Alzheimer’s Care is about showing up for someone as their memory changes, their routine gets harder to follow, and their safety becomes your constant worry. We help with the everyday things that get complicated, the things that can’t wait for a doctor’s appointment, and the moments when structure is the only thing that makes sense.
On any given day, our caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meals that actually get eaten, medication reminders that stick, and keeping your parent safe when they want to leave the house at 2 a.m. We watch for falls, track what they ate, notice when something’s off, and keep them engaged with activities that don’t feel like therapy. We also give you back the sleep you’ve lost and the peace of mind you didn’t think you’d feel again.
Many Monroe families come to us after discharge from St. Vincent’s Medical Center, when the hospital social worker hands you a list of resources and you realize you can’t do this alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression the way someone who’s lived it does, not just studied it. That difference matters when it’s 11 p.m. and you’re trying to figure out whether something is normal or whether you need to call someone.
Our founder built this company because she watched family members burn out trying to manage Alzheimer’s alone. We don’t treat wandering safety or medication schedules as abstract problems, we treat them as real things that steal your sleep and your confidence. When you call us, you’re talking to people who get why you’re asking the same question twice.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, their good hours, their triggers, what made them laugh before this happened. Then we find a caregiver who fits that picture, not just someone available on Tuesday. That briefing period matters because the right match changes everything about how your parent accepts care.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. We answer calls from Monroe caregivers in real time when your parent’s behavior shifts, when medication timing needs adjusting, when a new safety concern pops up at midnight. You don’t get an answering service, you get someone who can actually help right now.
We work with St. Vincent’s Medical Center on discharge planning, we know the pharmacies families use, we understand the rhythm of this area. That local knowledge means faster response times and caregivers who don’t need GPS to find your home on the second visit.

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 personal care like bathing and dressing, preparing meals and making sure they're eaten, reminding about medications and watching your parent take them, keeping them safe and occupied, and noticing changes in mood, appetite, or behavior that matter. We also do light housekeeping related to their care, help them stay connected to family, and keep a simple log so you know what happened while you were at work. What we don't do is pretend everything's fine when it's not, or skip the hard conversations with you about what we're seeing.
We can typically start within 48 to 72 hours, sometimes faster if it's urgent. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge planner to get copies of medications, doctor's instructions, and any notes about your parent's behavior or needs. Our first visit includes a full briefing where we talk through the care plan, meet your parent in their own home, and establish the routine that's going to work. If you're coming home from St. Vincent's and you need care immediately, call us the day before discharge.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you'll be paying out of pocket. Medicare covers skilled nursing or physical therapy after a hospital stay, but not the kind of ongoing care that Alzheimer's usually needs. We can give you a clear picture of costs upfront and help you understand what options exist, including whether your parent's long-term care insurance might apply. It's not the answer families want to hear, but it's the honest one.
Home health aides do personal care tasks and follow a care plan created by a nurse, usually ordered by a doctor after a hospital stay or medical event. Alzheimer's Care is deeper than that, it's understanding how the disease changes behavior and safety needs day by day. We're trained specifically in memory loss, we know how to redirect someone who's upset, we watch for signs of decline, and we keep your parent safe from wandering or medication mistakes. A home health aide can certainly help, but they're not trained the way we are for Alzheimer's specifically.
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We get to know your parent's history, what they did for work, what they loved, what frustrates them now, and what time of day they're usually clearest. Then we find a caregiver whose personality and experience match that picture, not just someone who's available. We've learned that the right match means your parent accepts care better and you sleep better knowing they're in good hands.
We don't leave you hanging. Our caregivers have backup support within our network so if someone is sick or has an emergency, we have someone trained and ready to step in. We give you notice whenever possible, we make sure the replacement caregiver knows your parent's routine and any specific needs, and we're honest about what we can and can't promise. If there's a pattern of unavailability, we address it because your parent's care can't depend on luck.
