Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for your parent or family member as memory loss and confusion change how they move through the day. We’re here to handle the safety pieces you can’t manage alone, keep routines steady when everything feels chaotic, and give you the breathing room you need to not lose yourself in this.
On any given day, that might look like: helping with morning routine and medication timing, keeping an eye on wandering patterns, making sure meals happen, managing the frustration that comes with memory loss, and being the calm presence when sundowning or repetition starts wearing you down. We also track what works and what doesn’t, so the structure stays consistent even as the disease shifts.
We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s progresses and why routine matters so much. If your parent has recently come home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or is facing care changes in the coming months, we know the discharge process and can step in quickly to prevent the crisis that happens when you’re suddenly alone with this.
A nurse founded this company because managing Alzheimer’s at home is not the same as general caregiving. We know what to watch for as the disease moves through different stages, how to keep your parent safe when wandering happens, and how to set up routines that actually stick. You’re not starting from scratch with someone who’s learning on the job.
We spend time understanding your parent’s habits, triggers, what time of day is hardest, and what your family actually needs from support. Then we find a caregiver who fits that picture and we brief them fully so the first day isn’t an experiment. Experience with Alzheimer’s specifically makes a real difference.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule and neither do we. When your parent’s behavior shifts or your caregiver needs to troubleshoot something in the moment, you can reach us. We’re not a voicemail service. We’re here to adjust as the disease progresses.
We work with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital’s discharge planners regularly and understand how to coordinate care when your parent is transitioning home. Being local to Goshen, Litchfield, Torrington, and the towns around you means we know the doctors, the resources, and the reality of living in this community.

Why families choose us

We build a daily structure around your parent’s rhythm — meals, walks, evenings — and protect it.

Common questions
It depends on your parent's stage and what you need most. Generally, our caregivers help with morning routine, medication reminders, meals, personal hygiene, and keeping structure through the day. They watch for wandering, manage repetitive behavior calmly, and redirect when confusion gets difficult. They also give you real-time updates on what happened, what worked, and what's changing. Nothing surprising, nothing hidden.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us as soon as you know you need help. The hospital's care coordinators know how to reach us, and we work backward from your discharge date to make sure someone is there waiting. If your parent is coming home to an empty house or to exhausted family members, we move fast.
Alzheimer's Care through our agency is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and physical therapy after hospitalization, but not ongoing memory care in the home. Long-term care insurance, veteran benefits, or Medicaid in some situations may cover portions of care, which is worth exploring with your own insurance or elder law attorney. We're honest about costs upfront and can discuss what fits your budget.
A home health aide does personal care tasks. Alzheimer's Care is personal care plus specific understanding of how memory loss changes behavior and safety. Our caregivers know how to de-escalate confusion, redirect wandering, keep routines steady despite the disease, and recognize when something is actually a medical issue versus Alzheimer's behavior. It's the difference between help and help that understands what's happening.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what triggers confusion or frustration, what time of day is hardest, whether they were social or private, how they do with structure, and what your family needs from the match. Then we find someone with Alzheimer's experience who fits that picture, not just the first available person. The first week matters more than you'd think.
We have backup caregivers we work with regularly, and we brief them on your parent's routine before anything happens. We don't leave you scrambling. If your primary caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we've already lined up someone who knows the situation and can step in. Consistency is important with Alzheimer's, so we take this seriously.
