Alzheimer’s Care is personalized support for someone experiencing memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes. It’s someone trained to stay calm when your parent repeats the same story five times in an hour, to gently redirect when they’re looking for a person who passed away years ago, and to notice the small shifts that tell you the disease is moving forward. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the structured presence that keeps the day from falling apart.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with medication reminders, meals, bathing, and dressing. They keep a routine because routine is what Alzheimer’s needs. They watch for wandering risk and falls. They sit with your parent during the restless afternoon hours. They notice when appetite drops or behavior changes, and they tell you about it. They’re also there so you can step away, sleep through the night, or just breathe without feeling guilty.
Many New Haven families come to us after a hospital stay at Yale New Haven Hospital, when discharge planning feels overwhelming and you’re not ready to go it alone. Being nurse-founded means we understand how Alzheimer’s progresses, what safety really looks like, and why families burn out. We’ve lived this ourselves.
Alzheimer’s isn’t a straight line, and it changes everything. We’ve built this service around what really happens: the repetition, the sundowning, the days when your parent doesn’t recognize you. We know what to watch for and how to adjust the plan before crisis hits.
We listen to your family’s story before we send anyone to your home. We match based on what your parent needs, what you need, and whether the fit feels right. A good match makes all the difference when you’re living hour to hour with memory loss.
Alzheimer’s Care needs don’t follow business hours. When something changes, you call us and talk to someone who gets it, not a voicemail. We adjust schedules, increase hours, or find backup coverage because we know you’re holding on.
We know the Neighborhoods, the streets, the discharge process at Yale New Haven Hospital. We’ve worked with the system here long enough to move fast when your parent comes home from the hospital and you need care to start Monday.

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
Your caregiver arrives and helps with breakfast, makes sure medications are taken, then moves through the morning routine of bathing and dressing with patience and respect. Lunch is prepared and eaten together. Afternoons might include a short walk, sitting outside, or a simple activity that keeps the mind engaged without pressure. They're watching for mood, appetite, pain, and any new behaviors. Evening brings dinner, time together, and preparation for bed. They're documenting what matters and staying in touch with you about changes.
If you call us before discharge, we can meet with your parent and family while they're still in the hospital, so the caregiver and the plan are ready the day you come home. If you call after discharge, we typically place someone within 24 to 48 hours. We know discharge windows are tight and you don't have time to wait.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance don't cover this level of support because we're not providing skilled nursing or physical therapy. We understand the cost is real, and we're transparent about rates. We work with families on schedules and hours that fit their budget.
A home health aide provides hands-on personal care under a doctor's order, usually for a limited time after hospitalization, and may be covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care is longer-term, private-pay support built specifically around memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes. Our caregivers are trained in redirection, routine, safety around wandering, and recognizing how the disease shifts. Home health aides follow a medical plan, our team follows your parent's needs as they change.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, their past, what calmed them before, and what scares them now. We listen to what you need as a family, whether that's someone with experience managing wandering, someone who's patient with repetition, or someone who can handle resistance with gentleness. We also talk about the fit, because trust between your parent and their caregiver matters deeply. We don't rush the match.
We have backup coverage in New Haven County so a scheduled absence or sudden illness doesn't leave you without support. We'll send someone trained, and we'll let your parent meet them ahead of time if possible so it's not a total surprise. You're not left scrambling, and your parent isn't confused by a stranger showing up with no warning.
