You got the call from your sister after Thanksgiving dinner at the Hotchkiss campus. She’d noticed your mom couldn’t follow the conversation anymore, kept asking the same question three times in ten minutes. A month later, after a fall she didn’t mention for two days, the doctor said what you’d been afraid to name. You’re not alone in Sharon, and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.

Alzheimer’s Care is structured daily support for someone whose memory and thinking are changing. We’re here to help manage the middle hours, the repetition, the safety concerns, and the exhaustion that comes from being a family member watching this progression. It’s about keeping your parent safe, keeping a rhythm to their day, and giving you a break from being on alert all the time.
On a typical day, our caregiver helps with breakfast and medication timing, takes a walk or does an activity to keep the day moving, watches for signs of restlessness or confusion, reminds about lunch, helps with bathroom safety, and stays alert for anything that feels off. We’re not nurses in the clinical sense, but we know what to watch for and what to report. We keep notes so you know what happened while we were there.
Sharon Hospital sees Alzheimer’s patients come through after falls, UTIs, and medication mishaps that families didn’t catch in time. We work with discharge planners there and know the post-hospital window when everything feels fragile. Our nurses founded this agency because they kept seeing families overwhelmed at home, after the hospital discharge, with no structure and no one who understood the progression. That’s what we do.
Our team knows what happens at three months, six months, a year in. We don’t panic at repetition or sundowning or the way your parent insists on something that isn’t true. We keep a rhythm and a structure because we’ve seen how much that helps, and we’re honest when things are shifting.
We don’t assign someone random. We listen to who your parent is, what they respond to, what time of day is hardest, whether they need quiet or activity. Then we match thoughtfully and check in. If it’s not working, we adjust.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. You text or call with a question about behavior, about dosing confusion, about whether this is normal. We answer, and we help you know when a doctor’s call is necessary.
We know Sharon, Salisbury, Cornwall, Kent. We understand the drive to Sharon Hospital, the relationship with your doctors there, the rural reality of getting help fast. We’re not a national service dropping in cold.

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

We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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 arrives at a time you set. They help with breakfast, make sure medications are taken, stay with your parent through the mid-day hours when confusion is often worst, suggest an activity or walk, help with lunch, monitor for safety, and leave detailed notes about mood, appetite, any incidents, and what worked. They're not doing medical nursing tasks, but they're trained to spot when something is wrong and to keep your parent safe and engaged.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you call right away. We work with Sharon Hospital's discharge team, and we understand the urgency of those first few days home when everything is new medication, new weakness, and new fear. The faster we start, the safer the transition.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy after a hospital stay, but it doesn't cover what we do, which is daily supervision, structure, and the person who keeps your parent safe and engaged at home. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We help families think through the hours and costs upfront.
A home health aide usually comes after a hospital discharge and focuses on personal care tasks like bathing and dressing, under a nurse's supervision. Alzheimer's Care is about structure, safety, and keeping your parent engaged during the hours when you can't be there. We're not wound care or medical tasks. We're the person who prevents a crisis by being present.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about who your parent is, what they love, what makes them anxious, what time of day is hardest, whether they need someone quiet or someone talkative. Then we find someone who fits and we trial it. If it's not right, we adjust. Good matching is everything in Alzheimer's Care.
We keep backup coverage as much as we can. If your regular person is sick, we bring in a trained substitute who knows your parent's routine from our notes. We don't cancel and leave you stranded. If someone is out, you know in advance and we have someone in place.
