Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone whose memory and thinking are changing. It means a trained caregiver comes to your home to help with the routines that are getting harder, to watch for safety risks, and to give you room to breathe. This isn’t medical nursing. It’s someone who understands how the disease moves, and how to slow the panic that comes with it.
Day-to-day, that looks like helping your parent get dressed, manage medications on time, eat regular meals, and stay safe if they wander. It means keeping the same caregiver when possible so they build trust, and it means someone noticing small changes before they become falls or crises. Families tell us they sleep better knowing there’s another set of eyes, and someone who won’t get frustrated when the same story gets told four times.
If your parent is being discharged from Yale New Haven Hospital after a hospital stay, or if a doctor has mentioned memory concerns at an appointment, Alzheimer’s Care can start quickly and work alongside whatever medical team is in place. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to read what’s actually happening with progression, how to keep structure when routines fall apart, and why your exhaustion is real and not something you should manage alone.
Our founder is a nurse who spent years watching families navigate Alzheimer’s. We understand the progression, the safety worries, the wandering risk, and the bone-deep exhaustion that happens when you’re the only one paying attention. We’ve built our approach around what actually works, not what sounds good.
We don’t send whoever is available. We talk to you first about your parent’s personality, what calms them, what triggers confusion, and what structure looks like in your home. Then we find a caregiver whose experience and temperament fit. It takes longer, but it’s the only way trust actually builds.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a script. Your parent might sleep more, wander differently, stop eating foods they loved. When something shifts, you need to reach us. We answer, we listen, and we adjust the care plan without making you feel like you’re asking too much.
We know the North Haven neighborhoods, we work with Yale New Haven Hospital on discharge planning, and we understand the specific resources and rhythms of this area. That means faster response time and care that fits where you actually live.

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.

Common questions
A typical day might start with your caregiver helping your parent shower and get dressed, then making sure medications are taken with breakfast. Throughout the day, they're watching for wandering risk, keeping activities structured and calm, helping with meals and hydration, and noting any changes. Some days include a walk or a simple activity that keeps the mind engaged. At the end of the day, they're preparing for evening routines and making sure your parent is safe before bedtime. It's not a rigid checklist. It's someone present, noticing, and keeping things as normal as possible.
We can often start within 48 hours if that's what you need. When someone comes home from Yale New Haven Hospital with memory concerns or a recent diagnosis, timing matters. We coordinate with the hospital discharge team, get the medical history, and have a caregiver in your North Haven home quickly. The first few days after discharge are critical, and we don't make you wait.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We know that's a hard conversation. What we can tell you is that the cost is predictable, there are no hidden fees, and you control the hours and schedule. Some families use long-term care insurance or set up a care fund with siblings. We can talk through options when you call.
A home health aide is typically ordered by a doctor for medical reasons and is covered by insurance for a specific number of hours. Alzheimer's Care is custodial and behavioral support that we arrange privately. It means we can customize the schedule, keep the same caregiver long-term for trust and continuity, and design the support around the disease progression, not a medical billing code. Home health ends when insurance says it does. Alzheimer's Care stays as long as your parent needs it.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what comforts them, what triggers confusion, and what daily structure looks like for you. We listen to what you need too, because this isn't just about your parent. We then match based on experience, temperament, and availability. It's not instant, but it's right. If the first match isn't working, we adjust.
We keep backup coverage so your routine doesn't collapse if your regular caregiver gets sick or has an emergency. We notify you quickly, we send someone familiar with your parent's needs, and we make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. Consistency matters with Alzheimer's, so we work hard to minimize disruption. You'll never wonder if someone is showing up.
