Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support designed for people whose memory is changing and whose daily routines need structure and oversight. It’s not medical nursing. It’s someone trained to recognize how Alzheimer’s progression affects behavior, safety, and the ability to manage a day, and who knows how to keep things steady when confusion sets in.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, and the routines that keep your family member grounded. They watch for wandering, keep the house safe, stay alert to changes in mood or appetite, and give you the break you need so you can sleep, work, or just breathe. They’re also the person who notices when something shifts and lets you know before a small problem becomes a crisis.
Oxford families often reach out to us after a stay at Griffin Hospital or when they realize the situation at home is getting harder to manage alone. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression from clinical experience, not just training. That background helps us match you with someone who sees what’s really happening and knows how to respond.
Our founders are nurses who’ve worked through Alzheimer’s progression with families. We know what structure looks like, how to recognize when someone is unsafe to wander, and how to talk to family members who are running on empty. That clinical background means your caregiver isn’t guessing.
We don’t just send someone to show up. We ask about your parent’s history, their habits, what upsets them, and what calms them. Your caregiver gets a detailed briefing before day one, so they’re not learning your family’s life on the clock.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent has a bad day, if you need to shift hours, or if something worries you, you reach us directly. We adjust. We don’t disappear at 5 p.m.
We understand the Griffin Hospital discharge process and how to connect with local doctors and specialists. We’re local enough to move quickly and experienced enough to anticipate what your family will need next.

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
A caregiver comes to your home to help with personal care, meals, medication reminders, and keeping a routine. They supervise activities, watch for safety concerns like wandering, monitor mood and appetite, and give you a block of time to handle other responsibilities or rest. They also notice changes, track what they observe, and keep you informed. It's not medical care, but it's skilled attention to how Alzheimer's affects your parent's day.
We typically can match a caregiver within 48 hours of your call, sometimes sooner. We work closely with Griffin's discharge team and understand the transition home. Once we know your parent's situation, we get someone in place quickly so you're not managing alone those first vulnerable days after hospital discharge.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of in-home support. We're transparent about rates upfront and can discuss payment options with you. Some families use long-term care insurance, personal funds, or family contributions to cover the cost.
Home health aides provide support ordered by a doctor for medical recovery or skilled nursing needs, and insurance often covers it. Alzheimer's Care is private pay support focused on daily structure, safety, and managing behavioral or memory changes specific to Alzheimer's progression. Our caregivers are trained in dementia-specific strategies, not just basic personal care.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, triggers, interests, and what a good day looks like for them. We look for a caregiver whose temperament fits, who has experience with similar situations, and who feels like a natural fit for your family. It's not just availability. It's the right person.
We maintain a backup network so someone can step in if your regular caregiver is sick or on vacation. We let you know in advance and brief the backup caregiver on your parent's routine and needs. You're never left scrambling, and your parent isn't confused by a completely unfamiliar face without warning.
