Alzheimer’s Care is continuous support in your home while your parent’s memory and thinking are changing. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s designed by someone who knows what happens when Alzheimer’s takes hold, day after day. We’re here to keep your parent safe, structured, and occupied while you stop running on empty.
On any given day, this means keeping meal times regular, watching for wandering, managing medications so nothing gets missed, redirecting when confusion peaks, and being steady when your parent is scared or angry. It means knowing which tasks your parent can still do and which ones need quiet help. It means the difference between your parent showering once a week and once a month, between sleeping at night and being awake at 3 a.m. looking for their childhood home.
Lisbon families often call us after a hospital stay at William W. Backus Hospital, when discharge planners say your parent isn’t quite ready for independent living but you can’t be there eight hours a day. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression in a way that typical home aides don’t, and we build care plans that match the reality of what’s ahead, not what you wish were happening.
Our founder built this agency after watching family members navigate this disease. We don’t treat Alzheimer’s Care like a checklist. We see the patterns, the cycles of confusion, the times your parent is most calm or most restless, and we adjust what we’re doing in real time.
We don’t send a random caregiver to your door. We listen to what matters to your family, what your parent’s habits are, what calms them down, and we match someone we think will click with them. Then we stay close while that relationship builds.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s behavior shifts or a caregiver call reveals something new, you can reach us and we respond the same day. You’re not talking to a national number. You’re talking to people who know your situation.
We understand the discharge process at William W. Backus Hospital, we know Lisbon’s neighborhoods and who your parent’s neighbors are, and we’re not treating your family like a one-off case. You’re part of our community.

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
It depends on your parent's stage, but it usually includes: helping with breakfast and making sure they eat, keeping them occupied with activities that calm them, watching for signs of wandering or confusion, helping with bathroom and hygiene, reminding them about medications, preparing lunch, managing sundowning (when confusion gets worse at dusk), and keeping the house predictable and safe. We document what we see so you and their doctor understand what's actually happening, not just what you see on weekends.
If you call us before discharge or within a day or two after, we can often start within 48 to 72 hours. We have relationships with the hospital's discharge planners, so the handoff is smoother. If your parent is still in the hospital, we can do a brief consultation and get matching started right away so there's no gap when they come home.
No, Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or rehabilitation, but once your parent is medically stable, most insurance stops. That's when we step in. We work with families to find what they can afford, and we're transparent about costs upfront so there are no surprises.
A home health aide typically comes after a hospital stay for a specific medical reason, like recovering from surgery, and the goal is to help them get stronger. Alzheimer's Care is longer-term support because Alzheimer's is a progressive condition that doesn't get better. We're trained to recognize Alzheimer's-specific behaviors and to adjust our approach as the disease changes. We also work more closely with your family on what's coming next.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their fears, what makes them calm, whether they prefer someone older or younger, male or female, and what kind of activities they used to love. We also listen to what you need as a family. Then we match thoughtfully, and we stay involved while the relationship develops. If it's not working after a few weeks, we help find a better fit.
We have backup caregivers we trust and keep informed about your parent's needs, so we're not scrambling at the last minute. We'll call you with options as soon as we know there's an issue. We don't leave you without coverage, and we don't send someone your parent doesn't know without a real conversation first.
