Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support in your home designed around how the disease actually progresses. We’re not here to cure it. We’re here to keep your parent safe, maintain routines that ground them, prevent wandering, manage medications, and give your family a chance to breathe. It’s memory care that meets reality.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with bathing and dressing, medication reminders, meals and hydration, safe mobility, and keeping time structured so your parent doesn’t become disoriented by empty hours. We’re watching for falls, infections, mood changes, and the small signs that tell us the disease is shifting. We’re also watching your family, because caregiver burnout is real and it happens fast.
Families in Somers often reach out after a hospital stay, sometimes at Rockville General Hospital, when a post-discharge plan falls apart because home care alone isn’t enough for what Alzheimer’s requires. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand disease progression, not just tasks. We know what to escalate and when.
Our founder is a nurse who built this agency because standard home care doesn’t account for Alzheimer’s complexity. We know the difference between normal aging and memory loss that’s accelerating. We catch things early and we know how to adjust before a crisis forces the issue.
It’s not just about finding someone available. We listen to what your parent responds to, what makes them feel safe, whether they need routine, structure, or more freedom. We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific progression, personality, and what calms them down when they’re confused or upset.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stay still. You might call us because your parent is more agitated, or they’ve stopped eating breakfast, or they’re up at 3 a.m. We adjust the plan without making you beg for it. You reach us, and we listen.
We work with Rockville General Hospital’s discharge team, we understand the local landscape, and we serve all of Somers and the towns around you, Enfield, Ellington, Stafford, East Granby. We’re not a distant national chain. We’re local.

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
Personal care like bathing, grooming, and dressing. Medication reminders and supervision. Meal preparation and feeding help if needed. Monitoring for safety hazards and preventing wandering. Keeping a structured routine so your parent stays oriented to time and place. We also watch for signs of infection, falls, mood changes, and communicate those to you and their doctor. We're there to give your family time to rest.
Usually within 24 to 48 hours. We work with Rockville General's discharge planners to understand what happened, why your parent is home, and what they need. We can start with a preliminary caregiver while we do a full assessment and find the right long-term match. If it's urgent, we move faster. The hospital knows us, and the handoff is smoother because of that.
Not typically. Alzheimer's Care is private pay because it's ongoing and not medical in the traditional sense. Medicare covers skilled nursing for a short window after hospitalization. We work with families on what they can afford and we're honest about that conversation. We help you think through options, but we don't pretend our service is covered when it isn't.
A home health aide provides personal care tasks. Alzheimer's Care includes all of that, but it's built around understanding the disease. Our caregivers know how to communicate with someone whose memory is fading, how to keep them safe from wandering, how to recognize when confusion is turning into agitation, and how to maintain structure that slows disorientation. It's specialized. It matters.
Yes, absolutely. We ask you detailed questions about your parent's personality, what makes them anxious, what they respond to, whether they're an early riser or need quiet mornings, if they like to be busy or prefer calm. We then match that to caregivers who have experience with that kind of Alzheimer's progression and temperament. The first few days, we're watching how it goes and we adjust if needed.
We have backup coverage. You don't go without. We call you, we tell you who's coming, we brief the replacement caregiver on your parent's needs, and we make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. We know that consistency matters with Alzheimer's, so we try to keep the same person when we can. But when we can't, we have you covered.
