from Hartford Hospital when it becomes clear that Alzheimer’s needs more than a visiting nurse. We were founded by a nurse who’s been in Alzheimer’s homes and knows the difference between helping someone with recovery and helping someone live well with progression.
Our founder is a nurse who’s walked families through this. We don’t use buzzwords about Alzheimer’s because we’ve lived the real questions: how do you keep someone safe when they wander, how do you hold structure when memory is shifting, and how do you help a family that’s running on empty.
When we place a caregiver, we’re not just filling a schedule. We brief them on your parent’s patterns, preferences, and what safety looks like in your home. Then we stay close and adjust if something isn’t working.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow office hours. When your parent has a harder day or a new symptom shows up, you can reach us. We’re not a call center passing you around.
We work with Hartford Hospital and know the discharge process. We’re close enough to Glastonbury that we can move fast when a family needs us, and we understand the specific resources in this area.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised by a nurse-founded team, and we stay involved long after the first shift.
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, and 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. We match each caregiver personally and work to keep the same caregiver with your family whenever we can.
Common questions
A caregiver comes for the hours you arrange, helps with breakfast or lunch, oversees medications, and keeps your parent engaged in familiar activities. They watch for signs of distress or confusion, make sure the house is safe, and remind about bathroom routines and hydration. They're also there to give you a break, which matters more than people admit when you're the main person holding things together.
We usually can begin within 48 hours if you call us right away. If you're still at Hartford Hospital or in a discharge meeting, let us know and we'll coordinate directly with the hospital team. The sooner we know what your parent needs, the sooner we can have someone in the home to make the transition smoother.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover in-home care for memory loss unless there's also a medical condition being treated, like wound care or physical therapy. We're honest about cost because families deserve to plan without surprises.
A home health aide typically comes for recovery after surgery or illness, covered by insurance and ordered by a doctor. Alzheimer's Care is longer-term support for memory loss and behavioral changes, focused on safety and routine rather than medical recovery. Our caregivers are trained in how memory loss changes behavior and what helps.
Yes. We listen to what matters, whether that's someone calm and quiet, or someone who can engage with your parent in activities they still enjoy. We talk to you about personality, experience with Alzheimer's, and what a typical day looks like in your home. Then we find someone who fits.
We have a backup process. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we contact our team and place someone you've already met if possible, or brief them fully on your parent's needs. We don't leave families scrambling because we know how hard it is to find coverage on short notice.
