Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care isn’t medical nursing. It’s someone trained to recognize how Alzheimer’s changes behavior, memory, and safety, and to adjust moment by moment. We help your parent stay oriented through routine, we watch for wandering, we handle the tasks that exhaust you, and we keep things as normal as possible while the disease progresses.
On a typical day, this means medication reminders, meals that actually get eaten, gentle redirection when confusion rises, monitoring for falls or unsafe behavior, and giving you a few hours where you know your parent is safe and engaged. Some days are calm. Other days, we’re the steady hand when things shift.
Many families come to us after a Hospital of Central Connecticut discharge, when you’re sent home with instructions but no real plan for the hours in between. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression and what to watch for, not just task completion. We become part of your team, staying alert to changes that matter.
Our founder is a nurse who walked this road. We don’t treat every day the same. We recognize how Alzheimer’s moves through stages, what safety looks like at each one, and when you need different support. That experience shows up in how we respond to your parent.
A caregiver for Alzheimer’s Care needs patience, observation skills, and the ability to stay calm when confusion peaks. We interview and place people who understand that your parent isn’t being difficult, they’re being scared. The match matters more than speed.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t announce its shifts. You might call us at 3 a.m. or notice something new at breakfast. We answer. We adjust. We don’t disappear when the care gets harder.
We work regularly with Hospital of Central Connecticut and understand the transition from their care to home. We show up ready, we know your parent’s recent history, and we’re already woven into the local medical community.

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

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver helps with personal care, meals, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and watching for safety issues like wandering or falls. They keep structure because routine calms Alzheimer's anxiety. They redirect gently when your parent repeats a story or gets stuck on something. They also give you real time away, which is not a luxury, it's survival. The focus is keeping your parent engaged and safe, and keeping you from running on empty.
We typically start within 48 hours if you contact us before discharge. We ask the hospital for your parent's records, we do a brief home visit to understand the space and any safety concerns, and we match a caregiver who's already read the situation. If you're calling after discharge, we move faster. We've done this many times from the Hospital of Central Connecticut and know the process.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or rehabilitation, not this type of in-home support. Some long-term care insurance may cover it, so check your policy. We work with families on scheduling and frequency to fit their budget, and we're honest about cost from the start. No surprises.
A home health aide follows a medical order and focuses on tasks. Alzheimer's Care is trained to understand how the disease affects behavior, memory, and safety. Our caregivers watch for medication errors, recognize when confusion is rising, know how to redirect without conflict, and understand that keeping your parent's dignity matters as much as keeping them clean. It's the difference between task completion and disease-informed care.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what calms them, what triggers frustration, and what time of day is hardest. We match based on that, not just availability. If your parent needs someone patient with repetition, or someone who can handle sundowning, or someone who speaks their first language, we listen and we place accordingly. A bad match makes everything worse. We don't do that.
We have backup coverage so your parent isn't suddenly without care. We brief our backup caregivers on your parent's situation so they're not walking in cold. We also call you first if we know in advance, so you can plan. We're small enough to care, but organized enough to be reliable when life happens.
