Alzheimer’s Care is trained support for someone in the middle of memory loss. We’re talking about the stage where your parent still knows you but forgets what you said five minutes ago, or they wander at night, or they need help with the basics but they’re still fighting you on it. It’s not medical nursing. It’s the day-to-day structure and safety that keeps everyone from breaking.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medications. They keep your parent occupied so they’re not pacing or repeating the same question for the hundredth time. They make sure the house is safe, the doors are locked if wandering happens, and they’re watching for falls or injuries you might not catch. Most importantly, they give you a break so you’re not running on fumes by dinnertime.
A lot of Hartland families come to us right after a hospital stay at Hartford Hospital, when discharge planners tell you your parent can’t go home alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how Alzheimer’s actually progresses, what it looks like in week two versus month six, and how to spot when something’s changed and needs a doctor’s attention. We don’t treat this like a checkbox. We treat it like what it is, your family’s reality.
Our founder is a nurse who spent years in memory care. We’re not guessing about Alzheimer’s stages or what your parent needs today versus next month. When we place a caregiver, they’re trained to spot the changes early, keep routines steady, and know when to call you or the doctor. That experience is built into every match we make.
We don’t send whoever’s available tomorrow. We listen to what your parent is like, what kind of personality works, whether they need someone calm or energetic, what their wandering pattern looks like. The right match means your parent relaxes faster, your caregiver stays longer, and you actually rest at night knowing they’re both okay.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. Your parent might be stable for weeks and then suddenly refuse medication or have a bad fall. You call us at 8 p.m. on a Wednesday, and we answer. If something’s beyond our scope, we help you get them to the right place. You’re not solving this alone in the middle of the night.
We work with the discharge team at Hartford Hospital regularly. We understand their process, their paperwork, what they need to hear from us to feel confident sending someone home with us. We’re local to Hartland and the surrounding towns, which means faster response times and caregivers who know the area and the health systems here.

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
We help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and meals. We make sure medications are taken. We keep your parent engaged with activities, conversation, or quiet time depending on what they need that day. We watch for falls, signs of pain or confusion, and report back to you daily. We also keep the house safe, lock doors if there's a wandering risk, and make sure your parent doesn't hurt themselves in the kitchen or bathroom. Mostly, we give you a real break during the day so you can work, sleep, or just breathe.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if we have the right match available. We know Hartford Hospital works fast on discharge planning, and we're used to coordinating on short notice. We'll need to talk with you and ideally meet your parent before we place someone, so we're not starting blind. The faster the better for everyone, and we treat it that way.
Not typically. Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans only cover skilled nursing or therapy, not the daily supervision and personal care we provide. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they work with a financial advisor on their options. We're honest about cost upfront and we work with families on schedules that fit their budget, whether that's full-time or part-time support.
A home health aide is typically sent by a medical agency as part of a doctor's order, often after surgery or illness. They come for a set number of hours under a care plan that expires. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support we provide specifically for memory loss and the behaviors that come with it. We're trained to understand why your parent is doing what they're doing, we stay flexible as things change, and we're here for the long haul, not just until a discharge order runs out.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they used to love to do, whether they do better with a calm presence or someone more animated, if they're aggressive or withdrawn, what time of day is hardest. We listen to what you're exhausted by. Then we find someone who fits. It's not perfect every time, but we match thoughtfully, and if something isn't working, we adjust.
We line up a backup. We don't just call someone random at the last minute. We have caregivers trained on your parent's routines, preferences, and any safety needs so the transition is smooth. If we can't cover it internally, we communicate with you fast so you can make a plan. We know consistency matters with Alzheimer's, so we work hard to protect that.
