Alzheimer’s Care in Greenwich, CT
Specialized in-home Alzheimer's care for seniors, routine-based support, safety, and family peace of mind.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your sister noticed something was off at Thanksgiving dinner, near the Round Hill area where your parents have lived for decades. A few weeks later, their doctor confirmed what you were starting to fear. Now you’re trying to figure out how to keep them safe at home while you’re managing your own life, and the exhaustion is already setting in.
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 Greenwich
Alzheimer's usually unfolds over years, and Greenwich families tend to move through it with a parent still at home in Old Greenwich, Riverside or the back country. Of the town's roughly 12,000 residents over 65, about 2,800 live alone, and a diagnosis is often what makes that arrangement stop feeling safe.
We plan care around the stage your parent is in now and adjust as it changes: a few hours of structured company and supervision early on, more hands-on help and longer shifts in the middle stages. Southwestern Connecticut Agency on Aging (203-333-9288) runs caregiver support programs for this region, and we encourage every family to use them alongside our care. Supporting the spouse or adult child doing the most matters as much as supporting your parent.
These public resources are worth a call whether or not you hire us. They can explain town programs, benefits and transportation options.

Alzheimer’s Care is home support built specifically for memory loss and the safety concerns that come with it. We’re here to help with the things that become harder as the disease progresses, like remembering medications, keeping a routine, managing wandering behavior, and staying safe when judgment starts to slip.
On a typical day, your caregiver is watching for medication timing, keeping your parent engaged and oriented, catching falls before they happen, and maintaining the structure that Alzheimer’s patients need to feel less confused and scared. We’re also handling the things that wear families down most: being present during the repetitive questions, managing behaviors that come with confusion, and giving you actual time to breathe.
Greenwich Hospital has been a partner in our work with families coming home after diagnosis or a health event. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of Alzheimer’s progression and catch changes early, not just the personal care side. That combination makes a real difference when you need someone who can think clearly under pressure.
Our founder is a nurse who’s worked with memory loss for years. We know what to watch for at each stage, how to keep structure when confusion sets in, and how to spot safety risks before they become emergencies. We’re not learning on your parent.
We don’t just send whoever’s available. We learn about your parent’s personality, what calms them, what routines matter, and what triggers confusion. Then we find the right person and keep that relationship stable, because consistency is everything with Alzheimer’s Care.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s behavior changes, if a medication needs adjustment, if you’re worried about something, we’re reachable and we respond. You’re not navigating this alone on nights and weekends.
We work regularly with Greenwich Hospital discharge planners and local doctors. We understand the rhythms of your community and the specific challenges families face here. That local knowledge matters when you need care fast.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Alzheimer’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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 typical day includes medication reminders and supervision, meal preparation and monitoring appetite, activity and engagement to prevent wandering and confusion, help with personal hygiene and dressing, monitoring for falls and behavioral changes, and checking in on safety around the home. We're also documenting what we notice and keeping you updated so you're not surprised. The goal is keeping your parent safe, oriented, and as independent as possible while you have time to manage everything else.
We can often start the same day or within 24 hours of discharge if we have notice. Work with your hospital discharge planner to reach us early, and we'll do the intake quickly. If you're coming home on a Friday, we can be there Monday morning. The faster we start, the faster your parent settles into a routine and your own anxiety drops.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. That's because we're providing supervision and companionship alongside care, not skilled nursing. We do work with families on scheduling and rates so it fits your budget. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, but that conversation is between you and your insurance company.
A home health aide is typically ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance, but usually for a short time and focused on specific medical tasks. Alzheimer's Care is designed for the long term and focuses on the behavioral and safety pieces that come with memory loss. We're trained specifically for this disease, we match carefully, and we stay consistent with your parent. Most families need both at different times.
Yes. We talk with you first about who your parent is, what they respond to, what their day looks like, and what worries you most. Then we find someone whose personality and experience fit that picture. We do a trial period and adjust if needed. A good match isn't luck, it's work on our end, and it's why your parent actually feels safe with someone.
We cover it. We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's routine and needs so there's no missed days. We give you notice when we can and maintain consistency as much as possible. Your parent doesn't go unsupervised, and you don't get an emergency call on a Wednesday.
