Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone in the middle of memory loss, designed to keep them safe, on routine, and living with dignity at home. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the day-to-day reality: meals that actually get eaten, medications taken on time, the house staying stable, and someone watching for the wandering, the confusion, the falls that happen when no one’s looking.
On a typical day, our caregivers are handling personal care, meal prep, light housekeeping, and being present during the times when Alzheimer’s progresses fastest, like late afternoon when confusion peaks. They’re tracking what your parent ate, whether they slept, any new behaviors. They’re also giving you, the family, the thing you’re running out of: breathing room.
Many families in New London work with us right after a Lawrence + Memorial Hospital discharge, when post-acute confusion is highest and the house needs to feel safe again. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand progression, know what to watch for, and can talk to you in language that actually makes sense when you’re exhausted and scared.
Our founder is a nurse who’s seen Alzheimer’s patterns up close. That’s not marketing. It means your caregiver isn’t guessing about what comes next or why your parent’s behavior shifted yesterday. We know what safe looks like at each stage, and we plan for it.
We don’t send a warm body. We listen to what your parent responds to, what they’ve done their whole life, what makes them less anxious. Then we match a specific caregiver, brief them deeply, and stay involved. That person becomes someone your parent recognizes.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. You call us at midnight because your parent’s agitated or won’t take medication, and we pick up. We adjust the plan. We don’t tell you to call 911 when sometimes what you need is someone who understands the progression.
We know Lawrence + Memorial Hospital’s discharge process, we coordinate with your parent’s doctors, and we’re already embedded in how your community works. That matters when you’re coordinating care across multiple people.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver comes into your home for a set number of hours, sometimes mornings, sometimes afternoons depending on when your parent needs it most. They handle personal care like bathing and dressing, prepare meals they'll actually sit down and eat, manage medications, keep the house safe (removing hazards, checking the stove), and watch for behavioral changes. They're also someone steady and familiar, which matters more than you'd think. They're not there to provide medical nursing, but to keep the structure and routine that people with Alzheimer's desperately need.
We can typically start within 48 to 72 hours of discharge if you call us right away. The first step is a conversation where we listen to what you need, what your parent's discharge instructions say, and what the house setup is. Then we match a caregiver, brief them on your parent's specific needs and behaviors, and get them there. If the discharge is planned, we can sometimes arrange care before you leave the hospital.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you're paying out of pocket rather than through insurance or Medicare. That also means we're not restricted by what insurance allows, so we can stay flexible, match carefully, and adjust your schedule as your parent's needs change. We work with families on rate structures and can discuss what fits your situation. Many families find that quality matters more than coverage at this stage.
Home health aides come through insurance-approved agencies and are limited by what Medicare or your plan will pay for, typically post-hospitalization. Alzheimer's Care is longer-term support focused on progression and safety, not recovery from surgery. We can spend time on routine, relationship, and behavior management because we're not clock-watching against insurance limits. We also match based on personality and your parent's history, not just availability.
Yes. We start by asking you detailed questions about your parent: what they're afraid of, what they loved doing before, how they respond to men versus women, whether they're a morning person, if they have habits we should know about. Then we find a caregiver who fits, brief them thoroughly, and they meet your parent before the first shift. If it's not clicking after a few days, we adjust. That process takes time, but it works.
We don't leave you hanging. If your scheduled caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we have backup caregivers we've trained and vetted who can cover, or we find someone quickly who fits what your parent needs. We also let you know as soon as possible so there are no surprises. We understand that consistency matters deeply with Alzheimer's, so we try hard not to break it, and when we have to, we manage the transition carefully.
