Your sister noticed something off during the holiday dinner at your Groton home, the way your parent repeated the same story three times in an hour. You’d been handling it alone for months, but seeing it through her eyes made it real. A call came days later from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital’s discharge team, and suddenly the question wasn’t if you needed help, it was how fast you could get it.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is about showing up every day and keeping your parent safe as the disease changes how they think, remember, and move through the world. We’re not treating the disease itself, we’re managing what it means to live with it at home. Our caregivers learn your parent’s routines, their triggers, what works and what doesn’t.
On any given day, this looks like keeping meals on a schedule when they might forget to eat, walking the neighborhood together when wandering starts to worry you, helping with the bathroom and getting dressed, and staying alert for falls or missed medications. It means recognizing when your parent is frustrated or scared, and knowing when to call you versus when to handle it quietly. It means you can sleep through the night without your phone in your hand.
Families in Groton often reach out to us days or weeks after discharge from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, when they realize home alone isn’t working anymore. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand Alzheimer’s progression in a way that goes beyond basic training, we’ve lived the exhaustion families face, and we build a plan that fits your parent’s specific stage of the disease.
Our founder was a nurse who watched families spiral into exhaustion trying to keep one person safe. We know what wandering does to your sleep, what skipped medications do to your worry, what happens when structure disappears. We don’t approach this as a job. We approach it as people who’ve seen it work when it’s done right.
We don’t send the first available caregiver. We listen to who your parent is, what they respond to, and whether they need someone calm or someone who can handle their resistance. We brief every caregiver on the specifics of Alzheimer’s progression and your family’s routines before day one. Experience with dementia isn’t assumed, it’s built in.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a plan. Some days your parent is cooperative, some days they’re agitated, and sometimes a medication adjustment shifts everything. You’ll reach a real person when you call us, not a voicemail. When something isn’t working, we listen and we adjust.
We’re local enough to understand the discharge process from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and what comes after. We know Groton’s neighborhoods, the weather, the local resources. That familiarity translates into better care and faster problem-solving when you need it.

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.
Why families trust us

Common questions
A typical day includes morning help with grooming and breakfast, structured activities or quiet time, lunch preparation, watching for medications and any signs of distress, bathroom assistance, dinner, and evening routines. We help with light housekeeping related to your parent's immediate environment. We also watch for falls, behavioral changes, or anything that needs your attention, and we call you when something feels off. The goal is keeping your parent safe, fed, and as oriented as possible while you get relief.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you call us right away. We'll gather information about your parent's discharge orders, any specific care notes from the hospital, and what you're most worried about. We match a caregiver based on that information and brief them thoroughly before they arrive. If it's urgent, we work with you to find temporary support while we complete our full intake process.
No. Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you're paying directly rather than billing insurance. This actually works in your favor because we don't have to fight insurance approval timelines or stick to arbitrary visit lengths. You get the hours you need, when you need them, without waiting. We can talk through pricing and what different schedules look like when you call.
Home health aides are typically sent by a medical agency after a doctor's order, usually for a few weeks post-discharge. They focus on skilled tasks and report to the hospital or doctor. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, private pay, and caregiver-driven. We're thinking about your parent's long-term safety and quality of life, not just the next two weeks. Our caregivers get to know your parent deeply and make judgment calls about what needs attention, not just follow a task list.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they respond to, any difficult behaviors, and what matters most to your family. We then match a caregiver whose own style and experience fit that profile. Matching isn't perfect on day one, but we listen to feedback and adjust if needed. If something isn't working after a fair trial, we'll find a better fit.
We arrange a backup from our team so your parent isn't left without care. The backup caregiver has already been briefed on your parent's specifics before they arrive. We know how disruptive changes are for someone with Alzheimer's, so we minimize surprises and communicate with you every step. If a caregiver is sick or an emergency happens, you'll hear from us immediately with a plan.
