Your mom used to call you every Sunday after church at First Presbyterian, but last month she forgot she’d already called three times that day. The repetition didn’t upset you at first, but then you realized she wasn’t leaving the house anymore, and your sister mentioned finding the stove on at 2 a.m. You know something has shifted, and you need help that understands what’s actually happening.

Alzheimer’s Care is supervised in-home support for people in early, middle, or late stages of the disease. We’re here to help with daily routines, medication reminders, safety during wandering, meal prep, and the emotional work of keeping structure when memory is failing. Our caregivers understand that Alzheimer’s isn’t just forgetting, it’s a changing person who needs consistency and patience.
On any given day, this might look like helping your parent get dressed, preparing meals they’ll actually eat, redirecting when they’re confused about time, keeping them safe if they wander, and giving you a break so you can sleep or handle the rest of your life. We also watch for falls, skin changes, mood shifts, and medication compliance. We document what we see so you and their doctor stay in the picture.
Many Norwalk families come to us after a discharge from Norwalk Hospital, when the reality of daily Alzheimer’s care hits hard. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to spot what matters medically and how to talk to doctors in their language. You get caregivers who’ve done this work for years, not just people looking for a job.
Being nurse-founded means we recognize the difference between early confusion and late-stage safety crises. We know that structure, routine, and predictability slow down the emotional wear on everyone. We don’t just show up, we anticipate what your parent will need next month and prepare for it.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, habits, and triggers before we send anyone into your home. The right caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s isn’t just kind, they’re calm, patient with repetition, and able to stay grounded when your parent is confused. We listen to what you tell us and we get it right.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent is having a bad day, a new behavior emerges, or you need a caregiver swap, you reach us and we help. We’re not a call center in another state. We’re local and we know the families we serve.
We work with Norwalk Hospital’s discharge planners and we know how care transitions happen here. We’re familiar with your parent’s doctors, the neighborhoods where your family lives, and the specific challenges of managing Alzheimer’s in this community. That matters when every detail counts.

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 include morning routine help (bathing, dressing, grooming), medication reminders and administration, meal prep and feeding support if needed, activities or structured time to reduce restlessness, bathroom assistance, and constant awareness of safety. We also watch for wandering, falls, skin breakdown, or mood changes, and we document what we see so you and their doctor know what's happening. Evening support might include dinner prep, evening routine, and helping your parent settle for bed. The specifics depend on your parent's stage and what you need most.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us right away. We work with Norwalk Hospital's discharge team and we know the paperwork. Once you contact us, we'll do a brief phone screening, talk about your parent's needs, match a caregiver, and get them in your home fast. If you're leaving the hospital with no plan, call us before you leave. We move quickly in those situations.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't pay for custodial or supportive care at home, only skilled nursing in specific situations. We can tell you our rates upfront and we're honest about cost. Some families use long-term care insurance, personal savings, or family contributions. We work with what you have and we don't pretend Medicare will cover what it won't.
A home health aide typically comes after a doctor's order for medical or rehabilitation support, and that care is often covered by insurance for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, private-pay support for someone whose main need is supervision, structure, and help with daily living as cognition declines. Our caregivers are trained specifically for dementia, not just general personal care. We're thinking about behavioral changes, safety in confusion, and long-term management, not recovery from an illness or surgery.
Yes. We listen to details about your parent's personality, what they respond to, their background, any behaviors that worry you, and what time of day is hardest. We then match them with a caregiver who has experience with that profile. If it's not working after a trial period, we adjust. We've found that the right match makes all the difference between a parent accepting help and resisting it every day.
We have backup caregivers in Norwalk and Fairfield County who know our approach and can step in. We try not to surprise your parent with a completely new face, so we introduce backups ahead of time when possible. If something is urgent and expected caregivers are down, we cover it. You're not left hanging. We also communicate any changes to you right away so there are no surprises.
