Your sister noticed something during the holidays at your parents’ home on Hamburg Road, something you’d missed during your last visit. Your mom couldn’t quite follow the conversation, kept asking the same question, and your dad’s shoulders looked heavier than you’d ever seen them. When your sister called you that night, you realized you couldn’t keep pretending this would stay manageable on its own.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured daily support for someone whose memory and thinking are changing. It’s not about medical tasks, though we work closely with your parent’s doctors. It’s about keeping your parent safe, on routine, fed, and moving through the day with some predictability while you stop carrying the weight alone.
On any given day, this might mean helping your parent remember they’ve already eaten breakfast, walking the neighborhood together so they don’t wander alone, organizing medications so nothing gets missed, and managing the moments when they’re frustrated or confused. We’re there so you’re not.
If your parent comes home from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital after a fall or health scare, we coordinate with their discharge team and step in immediately to rebuild routine. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s unfolds, what changes to watch for, and when to flag something that needs a doctor’s attention. You get someone who’s lived this work, not just trained for it.
Our founder lived years in geriatric care before starting this agency. We know what confusion looks like at 3 a.m., what a safe routine actually requires, and how fast things can change. That knowledge changes how we match caregivers and how we stay ready.
No generic care plans. When your parent’s caregiver shows up, they know your parent’s triggers, what time of day they’re most confused, which route is safest for a walk, and exactly what you need to not fall apart. We match personality and experience to your family.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow business hours. If your parent’s behavior changes or your caregiver needs guidance, you reach a real person who can help that day. You’re not calling a call center.
We know the discharge process at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, the neighborhoods of Lyme, and the rhythm of East Haddam and Old Lyme. We show up fast and we speak the language of your 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
A typical day includes helping with breakfast and making sure your parent eats, structuring activities to keep them oriented and engaged, walking or sitting with them, reminding them about medications, preparing meals, and managing confusion calmly when it happens. Your caregiver watches for signs of pain, infection, or mood changes and reports to you. The goal is consistency so your parent feels safer and you get actual rest.
We can often start within 48 hours of discharge. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge team, get your parent's medical summary and current medications, and match a caregiver who understands what your parent just went through. If there's an urgent situation, we move faster. Call us the day you're told discharge is coming.
No. Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing after hospitalization, but ongoing memory care at home is not covered. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We're transparent about cost upfront and work with families on schedules that fit their budget.
A home health aide provides personal care after a medical event and is often covered by insurance for a short time. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for someone with memory loss who needs structure, safety, and routine. Our caregivers are trained in dementia behavior, not just bathing and dressing. We stay longer and know your parent deeply.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, what scares them, what comforts them, and what you're most worried about. Then we match a caregiver with relevant experience and someone your parent feels safe with. We test the match with a few shifts before committing long-term.
We have backup caregivers trained and briefed on your parent's routine so there's no gap. Your parent doesn't suddenly see a stranger. We communicate schedule changes to you, and you always know who's coming. Consistency matters in dementia care, and we protect it.
