Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone in the early, middle, or later stages of memory loss. We’re not just watching your parent or spouse. We’re keeping them safe, keeping them on schedule, and giving you back the ability to breathe. A caregiver comes into your home and takes the weight off your shoulders, day after day.
You’ll see this happen in real time: your person gets breakfast at the same time every morning. Their medications are taken exactly when they should be. We watch for wandering, we keep the house safe, we redirect when confusion rises. We also listen when they repeat the same story for the tenth time that week. We notice what they can still do, and we build the day around that.
After a stay at Middlesex Hospital or after a doctor’s appointment that confirmed what you already sensed, you need someone who gets it. We’re nurse-founded, which means every caregiver we send knows what Alzheimer’s actually looks like at each stage, what to watch for, and when to call you. We’ve been the ones making that call ourselves.
Your parent changes month to month, sometimes week to week. We don’t treat Alzheimer’s like a checklist. We adjust the routine, the tone, the approach as their needs shift. That’s the difference between someone trained in Alzheimer’s and someone just hired to help out.
Before anyone steps into your home, we listen to you. What does your parent respond to? What time of day are they most themselves? Do they need quiet or gentle activity? We brief every caregiver fully and match them thoughtfully. That relationship becomes the foundation of everything else.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow business hours. When something feels different or you have a question at 3 p.m. on a Friday, you can reach us. We adjust care plans when we need to. We’re here for the hard questions without the runaround.
We understand the Middlesex Hospital discharge process. We know how to work with local doctors and specialists. We’re familiar with Killingworth neighborhoods, the layout, the pharmacy on Main Street. We’re local enough to move fast and stay connected.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver arrives at your scheduled time and helps with morning routine, breakfast, medications, and getting dressed. They keep your parent engaged, whether that's conversation, a quiet activity, a walk around the block, or just being present while they sit. We watch for safety issues like wandering or forgetting where things are. We prepare meals, tidy up, and keep an eye on mood changes. Most importantly, we stay calm when the same question gets asked five times.
We can often arrange care within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. You'll call us, we'll ask what happened at the hospital and what your parent needs right now, and we'll match a caregiver who can step in immediately. If your situation is urgent, let us know. We've worked with the discharge team at Middlesex Hospital before and we know how to move fast.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it because we're not providing skilled nursing or therapy, we're providing support and supervision. The cost varies based on hours and frequency, but we're upfront about pricing from the start. Many families find it's worth every dollar when they see how much better their parent is doing and how much calmer they feel.
A home health aide often comes after a doctor's order for skilled care and is covered by insurance for a short time. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support that you arrange and pay for directly. We're trained specifically in dementia, not just general caregiving. We focus on routine, safety, and keeping your parent comfortable as their memory changes. If you need both, we can work alongside home health seamlessly.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent, their personality, what they enjoy, what makes them anxious, and what time of day they're most alert. We then match them with someone who fits that picture. We also make sure the caregiver knows your home, your neighborhood, and your family's routines. That match matters more than you might think.
We maintain backup coverage so you're never left without help. If your usual caregiver is sick or unavailable, we arrange a replacement who we've already briefed on your parent's needs. We don't leave you scrambling. We also give you direct communication so you always know who's coming and when.
