Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support in your home as your parent’s memory and thinking change. We’re there to help with the daily routines that become harder: getting dressed, taking medications on time, staying safe when they wander. We also watch for the smaller shifts, the ones that matter but don’t make it into a doctor’s report.
On a typical day, a caregiver helps with breakfast and morning routines, keeps an eye on medication schedules, takes a walk together, helps with lunch, and checks that your parent isn’t using the stove unsupervised. We keep things structured because structure is what works when memory fades. We also watch for falls, unusual behavior, or signs that something else is happening medically. And we’re honest with you about what we’re seeing.
After Waterbury Hospital discharge, families in Prospect often call us because they know their parent can’t be left alone but they have work, other kids, or just need to sleep. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression the way a family member who’s studied it would, not just from training manuals. We know the hospitals here, the doctors, and how to talk to them.
Our founder is a nurse who watched her own family go through this. We know the difference between a bad day and a real decline, between stubbornness and fear, between what you can handle and what you can’t. That’s not something you learn in a textbook.
We spend time understanding your parent, your family, and what matters most. If your dad was a carpenter, we find someone who can talk to him about that. If your mom needs someone patient with bathroom anxiety, we listen to that and match accordingly.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. We’re here when you realize your parent’s wandering at 2 a.m., or when a medication isn’t working, or when you need to shift from three days a week to five. You get us, not a call center.
We live here. We know the discharge nurses at Waterbury Hospital, how long post-hospital transitions usually take, and what paperwork you’ll need. That local knowledge saves you time and reduces your stress.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Alzheimer’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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 comes to your home and handles the routines that become difficult: helping with bathing and dressing, preparing meals, reminding about medications, supervising use of the stove or dangerous items, and keeping your parent engaged and safe. We also watch for signs of pain, infection, or other health problems that your parent can't communicate clearly anymore. We keep detailed notes about what we see, what worked, and what didn't, so you and their doctor stay informed.
If you call us while your parent is still at Waterbury Hospital, we can often have someone in place within 48 to 72 hours. We work directly with discharge planners there and move fast because we know those first days home are the hardest. If you're already home, call us and we'll talk through what you need right now.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. Some long-term care insurance policies may cover it, so check your parent's policy. We work with families at different budgets, from a few hours a week to full-time coverage, and we can talk through what makes sense for you.
Home health aides are typically sent after a hospital discharge for specific medical tasks and skilled nursing oversight. Alzheimer's Care is longer-term, focused on the behavioral and safety challenges that come with memory loss, and it's ongoing even after medical recovery. We're also here for the companionship and structure that keep your parent calmer and safer.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, triggers, what they love, and what makes them anxious. We listen to what you need as the family member too. Then we match someone based on that, not just on availability. If the first match isn't right, we adjust.
We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's routine, and we let you know in advance if there's any change. We don't leave you without coverage. Your parent is already dealing with memory loss and confusion, so consistency matters, and we take that seriously.
