Your sister noticed something different at Thanksgiving dinner near Route 2, the way your mom repeated the same question three times in twenty minutes. A few weeks later, the call came from a neighbor on Wylie Road saying your dad was outside looking lost. You knew something had shifted, and you needed someone who understood not just Alzheimer’s, but what it actually means to manage it at home, day after day.

Alzheimer’s Care is structured, experienced support for someone whose memory and thinking are changing. It’s not about medical treatments. It’s about the daily rhythm, keeping your parent safe, spotting patterns in behavior, and giving you a break when you need to breathe.
On any given day, your caregiver is there to help with meals, medication reminders, keeping a routine that feels familiar, watching for wandering or confusion, and noting what works and what doesn’t. You get feedback about how they actually spent their time, not just a time sheet. You also get back some of your own life, which matters more than people talk about.
Many families in North Stonington come to us after a hospital stay at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, where a doctor says, ‘Your parent needs more help at home.’ We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medication timing, recognizing decline, and what questions to ask. We’re not new to Alzheimer’s. We’ve been there.
We don’t treat every day the same. As memory changes, we adjust the structure, the cues, the environment. We know what safety looks like when someone wanders, and we know the exhaustion you’re living with. Being nurse-founded means we see the whole picture, not just the tasks.
We listen to what your family actually needs, then we find someone experienced with Alzheimer’s specifically. We brief your caregiver on your parent’s history, habits, and triggers. The first week isn’t a guessing game. You tell us what to watch for, and they know before they walk in the door.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stay predictable. If something shifts, you call us. If your regular caregiver needs to swap out, we find a backup from people we already know. You’re not starting over with a stranger every time something happens.
We know the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital discharge process because we work with it regularly. We’re familiar with the doctors, the pharmacies, the other services in North Stonington and Stonington. That local knowledge means fewer misunderstandings and faster response when you need it.

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
Your caregiver is there to help with meals and eating, medication reminders, getting dressed or bathing if needed, keeping a routine that feels normal, and managing the home environment for safety. They're watching for signs of confusion or distress, and they're noting what happened so you know how your parent actually spent the day. They're also there so you can take a break, run an errand, or just sit quietly for an hour. That last part is healthcare too.
Usually within a few days, sometimes the same week. We get the discharge paperwork, we talk to you about what the hospital saw and what you're worried about, and we match someone who has worked with post-discharge Alzheimer's before. We don't wait weeks. Families coming home from the hospital need help now, and we move.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and rehabilitation for a short time after hospitalization, but ongoing care for memory loss is usually not covered. We work with families on scheduling and budget. We're honest about cost upfront, and we don't surprise you with bills later. Many families find that having a caregiver a few days a week is more affordable than they thought.
A home health aide is usually sent by a medical agency after a hospital discharge, and they're paid for by insurance for a set number of weeks. Alzheimer's Care is longer-term, private-pay support focused on memory loss and behavior, not medical tasks. We also match based on Alzheimer's experience specifically, brief your caregiver on your parent's history, and adjust as the condition changes. We're designed for the long game, not the short recovery.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their triggers, what calms them, and what their days looked like before memory loss started. Then we find someone experienced with Alzheimer's who fits that picture. We don't send a rotation of different people. We find the right person and we keep them consistent. Your parent's trust matters.
We have backup caregivers we've already trained and vetted who can step in. We call you first, we let you know who's coming, and we make sure that person knows your parent's routine and needs. We don't leave you scrambling. This is the reality of caregiving, and we plan for it.
