Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support in your home that meets your parent where they are right now, not where they used to be. We’re talking about someone in your house who understands memory loss, who knows how to redirect when your parent is confused, and who can keep them safe when they wander or forget why they started looking for their keys.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, medications, meals, and keeping a routine that actually sticks. They watch for falls, they know when your parent hasn’t eaten enough, they can spot a urinary tract infection before it becomes a crisis. They also give you permission to step away, to sleep through the night, to remember what it feels like to not be afraid.
After a hospital stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, Alzheimer’s Care can begin right away, picking up where discharge planning left off. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of Alzheimer’s progression, the medications, the risk signs, and the family exhaustion that comes with all of it. We don’t just show up. We listen first.
Our founders came from bedside nursing, which means we know Alzheimer’s progression like a lived thing, not a checklist. We understand why your parent repeats the same question and how to answer it the 47th time without losing patience. We can spot the small changes that matter.
You’re not getting whoever is available. We talk with you first about your parent’s personality, what calms them, what triggers wandering or sundowning, and whether they need someone warm or someone structured. Then we send someone with actual Alzheimer’s experience and we brief them on your family specifically.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When your parent’s mood changes or they start refusing medication, you don’t wait for business hours. We’re reachable, and our caregivers know when to escalate something to us that needs real thinking, not just problem-solving.
We work with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge teams regularly. We know the Morris neighborhoods, the pharmacies that get it, the local doctors. We’re not learning your community while we’re supposed to be caring for your parent.

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.

Common questions
A caregiver arrives and helps your parent with whatever they need: bathing, dressing, medications, breakfast, getting outside for a walk. They watch for safety issues like wandering, falls, or forgotten stove burners. They're also checking, quietly, whether your parent has eaten enough, whether they seem confused beyond baseline, whether they're in pain. They keep a simple routine because structure is what prevents the spiraling. At the end of their shift, you know what happened and what to watch for.
If you call us before discharge, we can often start the same day or the next morning. We coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge team so there's no gap where your parent is home without support. If you're calling after discharge, we move fast. In Litchfield County, we usually have someone in your home within 24 to 48 hours.
Alzheimer's Care through us is private pay, which means you're paying out of pocket. Insurance sometimes covers medically necessary home health, but Alzheimer's Care focused on safety, structure, and quality of life usually isn't part of that. We're honest about the cost upfront because you deserve to know exactly what this looks like for your family before you decide.
A home health aide, often covered by insurance, comes in for limited hours to help with specific tasks after an injury or surgery. Alzheimer's Care is different because we're thinking about your parent's behavior, memory loss, and safety every moment someone is there. We know the signs of sundowning, we know how to keep someone from wandering out at midnight, we know when a repeated question needs a calm answer instead of correction. We're trained specifically in Alzheimer's, not just general home support.
Yes. We talk with you before anyone starts, and we listen for the things that matter. Does your parent do better with a man or a woman. Are they more calm with someone quiet or someone talkative. Do they have trauma we need to know about. Do they wander at night or refuse showers. We take all of that and find someone with the experience and personality to actually work. It's not random.
We have someone ready to step in. You're not scrambling at 6 a.m. because your caregiver called out. We back each other up in Litchfield County and we've briefed replacements on your parent's needs. We tell you who's coming and we make sure there's continuity, which matters a lot with Alzheimer's Care because changes in routine can be really hard.
