Alzheimer’s Care is structured support that adapts as memory and judgment change. We’re not replacing what you do as a family, we’re taking specific tasks off your plate so you can still be the person your parent needs most. Our caregivers work with you to create routines that slow confusion, keep your parent safe, and give you time to breathe.
On a typical day, this might mean a caregiver helping with hygiene and meals, staying alert for wandering, keeping medications on track, preparing the home so it’s easier to navigate, and watching for falls or behavioral changes. We also help families recognize the early signs of a new stage, so you’re not blindsided. We understand what it feels like when your parent repeats the same worry fifty times in an hour, or when you’re afraid to leave the house.
Many families in Mansfield come to us after discharge from UConn Health Center, when doctors have confirmed cognitive decline and home support becomes urgent. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s actually progresses and why structure matters more than almost anything else. That background shapes how we train caregivers and how we listen to your family.
Our founders were nurses who saw what happens when families don’t have the right support as memory fades. We teach caregivers to recognize early wandering, medication confusion, and the exhaustion that builds in you. We’re not guessing about what your parent needs.
We don’t send someone new to your house without understanding your parent’s habits, fears, and what time of day confusion gets worse. Before caregiving starts, we brief your caregiver on what matters to your family. That’s how you avoid the stress of constant turnover.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent has a fall, a medication question, or a behavior you’ve never seen before, you reach us directly. We adjust the plan without making you fight for it.
We know the UConn Health Center discharge process and the Mansfield neighborhoods where our clients live. We understand winter travel in Tolland County and the importance of caregivers who can respond quickly to your family.

Why families choose us
Every aide is trained and supervised through an RN’s lens — not just placed and forgotten.

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.

Common questions
A caregiver helps with personal care, meal prep, taking medications on schedule, and light housekeeping, but the real work is keeping your parent's day structured and safe. That means staying alert for wandering, noticing mood or behavior changes, and helping your parent feel less anxious by keeping routines predictable. We also give you honest updates about what we're seeing, so you know when a new stage is starting.
We can usually start within a few days if you reach out to us before discharge. We ask the hospital to share the discharge plan and any cognitive notes, so our caregiver isn't starting from zero. If discharge is urgent, we have caregivers available for that same week.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare doesn't cover non-medical caregiving, even when a doctor has confirmed cognitive decline. We can give you a clear cost estimate upfront and help you understand what your parent's situation will cost over time. Some families use a combination of private pay and other resources.
Home health aides focus on physical tasks and are usually ordered by a doctor for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care caregivers focus on behavioral changes, keeping structure, and watching for safety issues as memory fades. We work long-term with your family, adjusting as your parent's needs change.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, what made them angry or anxious before they had memory loss, whether they're early-morning or late-morning, and what routines matter most. We match someone who has experience with those specific behaviors. We also introduce the caregiver ahead of time so it's not a stranger walking in on day one.
We keep a backup list of caregivers trained on your parent's needs so coverage doesn't fall apart. You're not scrambling to find someone or changing caregivers constantly. If we can't cover a shift, we tell you as far in advance as possible.
