Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support designed around how the disease actually progresses. We’re not just here to help with daily tasks. We’re here to keep your parent safe as their memory changes, to maintain routines that keep them calm, and to notice the small shifts that matter, like medication doses or new wandering patterns.
On any given day, your caregiver is tracking what your parent ate, whether they took their pills on time, how they slept, and any changes in mood or behavior. We help them get dressed, manage hygiene, prepare meals they’ll actually eat, and stay engaged. We also watch for falls, wandering, confusion around time, and the moments when your parent needs grounding or a quiet activity instead of frustration.
Many Simsbury families come to us after a hospital stay at Hartford Hospital, where doctors say your parent can go home but the reality of managing Alzheimer’s at home hits differently. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand disease progression and safety in ways that go beyond typical home help. We know what to watch for, when to flag changes, and how to keep your parent’s days structured so their anxiety drops.
Our founder is a nurse who built this agency because she watched family members struggle with Alzheimer’s at home and felt the weight of it. That’s why our Alzheimer’s Care caregivers are trained to recognize wandering risk, medication confusion, and the signs of sundowning. We know it’s not just about tasks, it’s about keeping your parent safe and your family from breaking.
We don’t send someone on day one and hope it works. We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific personality, what calms them, what triggers confusion, and what their day needs to look like. We match based on experience with Alzheimer’s progression and personality fit, not just availability.
Alzheimer’s Care needs don’t stay the same. You might call us on a Wednesday and say your parent is wandering at night now, or they’ve stopped eating breakfast. We listen, adjust the plan, and make sure your caregiver has what they need to handle the new reality.
We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process and we work with families in Simsbury, Avon, Granby, West Hartford, and Canton. We understand the gaps between hospital discharge and real life at home, and we’re set up to start quickly and stay connected to your parent’s medical team.

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.

Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded.

Common questions
A typical day includes helping your parent with breakfast and medications, keeping them dressed and groomed, preparing lunch and snacks they'll eat, managing bathroom needs, and keeping them engaged or rested depending on how they're doing. Your caregiver also watches for wandering, confusion around time or place, mood changes, and anything that needs reporting. We keep notes on what happened so you and their doctor know what's really going on at home.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of you calling us. We'll do a brief visit to meet your parent, understand their home setup and their specific needs, and then match a caregiver with Alzheimer's experience. If discharge is planned, let us know and we'll coordinate the timing so there's no gap where your parent is home alone.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We work with families who are able to pay out of pocket, and we're transparent about costs upfront. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal savings, and we're happy to discuss rates and what different levels of support cost.
Home health aides are medical support ordered by a doctor after hospitalization and are often covered by insurance, but they focus on medical tasks and typically don't have specialized training in Alzheimer's behavior and safety. Alzheimer's Care is private pay and is designed around the disease itself, with caregivers trained to handle wandering, sundowning, medication confusion, and the emotional and behavioral changes that come with memory loss. We're built for the long haul of managing Alzheimer's at home.
Yes, that's how we work. We want to know your parent's personality, what they like to talk about, how they react to change, whether they wander, what times of day are hardest, and what foods they'll eat. We match on experience and temperament, not just scheduling. We also introduce the caregiver before they start so your parent can meet them first.
We have backup caregivers we can send, and we brief them on your parent's routine and needs before they arrive. We won't send someone unfamiliar without notice, and we'll call you first to let you know who's coming. Our goal is consistency, but we're also ready for real life, where people get sick or schedules change.
