Your sister noticed something wasn’t right when your mom forgot she’d already told the story three times at Thanksgiving dinner. Then came the call from the neighbor on Pomfret Road, saying your dad had walked to the mailbox in his slippers at midnight. By the time your mom’s appointment at Day Kimball confirmed what you’d been afraid to name, you knew you couldn’t do this alone anymore.

Alzheimer’s Care is home support designed around memory loss and the safety concerns that come with it. Your parent gets help staying on track with routines, medications, and meals. A trained caregiver stays alert to wandering risks, confusion patterns, and the small changes that tell you the disease is shifting. It’s not just supervision. It’s someone who understands what’s happening and why.
On a typical day, Alzheimer’s Care looks like your caregiver helping your parent dress, preparing meals they’ll actually eat, managing medications on time, keeping the house safe from hazards, and staying with them during the hours when confusion is highest. Your parent isn’t left to figure things out alone. The caregiver watches for signs of distress, redirects gently when needed, and keeps a clear head when your parent can’t. You get updates so you know what’s actually happening, not what you’re guessing at.
If your parent just came home from Day Kimball Hospital or was referred by their doctor, Alzheimer’s Care bridges that gap between hospital care and what you can manage at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression from the inside. We know the difference between normal aging and the disease, and we know how to adjust our approach as your parent changes.
Our founder’s background in nursing means we don’t just watch for problems. We understand the disease itself, how it progresses, and what safety really looks like. We know when your parent’s confusion is typical for this stage and when it’s a sign something else is happening.
You tell us what your parent is like, what they’re afraid of, what they respond to. We listen for fit, not just availability. The right caregiver makes the difference between a day that feels manageable and one where everyone is exhausted.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. We’re here when you need us to shift care, answer questions at 10 p.m., or adjust the plan because your parent’s needs shifted overnight. You’re not managing this alone while we’re unreachable.
We work with families in Putnam, Thompson, Killingly, Pomfret, and Woodstock. We understand the discharge process at Day Kimball Hospital and how to coordinate care when your parent comes home. We know the 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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
Your caregiver helps with personal care like bathing and dressing, prepares and supervises meals, manages medications, and keeps your parent safe during high-risk hours. They watch for wandering, redirect gently when confusion rises, and keep the house secure. You get regular updates on what's happening, including any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior. It's not just presence. It's active attention to your parent's safety and wellbeing.
We can often arrange care within 24 to 48 hours of your request. If your parent is being discharged from Day Kimball, we can coordinate with their discharge planner to understand their needs and have a caregiver ready. We ask for a brief conversation before your parent comes home so we get the details right from the start, not scrambled in the confusion of discharge day.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you're responsible for the cost. Medicare covers skilled nursing and some home health services if your parent qualifies through a hospital stay, but ongoing Alzheimer's care is not covered by insurance. We can talk with you about what's realistic for your budget and help you explore other resources, but we're honest that this is out-of-pocket.
A home health aide provides personal care and can help with activities of daily living. Alzheimer's Care includes all of that plus specialized attention to memory loss, safety around wandering, medication management, and the emotional and behavioral changes that come with the disease. Our caregivers understand that your parent isn't being difficult on purpose. They know how to de-escalate, redirect, and keep everyone safe when confusion rises.
Yes. We listen to what your parent was like before the disease, what they respond to, and what your family needs. If your parent does better with a caregiver who's calm and quiet, or who has experience with wandering, or who speaks a specific language, we use that information to find the right match. We're not filling a slot. We're matching a person.
We maintain backup coverage so your parent doesn't go without care. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we'll send someone trained and briefed on your parent's routines and needs. We let you know ahead of time whenever possible so there are no surprises. Continuity matters with Alzheimer's Care, and we take that seriously.
