Your mom used to call you every Sunday at 2pm from her kitchen on Maple Avenue, and last week she didn’t pick up.

Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support for someone whose memory and judgment are changing. We help with the routines that keep your parent safe and oriented, like eating regular meals, taking medications on time, and staying clean. We also watch for the small changes that matter, like wandering risk or confusion about where they are, and we let you know what we’re seeing.
On a typical day, our caregiver might help your parent get dressed, prepare lunch, remind them to take their pills, and keep them engaged with a simple activity or a walk. We’re also watching the house, making sure doors are locked if wandering is a concern, and keeping track of what’s actually happening at home while you’re working or managing your own family. Many families tell us the relief of knowing someone is there, actually seeing their parent in person, takes a weight off.
After a hospital stay at Middlesex Hospital, Alzheimer’s Care starts where the discharge planner stops. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to recognize when Alzheimer’s is progressing, when medication timing matters, and when a change is worth reporting to the doctor. We live and work in Haddam and the towns around us, so we understand the local system and can move quickly.
We started this agency because we were caregivers ourselves. We know what Alzheimer’s looks like at 6am, when your parent is scared and disoriented. We also know that consistency and a calm routine can buy you months of good days.
We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific needs, quirks, and what works. We match someone who has experience with wandering or aggression or sundowning, not just someone available. You’re not training the care, we are.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a plan. If your parent has a bad day or your caregiver notices something new, you can call us. We adjust, swap caregivers if needed, and we don’t disappear when the situation gets harder.
We know the discharge process at Middlesex Hospital, we know the local doctors, and we’re already here in Haddam. When you need Alzheimer’s Care to start, we don’t need to onboard someone from an hour away.

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
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. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver helps with breakfast, medication reminders, personal care, and keeping your parent occupied and safe. We also watch for confusion, keep the environment predictable, and gently redirect if your parent is agitated or wanting to wander. We're there to prevent falls, missed meals, and the kind of small emergencies that exhaust you. Every afternoon, we brief you on what happened and what we noticed.
If you call us while your parent is still at Middlesex Hospital or the day after, we can usually have someone in your home within 48 hours. We work directly with the discharge planner, get the medical paperwork, and match a caregiver who has handled post-hospital Alzheimer's Care before. The faster we start, the safer the transition home.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and rehabilitation, but not the ongoing support and safety monitoring that Alzheimer's requires. We can help you understand what your insurance might cover for other services, but our Alzheimer's Care is something you pay for directly. We work with many families on a weekly or monthly schedule.
A home health aide is usually sent by an agency for a fixed number of hours and focused on physical tasks. Alzheimer's Care is different: we're watching your parent's mind, not just their body. We're trained to notice confusion, redirect safely, keep routines consistent, and understand what behavior changes mean. We also stay in touch with you about what we're seeing, not just what we did.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they're afraid of, what calms them, and what kind of caregiver might click with them. If your parent is aggressive, we match someone experienced with that. If they wander, we match someone who can keep up and stay calm. We're in Haddam already, so we can also visit and talk to you before we start.
We have backup coverage. We call you first and give you as much notice as we can. The replacement caregiver gets fully briefed on your parent's routine and personality. We don't send someone new without preparation, and we make sure your parent knows what's happening. If continuity is crucial to your situation, we can talk about a second caregiver who knows your parent as backup.
