You got a call from your sister after the holidays. Your mom didn’t remember the visit to her house on Wallingford Street, and she’d changed clothes three times that morning.

What you both needed wasn’t just help, it was someone who understood what Alzheimer’s actually looks like, day by day, in a Meriden home.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is hands-on support for someone whose memory and judgment are changing. We’re in the home helping with the routines that matter, watching for safety risks, and giving structure back to days that can feel unpredictable. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s alert, experienced presence that knows what Alzheimer’s progression actually looks like.
You’ll see our caregiver help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medication reminders. We keep an eye on wandering risk, help redirect when confusion happens, and make sure your parent isn’t isolated or stuck in one room all day. We also give you, the family member carrying the weight, actual breaks. Time to work, to sleep, to remember who you are outside of this.
Many families we work with in Meriden come to us after a hospital stay or doctor’s visit that made Alzheimer’s real. If your parent has been discharged from MidState Medical Center or is living in the surrounding neighborhoods, we know the local rhythms and can coordinate with their medical team. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand progression, we notice changes early, and we know the difference between normal forgetting and something that needs a doctor’s call.
A nurse founded this agency because she watched families struggle with conflicting advice and caregivers who didn’t recognize early warning signs. We see the patterns, the small shifts that matter, and we know how to adjust care as your parent’s needs change month to month.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We brief caregivers on your parent’s specific situation, their routines, their triggers, and what helps them stay calm. Then we listen to what works and what doesn’t, and we adjust the pairing.
Alzheimer’s care isn’t predictable. A fall, a medication change, a behavior shift, a family member’s sudden need. You call us and reach a real person who knows your parent’s history, not a call center.
We’re local to Meriden and the surrounding towns. We understand how MidState Medical Center coordinates discharge, we know the local doctors and what they need, and we move quickly when a family needs care to start right away.

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

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver arrives at a set time and helps your parent with breakfast, bathing, and getting dressed. Throughout the day, we help with lunch, medications, and activities that keep them engaged and oriented. We keep an eye on safety, handle redirection when confusion shows up, and make sure they're eating and drinking. We also document what we see and share it with you and their doctor. It's structured support that looks different from day to day because Alzheimer's doesn't follow a script.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a call, depending on the time of day and our current schedule. If your parent is being discharged from MidState, let us know as soon as you know the date. We coordinate with the hospital social worker, get the discharge notes, and have a caregiver ready to meet your parent at home. Speed matters when someone is just home and families are scared.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or rehabilitation services, but not companionship and behavioral support, which is what Alzheimer's care really is. We work with families on hours and frequency so it fits what you can manage. Many families start part-time, a few hours a day, and adjust as needs change.
A home health aide typically works under a nurse's orders for a medical reason and is covered by insurance for a set period. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for memory loss and behavioral changes, and it's private pay. Our caregivers are trained in Alzheimer's specifically, they stay longer, they know your parent over time, and they're there to give you relief and keep your parent safe as the disease progresses.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what makes them anxious, what activities they enjoy, and what your family routine looks like. We match based on that, not just availability. If the match isn't working after a week or two, we make a change. Getting this right is worth taking time.
We have backup caregivers trained and available. We don't leave you without coverage. We call you first and let you know who's coming and when. If your parent does better with consistency, we try to keep the same person, but we also make sure you're never stuck without support because someone called out sick.
