Alzheimer’s Care is about keeping your parent safe and oriented while the disease progresses. It’s not just assistance with daily tasks, it’s someone in your home who understands memory loss, who knows how to redirect confusion, who can keep your parent engaged and safe when wandering impulses start. We manage medications, meals, structure, and the constant small adjustments that come as the disease moves forward.
Day-to-day, this looks like a caregiver who arrives on schedule, maintains routine, helps with hygiene and dressing, prepares meals, and watches for safety risks like leaving doors unlocked or the stove on. They’re there to catch the moment confusion rises and to respond with calm rather than frustration. Families tell us the relief of knowing someone experienced is in the house is the difference between exhaustion and survival.
Many Southbury families come to us after a hospital stay at Waterbury Hospital, when discharge planners recommend additional support at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression from clinical experience and from family experience. We know what questions to ask at that first call and how to match the right person to your parent’s needs and your family’s rhythm.
We started this because we lived it. Our founders worked in hospitals and then at home with aging parents, and we know the difference between task-based help and someone who can read the subtle signs Alzheimer’s brings. When your parent is confused, a trained eye matters.
We don’t send the first available person. We listen to what your parent is like, what makes them comfortable, what your family’s schedule and stress points actually are. Then we find someone whose experience fits, whose temperament matches, who can step in and stabilize without your constant direction.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. When a caregiver gets sick, when a new behavior emerges, when you call at 4 p.m. with a crisis, we answer. We know Southbury and we keep backup caregivers trained and ready.
We work with Waterbury Hospital’s discharge team regularly and understand the local system. We know Southbury’s neighborhoods, the nearby resources, and the particular challenges of New Haven County winters and community dynamics. That local knowledge saves time and reduces stress when your parent needs care fast.

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 caregiver comes to your home and handles personal hygiene, dressing, meals, and medication reminders. They keep your parent oriented by maintaining routines, engaging them in activities, and watching for safety issues like wandering, leaving appliances on, or forgetting to eat. They also give you a break from the constant vigilance that Alzheimer's demands. We document changes and communicate with you regularly so you stay informed about how your parent is progressing.
Usually within 24 to 48 hours if we're notified in advance. If you call us while your parent is still at Waterbury Hospital, we can coordinate with their discharge team and have someone ready to meet your parent at home. If it's urgent after discharge, we move fast. The goal is no gap between hospital and home care.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy after a hospital stay, but ongoing Alzheimer's care and daily assistance at home typically falls outside those benefits. We work with families on scheduling and frequency to fit their budget. Some long-term care insurance policies do cover this service, so it's worth checking your parent's policy.
A home health aide is often sent by an agency after a doctor's order for a limited time, usually for recovery from surgery or illness. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for the disease itself. Our caregivers are trained specifically in dementia behavior, memory loss management, and safety. We stay longer, adjust constantly as the disease progresses, and focus on quality of life and family relief, not just task completion.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, habits, what calms them, what triggers confusion or agitation, and how your family works best. Then we find someone whose experience and temperament fit that picture. We've matched caregivers to Southbury families for years and we know our people well enough to make real matches, not just assignments.
We keep backup coverage trained and ready. We notify you as soon as we know there's a gap, and we send someone we've already vetted and trained. Your parent's routine matters, so we try to send the same backup when possible. In Southbury, we have multiple caregivers familiar with the area and the local system, so continuity is usually quick.
