Alzheimer’s Care is support designed for people in early, middle, or late stages of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. We’re not just watching the house. We’re here because the disease changes memory, judgment, safety awareness, and routine. Your parent might wander. They might forget medications. They might become agitated or stop eating. The disease pulls at your family every single day.
On a typical day, our caregivers keep structure in place: the same breakfast time, the same walk route, the same way of checking in. We watch for wandering risk and use simple redirection. We make sure medications go in on time. We notice when eating changes or when a fall happens. We’re eyes and presence in the house. We also give you time to work, to sleep, to stop holding your breath.
North Branford families often come to us after a hospital stay at Yale New Haven Hospital or after a doctor says the diagnosis out loud. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression in the body and mind, not just in theory. We know what to watch for and when to flag a change.
We understand how Alzheimer’s unfolds in the brain and the body. Our caregivers are trained to recognize wandering risk, medication confusion, and the kind of agitation that scares families. We don’t guess. We know what’s coming and we prepare for it.
We listen to what you’re most afraid of. Wandering? Refusal to eat? A specific personality clash with a stranger in the house? We brief our caregivers on your parent and stay involved in the match. If it’s not working, we move. We’re not rigid.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t wait for business hours. You can reach us when your parent’s behavior changes, when you need to adjust the schedule, or when you need to talk through what you saw today. We answer.
We know the discharge process at Yale New Haven Hospital. We know North Branford neighborhoods and can respond fast. We’re not a 1-800 number. We’re here.

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
Medication reminders and direct observation that they go in. Meals at consistent times. Redirection if your parent is agitated or asking the same question for the tenth time. We watch for wandering and respond to it before your parent gets to the door. We notice falls, changes in eating, changes in mood. We keep the day structured because structure calms the Alzheimer's brain. We also give you real breaks, which matters more than you know right now.
If you call us on discharge day, we can often start the next morning or the same evening, depending on the situation and which caregiver is available in North Branford. We work with hospital social workers and case managers. We ask the right questions in the first call so we're not scrambling. If your parent is coming home with new confusion or a new fall risk, speed matters.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy for specific diagnoses, but not the daily structure and safety watch that Alzheimer's requires. We're honest about cost upfront. Many families use long-term care insurance, personal savings, or family resources. We can talk through payment options and help you understand what's realistic.
A home health aide typically comes after a specific medical event (surgery, hospital stay) and is covered by insurance if a doctor orders it. They focus on medical tasks and physical care. Alzheimer's Care is private pay and focuses on the daily structure, safety redirection, and behavioral changes that come with dementia. We're trained to de-escalate agitation, recognize wandering patterns, and keep your parent oriented to the day.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, what they respond to, what scares them, and what you're most worried about. We match based on that, not just on availability. We tell you who's coming, what their experience is, and we ask your parent how it feels. If the match isn't right, we change it. You're not locked in.
We have backup coverage in North Branford. We don't leave you without someone. We call ahead when there's a change so your parent isn't surprised by a new face. We brief the backup caregiver on your parent's routine and triggers. It's not perfect, but it's reliable.
