Alzheimer’s Care is structured support built around how the disease actually progresses. It’s not just helping with daily tasks. It’s understanding what safety looks like when your parent wanders, how to keep routines steady when memory fades, and how to fill the hours so your parent stays engaged instead of lost in front of the TV.
Day-to-day, a caregiver trained in Alzheimer’s Care watches for signs of confusion, manages medications on schedule, prepares meals your parent will actually eat, and keeps your home from becoming a place where things go wrong at night. You get breathing room. Your parent gets consistency. The rest of your family stops holding its breath.
Hartford families often come to us post-discharge from Hartford Hospital or after a doctor’s appointment where the diagnosis landed harder than expected. We were founded by nurses who saw families like yours exhausted and making it up as they go. That background means we know how to read what Alzheimer’s progression actually looks like, not just what the paperwork says.
Our founder was a nurse. She trained every caregiver on our team to recognize early wandering behavior, sundowning, medication resistance, and the thousand small safety gaps that open up. We don’t just react to crisis. We see it coming.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, and what actually comforts them. The right caregiver personality can calm a restless afternoon or prevent a fall. We brief every caregiver fully on your parent’s specific needs before day one.
Alzheimer’s Care needs don’t stay the same. A caregiver who worked great in fall might need backup in winter. You reach us directly, not a call center, and we adjust.
We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, which neighborhoods have the best neighbors for safety checks, and which caregivers work in Blue Hills versus Asylum Hill. Being local means faster response and deeper context.

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
A caregiver arrives at a set time each day to help with bathing, dressing, and grooming. They prepare meals and stay present while your parent eats, watching for signs of forgetting to swallow or losing interest. They manage medications exactly on schedule, keep your home safe by reducing wandering risks, and create structure through activities or walks. They also watch for changes and report back to you at day's end.
We typically start within 3-5 business days of your call, depending on caregiver availability and your parent's schedule. If you're being discharged from Hartford Hospital, we work with the hospital's discharge team to coordinate. We don't rush the matching process just to move fast, but we don't drag it out either.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or therapy-based services, not ongoing companionship care. Long-term care insurance sometimes covers portions, but you'll need to check your policy. We work with families to build schedules they can actually afford, whether that's five days a week or two.
A home health aide comes post-discharge under a doctor's order and has a specific medical focus tied to recovery. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for a chronic disease where recovery isn't the goal. It's about maintaining dignity, safety, and routine as the disease progresses. We work differently because the stakes are different.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent's personality, fears, preferences, and triggers. We listen to what's exhausted you most. Then we match to a caregiver with experience in those exact patterns and the temperament to handle them. If it's not working after two weeks, we adjust.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's routine and needs. You're never left scrambling. We call you ahead of time when someone's out, and we send someone your parent has already met, not a stranger. Continuity matters in Alzheimer's Care.
