Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support built around memory loss and the changes that come with it. We help with morning routines, medication reminders, meal preparation, supervision during the day, and keeping your parent safe when they’re restless or want to wander. We’re there to create structure when the day feels shapeless, and to give you a break when you need one.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing and dressing, makes sure meals happen, keeps an eye on the door, manages the TV remote, reminds your parent where they are, and listens when they repeat the same story three times in an hour. We handle the small things that add up to everything. We also watch for falls, missed medications, and signs that things are shifting, and we tell you right away.
Many Old Saybrook families reach out after a stay at Middlesex Hospital, when doctors send your parent home but you realize home care means more than just a nurse visit once a week. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression from the inside, not from a manual. We know what it takes to keep someone safe and to keep you from running on empty.
Our founder was a nurse caring for her own parent through memory loss. That’s why we focus on the things that matter: keeping structure, preventing wandering, catching changes early. We’re not learning this on the job.
We listen to what your parent is like, what you’re most worried about, and what kind of personality works best in your home. Then we bring someone who gets it. We brief every caregiver on the specifics of your parent’s care and your family’s rhythm.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t announce itself on a schedule. When your parent has a difficult day, or you notice something new, we answer. We adjust the care plan, communicate with you, and make sure nothing falls through.
We know the discharge process at Middlesex Hospital, we understand Old Saybrook’s neighborhoods from Route 154 to the shoreline, and we’re familiar with nearby towns like Essex and Clinton. You’re not talking to someone across the state.

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
We help with bathing, dressing, and grooming. We make sure breakfast, lunch, and dinner happen and that medications are taken on time. We supervise during the day, keep an eye on wandering, redirect when your parent is confused or agitated, and stay present so you don't have to. We also note any changes, falls, or concerns and report them to you.
We can often start within days. Once you call us, we ask about your parent's specific needs, get the medical background, and match a caregiver who's trained in Alzheimer's progression and safety. We coordinate with your discharge planner at Middlesex Hospital so there's no gap. If you need someone sooner, we make it happen.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing visits, but not the daily in-home support that keeps your parent safe and gives you relief. We work with families to build a care plan that fits their budget, and we're transparent about what things cost from the start.
A home health aide typically comes after a hospital stay to help with physical recovery and basic tasks. Alzheimer's Care is focused on memory loss, safety, structure, and the behavioral changes that come with it. Our caregivers are trained to redirect confusion, prevent wandering, and recognize when something is shifting. We're here for the long journey, not just the recovery phase.
Yes. We listen to your parent's personality, habits, and what makes them comfortable. We ask about what scares you most, what time of day is hardest, and what your parent still enjoys. Then we bring someone who fits. We also brief that caregiver on everything specific to your parent's care, so they're not learning on the first day.
We have backup caregivers who know your parent's care plan and your home. We don't leave you stranded. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we arrange a replacement and make sure there's continuity. Your phone number stays the same, and you stay in control.
