Alzheimer’s Care is hands-on support for someone navigating memory loss, behavioral changes, and the early and middle stages of the disease. We’re not medical nursing, but we are trained to recognize what Alzheimer’s looks like day-to-day, to keep routines stable, and to watch for safety risks like wandering or medication confusion. Our caregivers work with your parent’s neurologist and primary care team to support what the doctors have started.
On a typical day, this looks like helping with personal care, reminding about meals and medications, keeping your parent engaged in activities that still feel meaningful, and being the steady presence in the room when confusion or anxiety builds. We notice patterns, we document what we see, and we catch small changes before they become crises. We’re there when you can’t be, which means you can stop running on fumes.
Many Preston families come to us after a hospital stay at William W. Backus Hospital, where discharge planning first flags memory concerns. Being nurse-founded means our caregivers have seen how the medical side works and can speak that language with your doctors while keeping the focus on your parent’s daily life and dignity.
Our founder is a nurse who has spent years watching how memory loss unfolds and how it exhausts families. We don’t treat Alzheimer’s Care as just another service. We match caregivers who understand progression, who know how to keep structure when confusion rises, and who watch for wandering risks before they happen.
Before a caregiver shows up at your door, we brief them on your parent’s history, quirks, fears, and what worked yesterday. We match, not just fill a schedule. We want your parent and your family to recognize the person we send.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a script. When you call with a concern at 3 p.m., we answer. When your parent’s behavior shifts, we adjust the plan. We’re not a call center. We’re local, we know your situation, and we move fast.
We know Preston, we know how William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge team works, and we know the neurologists and primary care doctors your parent sees. That local knowledge means faster communication and a caregiver who can navigate your 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
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
A caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. They prepare meals and remind about eating and taking medications. They keep your parent engaged in activities, take walks if that feels safe, and watch for signs of confusion, anxiety, or behavioral changes. They document what they see so you and the doctor have a clear picture. Most importantly, they provide the calm, patient presence that helps your parent feel less scared.
We can often start within 48 hours of discharge if you reach out right away. We'll get the discharge summary, talk to you about what your parent needs, brief the caregiver, and show up ready. If your parent is still in the hospital, we can coordinate the handoff before they leave. Speed matters when you're newly diagnosed and unsure what to do next.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and insurance cover skilled nursing and home health aide services, but those are different from what we do. We work outside that system so we can stay flexible, stay longer, and focus on your parent's comfort rather than billing requirements. Many families find the cost worth it when they stop paying for crisis care.
A home health aide comes through a doctor's order for specific medical tasks. Alzheimer's Care is what you hire when you need someone trained to recognize memory loss, keep structure, and catch safety issues before they become emergencies. Our caregivers understand how Alzheimer's progresses and what you're feeling as the family member watching it happen.
Yes. We start with a conversation about your parent's personality, what they're afraid of, what they still enjoy, and what worries you most. We then match someone with experience in those areas and brief them fully before they meet your parent. This is not a rotation of strangers. This is building a relationship.
We don't leave you hanging. We have backup coverage and will send a trained caregiver who knows your parent's file. We also call ahead so you're not surprised and your parent has a heads-up. If we can't cover it ourselves, we'll tell you straight so you can plan.
