Alzheimer’s Care isn’t about medical procedures or nursing tasks. It’s about someone trained in memory loss being present during the hours when your parent is most confused, most at risk of wandering, most likely to forget they’ve already eaten or taken their medication. It’s structure, repetition, and a calm presence when things feel chaotic.
On any given day, Alzheimer’s Care means helping with meals, medications, bathing, and getting dressed. It means recognizing when your parent is upset and knowing how to redirect rather than argue. It means keeping the same routine so their world feels less frightening. It means you’re not the only person watching for safety risks, keeping track of what they’ve done, or trying to fill the silence.
Shelton families often find themselves coordinating care after a Griffin Hospital discharge or realizing they can’t manage alone anymore. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand how Alzheimer’s actually progresses and what families are really dealing with, not just what the diagnosis says on paper. We’ve been there.
A nurse founded this agency because she watched families lose themselves trying to keep up with a disease nobody explains clearly. We understand wandering, sundowning, aggression, and the silent exhaustion that comes from repeating yourself a hundred times a day. We don’t treat Alzheimer’s Care like standard home care.
We spend time understanding who your parent is, what they respond to, and what triggers them. Then we match them with someone who has the right experience and temperament, not just someone available. Your parent will see the same face, build trust, and that matters when memory is failing.
Alzheimer’s Care doesn’t follow a predictable timeline. Your parent might get worse in two weeks or two months. When that happens, you need someone who answers the phone and adjusts the plan, not an 800 number and a wait list.
We understand the Griffin Hospital discharge process, know the neighborhoods where our clients live, and can coordinate with local doctors. Being local means we move fast when you need us and stay connected when things get complicated.

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.

Common questions
A typical day includes helping your parent bathe and dress, reminding them about meals and medications, managing bathroom needs, and keeping them engaged in safe activities. Our caregivers watch for safety risks like wandering or falls, help manage confusion when it peaks (usually late afternoon), and keep the routine your parent depends on. You're paying for someone trained to understand Alzheimer's behavior, not just someone to hand out pills and wait.
We can usually start within 48 to 72 hours if you need us urgently. We work with Griffin Hospital's discharge coordinators regularly and understand what questions to ask and what your parent will need at home. If it's an emergency, we talk same-day. If you have time to plan, we take a few days to match the right caregiver and do a proper intake.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or therapy, not the trained companion care your parent actually needs for daily living and safety. Long-term care insurance sometimes covers it, and some families use funds from savings or family. We're honest about cost because you deserve to know what you're paying for.
A home health aide comes to help with bathing and dressing if a doctor ordered it. Alzheimer's Care is deeper and ongoing. Our caregivers are trained specifically in memory loss, behavior changes, and keeping someone safe when they're confused or scared. They understand that your parent isn't being difficult on purpose. That difference shows up every single day.
Yes. We spend time learning who your parent is, what they like, what upsets them, and whether they do better with someone quiet or someone talkative. We also consider your needs. Then we match them with a caregiver who has experience with that kind of Alzheimer's progression. If it's not right after the first week, we adjust.
We have backup caregivers we've briefed on your parent's needs and routine. We don't just send whoever is free that day. Your parent needs consistency, especially with Alzheimer's, so we only use someone from our pool who has already met your parent or knows their specific situation. If your regular caregiver is sick, you'll have someone you've at least met before.
