Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support built around the reality of memory loss and its progression. We’re here to manage the moments that come with it, the structure that helps, the safety when wandering happens, and the presence that gives you a break when you’re running on empty.
On any given day, Alzheimer’s Care means helping with medications on time, keeping meals happening even when appetite changes, supporting bathing and dressing while your parent maintains dignity, watching for falls and confusion, and sometimes just sitting with someone through a hard afternoon. We recognize changes fast and adjust without drama, because we’ve seen how quickly things shift.
Families in Manchester and Hartford County often reach out after a hospital stay, especially after discharge from Manchester Memorial Hospital when doctors say your parent needs structure at home but Medicare won’t cover ongoing care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s actually moves through the body and brain, not just the label of it. That experience shapes everything we do.
Our founder was a nurse for decades and saw families exhaust themselves trying to manage progression alone. We don’t pretend Alzheimer’s Care is simple, and we don’t use corporate language to hide what’s really happening. We show up knowing what structure means, why safety matters, and how fast a caregiver’s presence can change your whole day.
You don’t get a rotation of strangers. We learn your parent, their history, what calms them, what triggers confusion, where they wander to if they wander at all. We brief every caregiver on what matters before day one, and we listen when you call with changes.
Alzheimer’s progression doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s behavior changes, medication timing gets confused, or you need someone for an extra shift, you call and talk to someone who understands, not a voicemail system. We stay reachable because you need us to.
We know Manchester’s layout, the roads to Manchester Memorial Hospital, the neighborhoods like Buckland Hills and South Manchester, and the towns around you. We coordinate with your hospital, your doctor, and your pharmacy. Local means faster and smarter.

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 caregiver arrives and helps with morning routine, ensures medications are taken, prepares meals, watches for safety hazards, and spends time with your parent doing things they enjoy or simply being present during confusing moments. They document what happened, what they noticed, and any changes in appetite, mood, or behavior. They help with hygiene, laundry, and light tidying. If your parent wanders or becomes agitated, the caregiver knows how to respond because we've trained them on your parent's specific triggers and what works.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours of your call in most cases. Once you contact us, we get your parent's medical history, talk through their day, confirm the discharge paperwork with the hospital if needed, and match a caregiver who fits. We don't delay because we know you need help right away, especially if your parent is confused about being home after a hospital stay.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approvals or fighting with a care plan coordinator. You pay for the hours you need. Many families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or we can discuss flexible scheduling to fit your budget. We're honest about cost because you deserve to know what you're paying for and why.
Home health aides come through Medicare or insurance after a hospital stay and stop once you hit a visit limit or lose medical necessity. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing for as long as your parent needs it, tailored to progression, not tied to a diagnosis code. We're trained specifically in dementia behaviors, we stay consistent, and we adapt as the disease changes. It's continuity over time, not a temporary service.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's history, what calms them, what upsets them, their daily habits, and what you need most from a caregiver. Then we find someone whose personality and experience fit. We don't make random assignments. Once matched, that caregiver learns your parent deeply, and we keep that pair together unless something changes.
We have backup caregivers ready and we only send someone we've already briefed on your parent's needs. You don't get a stranger showing up without warning. We'll call you beforehand, explain who's coming, and make sure the backup has read your parent's notes. It's not perfect, but it's prepared, and your parent's safety doesn't stop because one person got sick.
