Alzheimer’s Care is help you bring into your home when memory loss and confusion start changing who your parent is day-to-day. It’s not nursing or medical treatment. It’s a trained caregiver in your house, helping with the routines, the safety, the structure that keeps someone with Alzheimer’s from feeling as lost.
You’ll see a caregiver help with breakfast without arguments, walk with your parent to keep them safe if they wander, keep medication on track, offer conversation and calm when confusion sets in, and give you the time to stop holding your breath. Many families tell us the biggest relief is knowing someone is there while they’re at work or finally getting sleep at night.
Danbury Hospital sees Ridgefield families after a fall, a hospital stay, or a diagnosis that changes everything. We know that discharge day, and we know what comes home with you. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s progresses, what actually works with structure and safety, and why you’re so tired. We staff and match the right person to your parent, not just any available caregiver.
Our founder is a nurse who’s been in homes doing this work. We’re not guessing at what helps with wandering, medication routines, or the fear that comes with memory loss. We understand progression and what structure actually does.
We spend time learning what your parent needs, what calms them, what routines matter most. Then we find a caregiver who gets that, not just someone available this week. You’ll know who’s coming and why.
Alzheimer’s Care isn’t set it and forget it. We’re here when your parent’s needs shift, when a caregiver needs to adjust their approach, when you need to talk through what you’re seeing. You reach a person, not a phone tree.
We know Ridgefield, Wilton, Danbury Hospital’s discharge process, and the caregivers who understand this area. We can start care quickly and we know the local resources your family might need.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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
Your caregiver will help with breakfast and getting dressed, keep an eye on medications and the clock, offer activities that give structure to the day, and watch for safety concerns like wandering or falls. They might take your parent for a walk, sit together looking at photos, or just keep them company while you're not home. They'll notice small changes and report back to you. It's presence, structure, and safety all day long.
We can often start within a few days if you're ready. We'll get your parent's discharge paperwork, talk through what happened in the hospital and what you're worried about at home, then match a caregiver who understands post-hospital routines. If it's urgent, we move fast. Most Ridgefield families are coordinating this while still processing a lot, and we handle the details.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you pay us directly. Medicare and most insurance don't cover non-medical caregiving, even though it's often the most helpful thing a family can do. We can give you a clear cost breakdown and help you think through what hours make sense for your budget. Many families find it's worth shifting other expenses to make this happen.
Home health aides do medical or hands-on personal care, usually after a doctor's order. Alzheimer's Care is about presence, routine, and keeping your parent safe and calm when memory loss is the main issue. We're not doing wound care or physical therapy. We're doing the everyday help that lets someone with Alzheimer's stay home and feel less scared.
Yes. We ask you a lot of questions first. Does your parent do better with a male or female caregiver? Do they want someone who's quiet or conversational? Are there memories or hobbies that matter to them? Do they have a history we should know about? Then we find someone local who fits, not just someone with an opening. You'll meet them before care starts.
We have a backup plan and we tell you about it upfront. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we bring in someone we know and trust, not a stranger. We let you know the same day so you're not surprised. We understand that Alzheimer's Care works best with consistency, so we try hard to keep the same person in your home.
