Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone in early to mid-stage memory loss. We help with reminders about meals, medications, and daily routines. We watch for safety issues, especially wandering, and we keep things predictable so your parent feels less confused and afraid.
On a typical day, your caregiver might help with bathing and dressing, prepare meals you’ve planned together, take a walk to keep your parent engaged, and check in on medications. We keep notes so you know what happened while you were working or sleeping. We’re looking for patterns, too, like whether your parent is eating enough or if they’re anxious at certain times.
A lot of Granby families come to us after Hartford Hospital discharge, when the real weight of full-time care hits. Our founder was a nurse, and that matters here, because we understand Alzheimer’s progression in ways that generic home help doesn’t. We’re trained to spot changes early and talk you through what’s coming.
We built this service around what Alzheimer’s actually looks like at home, not around general caregiving. Our founder learned the hard way that structure and early safety planning prevent crisis. Every caregiver we send understands memory loss, not just tasks.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to what’s hardest for your family, whether that’s keeping morning routine calm, preventing wandering, or just giving you a break so you can breathe. The right match makes months of difference.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent is having a harder day or your caregiver is sick, you call us directly. We know your situation and we figure it out fast, not through a call center.
We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process and the doctors there. When you’re leaving the hospital with new questions, we’re not starting from zero. We’re already part of your parent’s care plan.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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 caregiver helps with personal care like bathing and grooming, prepares meals and reminds about eating, manages medications, and keeps a daily log. We also focus on activities that keep your parent engaged without confusion, watch for safety hazards like stove use or wandering, and help with light housekeeping. The schedule and tasks change as Alzheimer's progresses, and we adjust with your parent's needs.
We can often start within a few days of discharge. Once you call us, we ask about your parent's behavior, memory loss, safety concerns, and what you need most. We then match a caregiver and do a home visit together so everyone knows what to expect. If it's urgent, we expedite the process.
Alzheimer's Care is typically private pay. Medicare and most insurance cover skilled nursing or physical therapy after hospitalization, but not ongoing memory care in the home. We can discuss rates and what different weekly schedules cost. Some families use long-term care insurance or savings for this.
A home health aide helps with activities of daily living after an injury or surgery, usually short-term and often covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care is specialized for progressive memory loss. Our caregivers understand sundowning, wandering, repetitive behavior, and how to keep someone safe and calm as the disease changes. It's a different skill set entirely.
Yes. We listen to what matters most, whether that's a calm morning routine, someone who can handle wandering safely, or a caregiver with experience with a certain type of behavior. We also consider personality fit. A good match means your parent is more comfortable and you're more confident. We'll do a trial period to make sure it's working.
We call you immediately and find a backup from our network. You're not left scrambling. We know Alzheimer's means your parent does better with familiar faces, so we try to use the same backups when possible. We always make sure you approve whoever comes to your home.
