Alzheimer’s Care is structured support that meets your parent where they are in their disease. It’s not about fixing memory loss, because we can’t. It’s about creating routine, staying safe, managing the medications they forget, and giving you a break from the weight of watching someone you love change.
A caregiver trained in Alzheimer’s progression helps with morning structure, medication reminders, meals and hydration, wandering safety, and the kind of calm presence that stops the catastrophizing and the exhaustion spirals. They’re there to keep your parent engaged and oriented to the day, to notice changes, and to report back to you so you’re not surprised.
Many Harwinton families come to us after a hospitalization at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, when discharge planners tell them their parent needs more support at home than family can provide alone. Our nurses understand how Alzheimer’s unfolds and how to match caregivers who have real experience in this work, not just certification.
Our nurses founded this agency because we’ve been where you are. We understand Alzheimer’s progression, the fear of wandering, the exhaustion of repeating yourself, and the guilt of needing help. We don’t treat this as just another job.
We don’t send the first available caregiver. We talk with you about your parent’s personality, fears, and routines, then match someone with real experience in Alzheimer’s Care who fits. We brief them thoroughly and we stay involved.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When your parent’s behavior changes or a caregiver needs to switch, you reach our nurses, not an answering service. We move fast to stabilize things.
We know Harwinton, we know the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, and we know the doctors and facilities your parent may already be connected to. That local knowledge matters when every detail counts.

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 and medication reminders, keeps your parent engaged in simple activities that match their ability level, monitors hydration and meals, watches for wandering or behavioral changes, and helps with personal care as needed. They're also documenting what they see so you know how your parent is really doing. The goal is structure, safety, and dignity.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a discharge if you contact us while your parent is still at the hospital. Our nurses coordinate with the discharge planners at Charlotte Hungerford so there's no gap in care. If discharge happens suddenly, call us and we'll move fast.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay because it's long-term support focused on quality of life and safety, not short-term skilled nursing. We work with families on scheduling and rates. Some long-term care insurance policies may cover part of it, so it's worth checking your policy with us.
A home health aide does personal care tasks. Alzheimer's Care is personal care plus trained recognition of memory loss, behavioral changes, and safety risks. Our caregivers know how to redirect someone who's confused, how to keep routine when your parent forgets what day it is, and when to alert you to a change that matters.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, preferences, routines, and fears. Then we match someone with real Alzheimer's Care experience who fits. We don't just assign someone, we think about who your parent will accept and who you'll trust.
We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's specific routines and needs. We call you first, brief the backup, and keep continuity as much as possible. We don't leave you scrambling.
