Alzheimer’s Care is home support built around memory loss and the confusion that comes with it. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the daily presence that keeps your parent safe, maintains their routine, and catches the small changes that matter. We work with you to understand where your parent is in their journey, what they can still do, and where they need steady, calm support.
On any given day, this might mean helping with medications, meals, and personal care, but it also means watching for wandering behavior, managing sundowning, keeping structure when the world feels chaotic, and being alert to falls or safety risks. We’re there while you’re at work or running errands. We handle the routines so your parent stays grounded. We also notice things, and we tell you about them.
After a stay at New Milford Hospital or an appointment that made things clearer, you often need care to start quickly and with someone who understands how Alzheimer’s unfolds. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know the medical side and the human side. We’ve lived through this. We staff our Alzheimer’s Care with caregivers who’ve been trained in memory loss, not just general housekeeping, and we stay involved in your care plan as your parent’s needs change.
Our founder is a nurse who’s managed Alzheimer’s care for years. That means we don’t just send someone to watch TV with your parent. We recognize where your parent is in their disease, what structure and safety look like at that stage, and how to adjust as things shift. You’re not starting from scratch explaining memory loss to someone new.
We interview caregivers, brief them thoroughly on your parent’s habits and needs, and we place people who have real experience with Alzheimer’s, not just a willingness to try. You’ll know who’s coming, what they’re trained to watch for, and that they understand why routine matters so much to your parent.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. Your parent might start refusing meals, or the wandering might intensify, or you might just need to ask someone experienced if what you’re seeing is normal. We’re here to talk through it and adjust care quickly without making you wait or feel like you’re bothering anyone.
We work with New Milford Hospital, we understand how discharge works, and we’re local to Litchfield County. We can start care the same week you need it, and we’re not managing you from an answering service two hours away. You’re working with people who know your community.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We help with medication reminders, meals and hydration, bathing and dressing, and toileting. We also keep an eye on safety, watch for wandering or confusion that needs redirecting, and maintain the routines that help your parent feel less anxious. We might take them for a walk, sit with them during a hard time of day, or help them find things they've misplaced. We're also listening and observing, so you know what's actually happening when you're not there.
Often within a few days. We can schedule a brief meeting to understand what your parent needs, match a caregiver, and brief them before the first shift. Hospital discharges are urgent, and we treat them that way. If you call us mid-week after a discharge, we'll work to get someone in place by the following Monday or sooner if possible.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you hire us directly and pay out of pocket or from family resources. We're not a medical agency billing insurance, so there's no application process or waiting for authorization. That simplicity is often worth it, especially when you need care to start right away. We can discuss rates and schedules that fit your budget.
A home health aide comes after a medical event or doctor's order, and is billed through Medicare or insurance. Alzheimer's Care is different, it's ongoing support for someone managing memory loss and confusion, and it's private pay. We also specialize in the behavioral and safety side of Alzheimer's, not just the medical side. Many families use both, but Alzheimer's Care is specifically trained for this disease.
Yes. We ask you a lot of questions first, about your parent's personality, their habits, what they're afraid of, what they love, and where they're struggling most. Then we find someone with the right experience and temperament. If the match doesn't feel right after the first week or two, we'll reassess and adjust. This is too important to guess about.
We have a small network of trained backups who know your parent or can be briefed quickly. We never leave you without coverage if we can help it. We'll call you with plenty of notice if someone needs to miss a shift, and we'll send someone you've met or someone we've prepped carefully. Your parent's stability matters more than perfect convenience.
