Alzheimer’s Care is daily support designed around memory loss, confusion, and the safety risks that come with it. We’re talking about caregivers who show up knowing your parent may not remember them, may repeat the same question twenty times in an hour, may wander toward the door at 2 a.m., or may refuse to take medications they genuinely need. It’s not just supervision. It’s structured presence.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meals, medications, and the kind of gentle redirection that keeps your parent safe without making them feel trapped. We manage wandering risk, we keep routines consistent so confusion doesn’t spike, we watch for falls, we recognize when something’s physically wrong beneath the behavioral changes, and we give your family the space to actually breathe. We also spot the small changes, like appetite dropping or sleep inverting, before they become crises.
Families in South Windsor trust us partly because we’re nurse-founded. That means our caregivers are trained to recognize medical changes, not just behavioral ones, and to communicate clearly with doctors at Manchester Memorial Hospital or your parent’s primary care team. When your parent comes home from the hospital after a fall or infection, we know the discharge instructions aren’t just paperwork. We know how to keep them safe while they’re still confused from the stay.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stay the same month to month. Your parent’s needs will shift, and a caregiver trained only in general home care won’t see it coming. We’ve built our approach around watching for changes in memory, safety, and behavior, and adjusting our support before something goes wrong. You’re not managing this alone.
We don’t send someone who’s ‘available.’ We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific history, habits, fears, and how Alzheimer’s is showing up right now for them. That matching process takes time, but it means your parent isn’t confused by a stranger, and you’re not retraining someone new every month. Consistency is what keeps Alzheimer’s care working.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow business hours. If your parent’s behavior shifts or a caregiver needs guidance at 10 p.m., we’re available. We’re not handing you off to a call center in another state. We know the situation, we know Manchester Memorial Hospital’s system, and we adjust support in real time.
We live here. We know the doctors at Manchester Memorial Hospital, the discharge process, the neighborhoods in South Windsor where wandering risk is highest, and the local resources your family might need. That familiarity means we’re not starting from scratch when your parent’s care becomes complex.

Why families choose us

Personality fit matters more than skill on paper. We match for temperament, pace, and patience.

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
It includes help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medications, but the heart of it is structure and safety. We keep routines consistent so your parent knows what to expect. We watch for wandering, we help redirect confusion without frustration, we recognize when something physical is wrong, and we stay alert for falls or medication mistakes. We also give you a daily update so you know what happened and what's changing. It's presence with training.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you reach out before discharge. Our caregivers will review your parent's discharge paperwork, medication list, and any new limitations before they arrive. If your parent is confused or in pain from the hospital stay, having trained support in place immediately helps them settle faster and reduces the risk of a second fall or hospital visit. We coordinate with your discharge planner so nothing falls through the cracks.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or physical therapy, but not the daily support and supervision that Alzheimer's requires. We work with families on flexible schedules, from a few hours a week to 24-hour live-in care, so you can find an arrangement that fits your budget and your parent's needs. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it. We're transparent about costs upfront.
Home health aides provide personal care under a doctor's order, typically after hospitalization or injury. Alzheimer's Care is specialized support designed for cognitive decline and the safety, behavioral, and wandering challenges that come with it. Our caregivers are trained to recognize memory loss patterns, to redirect without argument, to keep your parent safe when they don't remember their own home, and to spot medical changes that might be hidden by confusion. It's a different skill set for a different kind of need.
Yes. We listen to your parent's history, personality, what made them feel safe before Alzheimer's, and what triggers confusion or anxiety now. We match a caregiver who fits that profile, brief them thoroughly, and give you time for a trial period before committing to regular care. If it's not working after a week, we find someone else. The match matters, and we don't rush it.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's needs and routine. We don't send someone unfamiliar without warning. If your regular caregiver is sick, we call you as soon as we know, we send someone your parent has met before if possible, and we make sure the backup caregiver is fully briefed on what's happening with your parent's condition. Consistency matters in Alzheimer's care, and we protect that.
