Alzheimer’s Care is structured support designed for someone living with memory loss, confusion, and the behaviors that come with it. We’re not just checking boxes. We’re here because we understand how the disease changes someone’s thinking, their safety sense, and their ability to follow a routine without help.
On any given day, our caregivers help with medication reminders, meal preparation, keeping a regular rhythm to the hours so your parent feels steady, monitoring for wandering or unsafe choices, and staying alert to sudden changes in mood or health. We also give you, the adult child, a break from the constant mental load of tracking all of it.
When someone comes home from Danbury Hospital after a fall, a health scare, or a diagnosis, we’re often the bridge between hospital care and life at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to spot when something’s shifting medically, how to document what we’re seeing, and when to flag it for their doctor.
Alzheimer’s isn’t one static thing, it’s a road with turns. We’ve cared for many people through early confusion, middle-stage wandering, and later changes. Because our founder is a nurse, we know what questions to ask and what changes matter medically versus behaviorally.
We don’t send whoever’s available next. We listen to your story, learn your parent’s personality and history, and match a caregiver who gets the specific rhythm your household needs. That consistency reduces confusion and builds trust, which Alzheimer’s Care depends on.
Alzheimer’s Care isn’t predictable. A medication interaction, a bad night’s sleep, a sudden mood change, a fall risk we didn’t see coming. You reach us directly, not a voicemail tree. We adjust fast.
We know Danbury Hospital’s discharge process, we know Newtown’s streets and neighborhoods, and we’re here year-round. We’re not a national chain using a script. We’re in your community.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Alzheimer’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We help with medication timing, prepare meals and remind your parent to eat, keep a structured routine so their brain has a container to live in, watch for wandering or unsafe choices, assist with personal care, and offer companionship that breaks the fear and confusion. We also take notes on changes, mood, appetite, sleep, and share them with you and their doctor. We're eyes and hands doing the work you can't do alone.
Often within days, sometimes the same week. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge team, get the medical summary and any new orders, and then do a home visit with you to build the care plan. If your parent comes home on a Monday, we can typically start by Wednesday or Thursday. We move fast because those early home days after a hospital stay are when confusion and falls are highest.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits, but not the daily structure, safety monitoring, and companion care that Alzheimer's Care is built on. We can point you toward resources and discuss rates transparently. It's not cheap, and we won't pretend it is, but most families find it's far less than full-time facility care.
A home health aide handles personal care tasks, often ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care is deeper. We're trained in dementia behavior, safety planning, wandering prevention, medication management, and the emotional work of keeping someone oriented and calm as their brain changes. We're also available when you need flexibility and consistency, not just when insurance approves visits.
Yes, that's the core of what we do. We ask about your parent's history, personality, what made them happy, what frightens them, their sleep pattern, any behaviors that escalate, medical needs, and what your family needs most. Then we match a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. That person comes to know your parent deeply, which reduces confusion and behavioral crises.
We have backup caregivers we've trained and vetted. We'll give your parent notice and context if possible, and we send someone familiar to them or brief the backup thoroughly before arrival. Continuity matters in Alzheimer's Care, so we don't leave gaps. You won't get a stranger on short notice without a heads-up from us first.
