Your sister noticed something off when she visited over the holidays, sitting across from your parent at the kitchen table on Westfield Street.

You drove home that night gripping the wheel, realizing this isn’t something you can manage alone anymore.

Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support designed for people in the early to middle stages of memory loss. We’re here to help your parent stay safe, maintain routines, and let you breathe. Our caregivers understand how the disease changes behavior, mood, and memory, and they’re trained to respond calmly when your parent is confused or anxious.
On a typical day, this looks like medication reminders, structured meals and hydration, light activity to keep your parent engaged, monitoring for wandering or unsafe behaviors, and maintaining the routines that help them feel grounded. You’re not managing everything alone anymore. We also handle the small moments that exhaust you: the repetitive questions, the resistance to bathing, the night-time restlessness.
If your parent has recently been discharged from Day Kimball Hospital or another care setting in Windham County, our team can start quickly and work with their discharge plan. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what physicians are looking for in care notes, how to recognize when something needs medical attention, and how to communicate clearly with your parent’s doctor about changes in behavior or health.
Our founder is a nurse with years of experience watching memory loss unfold in families. We don’t treat Alzheimer’s as a single problem to solve, but as a disease that changes month to month. We adjust our approach as your parent’s needs shift, and we help you understand what’s coming so you’re not blindsided.
We take time to understand your parent’s personality, history, and triggers before we assign a caregiver. A good match means your parent feels comfortable, and you sleep better knowing someone who gets them is in your home. We brief every caregiver thoroughly on what helps your parent stay calm and engaged.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent is having a difficult day or your caregiver needs guidance, you reach a real person who knows the situation. We don’t disappear at 5 p.m. You have someone to call when you’re exhausted and need to talk through what’s happening.
We work regularly with hospitals and doctors across the region. We understand the discharge process, we communicate the way medical teams expect, and we integrate easily into care plans already in place. Being local means we show up the same day when you need us.

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.

Common questions
We provide medication reminders, prepare meals and encourage eating, help with hygiene and dressing, structure the day with light activities or walks, watch for wandering or safety risks, and respond calmly if your parent is confused or anxious. We also monitor for changes in mood, appetite, or behavior that might signal a medical issue. Everything is documented so you and their doctor know what's happening.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you contact us right away. We work directly with hospital discharge planners in Windham County and understand the urgency. The sooner we're involved, the smoother the transition home. We'll review the discharge paperwork, get briefed by your parent's care team, and have a caregiver in place who understands the medical plan.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of in-home support because it's care for daily living, not skilled nursing. We work with families to find a rate that works for their situation, and we're transparent about cost from the start. Some families use long-term care insurance or other resources, and we can help you think through options.
A home health aide provides personal care tasks under a doctor's order and is often covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care focuses on memory loss, behavioral changes, and safety monitoring, and is private pay. Our caregivers are trained specifically in how Alzheimer's affects mood, communication, and decision-making. If your parent needs skilled nursing, we coordinate with home health providers already in their life.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, what calms them, what triggers anxiety, and what routines matter most. We consider their history, interests, and communication style before we introduce a caregiver. We also listen to what you need as a family. A strong match means better outcomes for your parent and real relief for you.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's specific needs and routines. We don't leave you without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we step in with someone familiar enough to keep your parent's day stable. We communicate the change to you in advance whenever possible.
