Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone whose memory and thinking are changing. We’re talking about the progression from forgetting names to not recognizing rooms, from repeating questions to becoming unsafe around the stove or wandering outside at 2 a.m. Our caregivers show up knowing what they’re looking at, what comes next, and how to slow the panic that comes with it.
On any given day, your caregiver helps with medication reminders, meal prep, bathing, dressing, and the constant redirection that Alzheimer’s demands. They keep routines that matter, watch for falls or unsafe behavior, and give you a break from the weight of being alert every single moment. They’re also looking for changes you should know about, because Alzheimer’s progression isn’t a straight line.
After discharge from William W. Backus Hospital or a diagnosis from your doctor here in New London County, Alzheimer’s Care becomes the bridge between medical appointments and home life. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand disease progression, medication timing, and when something looks wrong. That background changes how we show up for your family.
Nurse-founded means we’ve seen what Alzheimer’s actually does, stage by stage. We know wandering safety isn’t about locks alone, it’s about routine and redirection. We know the exhaustion you’re carrying isn’t weakness, it’s real.
We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific needs, habits, triggers, and what structure looks like in your home. The right match changes everything. We listen to what you’ve learned and build on it.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. We answer when you call with a concern, when behavior changes overnight, when you need advice at 3 a.m. You’re not starting over with a new company each time something changes.
We know Griswold, Plainfield, Sterling, and the discharge process at William W. Backus Hospital. That local knowledge means faster starts, caregiver continuity, and a team that understands your community’s resources.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver arrives at a set time and helps with medications, meals, hygiene, and dressing. They watch for safety hazards, redirect if your parent becomes confused or agitated, and keep routines that matter. They also keep an eye on mood changes, appetite, sleep, and anything that looks different. At the end of each shift, you hear what happened and what to watch for.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you reach out right away. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner, get your parent's medical information, and brief your caregiver on exactly what they're walking into. The faster we start, the safer the transition home.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover this level of behavioral and safety support for memory loss. We understand this is expensive, and we're honest about costs upfront. Some families use long-term care insurance, savings, or Medicaid, depending on their situation.
Home health aides provide personal care after an injury or surgery, usually with a doctor's order and insurance coverage. Alzheimer's Care is deeper. Our caregivers understand disease progression, recognize when behavior is a symptom, know how to redirect safely, and stay alert for medical changes. They're also trained for the specific exhaustion families face.
Yes. We spend time understanding your parent's personality, habits, what calms them, what triggers frustration, and what a good day looks like. We find a caregiver who fits that picture and who has real experience with Alzheimer's progression. A bad match wastes everyone's time. We get it right.
We have backup caregivers on our roster who are briefed and ready. We don't leave you scrambling. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we fill the shift with someone trained in Alzheimer's Care who knows your family and your home. Consistency matters, and we protect it.
