Alzheimer’s Care is support designed for someone whose memory is changing, whose routines are slipping, whose safety is a daily worry. We’re here during the hours when you need another person in the house, someone who understands what’s happening and knows how to respond. This isn’t medical nursing, and it’s not just company. It’s experienced care shaped around how Alzheimer’s actually unfolds.
On a typical day, we help with meals, remind about medications, watch for wandering, keep structure in place, handle the small crises before they become big ones, and give you a break. We notice what you’re too tired to see. We stay calm when things repeat or when your parent gets upset. We answer the phone if you’re at work, and we text you with updates that matter.
Many New Hartford families have called us right after a stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, when discharge happened but care didn’t. We work closely with that hospital’s social workers and know their process well. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand disease progression, medication timing, and the signs that tell you something’s changing. That background makes a real difference in Alzheimer’s Care.
Our founder was a nurse, and every caregiver we place has training in how memory loss works, what to expect next, and how to keep your parent safe as things change. We’re not learning on the job. We know the patterns, the risks, and the small wins that matter.
One call tells us a lot, but we take time to listen. We ask about personality, about what your parent responds to, about what exhausts you most. Then we find someone with real Alzheimer’s Care experience who fits that picture. The match matters more than anything else.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When your parent’s behavior changes, when wandering becomes more frequent, or when you need backup, you reach us. We listen, we adjust, we find solutions. You’re not managing this alone.
We’re local to New Hartford, Torrington, and the surrounding towns. We understand the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge process, we know which doctors in the area get Alzheimer’s Care, and we know your community. That local knowledge helps us serve you better.

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 typical day includes help with meals and eating, medication reminders, bathroom assistance, keeping structure through the day, watching for wandering or safety risks, and giving you a real break from the constant watching. We also handle small tasks like laundry or tidying that pile up when you're exhausted. Most importantly, we're there so your parent isn't alone, and you can step away knowing someone experienced is present.
We can usually start within two to three days of your call. After a hospital discharge, we talk directly with the hospital's social worker, get the discharge paperwork, and match a caregiver who understands post-discharge needs. If you need coverage before our regular caregiver starts, we can often arrange interim support. Speed matters when you're overwhelmed, and we know that.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of support because it's not medical nursing. We understand the cost is real, and we're direct about that. What we offer is expert caregiving at a fair rate. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We can talk through what's possible for your situation.
Home health aides come through medical referral for a specific medical need, often after hospitalization, and are usually covered by insurance for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care is different, it's ongoing private pay support for someone living with memory loss. Our caregivers have specific training in Alzheimer's progression, wandering behavior, and how to respond when someone is confused or upset. It's a different skill set built for a different kind of need.
Yes, that's how we work. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they respond to, what they're afraid of, and what your family needs most. Then we match someone with Alzheimer's Care experience who fits. If the match isn't right, we adjust. Getting the person right is more important than filling the schedule fast.
We have backup caregivers trained and familiar with your parent's situation. We don't just send anyone. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we call you first with a backup who knows your parent and can step in. In a real emergency, we have coverage. You won't be left without support, and your parent won't be confused by a stranger.
