Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s care means showing up every day to help your parent stay safe, keep a rhythm, and maintain what dignity and independence they still have. It’s not medical nursing. It’s someone in your house who understands how Alzheimer’s changes a person, hour by hour, and who knows how to stay calm when your parent repeats themselves or becomes disoriented.
On a typical day, an Alzheimer’s caregiver helps with bathing and dressing, prepares meals and makes sure medications get taken on time, manages wandering by keeping doors secure and knowing where your parent is, and just sits with them through afternoons that feel long. Families tell us the biggest relief is knowing their parent isn’t alone, and that someone is watching for falls, missed doses, or a sudden change in behavior.
When your parent comes home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital after a fall or a health scare, that transition is fragile. Our caregivers are nurse-founded, which means we know discharge instructions inside out, we know how to catch problems early, and we understand the specific rhythm Alzheimer’s requires. Litchfield families choose us because we’re local, we know the hospital system here, and we answer the phone when things change.
Our caregivers are trained by nurses who’ve worked with hundreds of Alzheimer’s patients. We know what progression looks like, how to keep structure when memory fades, and how to spot safety risks before they become crises. Your parent gets someone who isn’t learning on the job.
After your intake call, we brief our caregivers fully on your parent’s history, triggers, and preferences. Then we match someone with experience in Alzheimer’s care specifically, not just general home care. We stay with your family because we know trust takes time to build.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow office hours. You can reach us when your parent has a bad day, when the caregiver calls with a concern, or when you need to adjust the schedule. We answer the phone and we know your situation.
We’ve worked with families across all areas of Litchfield, Torrington, Woodbury, and the surrounding towns. We understand the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and we know how to coordinate care from day one at home.

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
Our caregivers help with personal care like bathing and dressing, prepare meals and remind about medications, monitor wandering and keep your parent safe, and provide the presence and routine that Alzheimer's requires. They're trained to notice changes, stay calm during confusion or repetition, and communicate with you daily about what happened. It's not medical nursing, but it's someone in your home who understands this disease.
We can begin within days of discharge if you call us right away. Our nurses coordinate with the hospital discharge team, review your parent's post-hospital instructions, and brief your caregiver before the first shift. The faster you connect with us, the smoother that transition home becomes.
Alzheimer's care is private pay. Medicare and insurance typically cover medical nursing, not the daily support and companionship this disease requires. We work with many families to fit care into their budget, and we're transparent about our rates from the first conversation.
A home health aide is ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance for specific medical tasks after an illness or injury. Alzheimer's care is ongoing support for a progressive disease, focused on safety, routine, and quality of life. Our caregivers are trained specifically in Alzheimer's behavior and progression, not just general personal care.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, what triggers them, what calms them, and what they still enjoy. Then we match a caregiver with relevant Alzheimer's experience who fits. We're careful about this because the right fit changes everything.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's needs and preferences. We don't leave families without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we fill the shift with someone we've briefed and you've met, so continuity stays intact.
