You got a call from your sister after she visited on Thanksgiving. She’d noticed your mom couldn’t find the bathroom in her own house, the one on Waldo Road she’s lived in for thirty years.

Alzheimer’s Care is hands-on support designed for the specific ways dementia changes your parent or spouse. We’re talking about helping with daily routines, keeping medication schedules straight, watching for safety risks like wandering or leaving the stove on, and being present during the confusing or difficult moments that come with progression. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s specialized attention to the person and the disease.
On any given day, your caregiver might help with bathing and dressing, prepare meals, take a walk with your parent to reduce agitation, keep them engaged, notice changes you need to know about, and give you the space to step away without guilt. Alzheimer’s Care also means catching the small things before they become crises, like a missed medication dose, a fall you didn’t see, or a shift in behavior that signals pain or confusion.
Many Plainfield families come to us after a stay at Day Kimball Hospital or after a doctor appointment made it clear that things are changing faster. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s actually progresses, what safety looks like, and how much of this burden falls on you. That foundation shapes everything we do.
Our founder is a nurse who’s worked with Alzheimer’s patients and their families. We know what progression looks like at each stage, how structure helps reduce wandering and agitation, and where the real dangers hide. We’re not learning on the job.
A good caregiver for Alzheimer’s Care isn’t just dependable, they need patience, experience reading confusion, and the calm to stay grounded when your parent is scared or angry. We listen to what your family actually needs, then we find someone who fits.
Alzheimer’s changes week to week. When something shifts, you need to reach us and know we’re listening. We’re local to Plainfield and Windham County, so we’re not a distant call center. You get us.
We work with the discharge planners and care coordinators at Day Kimball. We can start Alzheimer’s Care quickly after your parent comes home, understand their medications and restrictions, and pick up right where the hospital leaves off.

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 helps with bathing, dressing, toileting, and meals. They keep your parent on a medication schedule, take them for a walk or activity to reduce restlessness, and watch for safety risks like leaving doors unlocked or forgetting they've eaten. They also listen and reassure during confusing moments, and they report back to you about changes in mood, appetite, sleep, or behavior. The goal is structure, safety, and your parent feeling calmer.
We can often start within a few days if you let us know soon enough. We work with Day Kimball's discharge team, so we get the paperwork and medical details ahead of time. That means your caregiver isn't walking in blind. If you're being discharged and you know you need Alzheimer's Care, call us while you're still in the hospital.
Most insurance plans don't cover Alzheimer's Care because it's not skilled nursing. We're private pay, which also means you have flexibility, no pre-approvals, and we can adjust hours and support as your parent's needs change. We can talk through what that looks like for your budget.
A home health aide does similar tasks, but usually under a doctor's order for medical reasons after an illness or surgery. Alzheimer's Care is tailored to the disease itself, the confusion and behavior changes and safety risks that come with it. Our caregivers are trained in dementia specifically, not just general personal care.
Yes. We ask you about your parent's personality, what upsets them, what they enjoy, whether they're an early riser or a night owl, and what your biggest concerns are. Then we find someone from our team who's experienced with those specific needs. It's not random, and we're willing to adjust if it's not right.
We don't leave you stranded. If your caregiver is sick or can't make a shift, we have backup. We'll call you as soon as we know, and we'll find a replacement who's familiar with your parent's care plan. It's not perfect, but it's handled.
