You noticed something off when your sister visited from out of state, asking why your parent was wearing the same clothes from the day before. A month ago, she was sharp, independent, driving to the library near the Sprague Plaza. Now she’s asking the same question three times in an hour, and you’re exhausted from trying to manage it alone. That’s when you realized you needed someone who actually understands what Alzheimer’s does, not just someone to sit in the house.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is hourly, in-home support built around how the disease actually progresses. We’re with your parent during the hours when they need structure most, when memory gaps create anxiety, or when safety becomes uncertain. Our caregivers know the stages, they recognize what’s happening, and they move with calm instead of confusion.
On a typical day, that looks like helping with hygiene and meals, keeping a routine that anchors their thinking, watching for wandering or falls, managing medications, and giving you a break from the weight of it. It’s also noticing small changes, documenting what’s working, and flagging concerns before they become crises. Your parent gets consistency. You get relief.
Families in Sprague often call us after a hospital stay or diagnosis appointment at William W. Backus Hospital, looking for continuity at home. Because we’re nurse-founded, our team understands both the medical side of dementia and the daily reality of keeping someone safe and engaged. We don’t treat caregiving as tasks. We treat it as understanding a person who is changing.
Our founder is a nurse. We’ve seen how the disease unfolds and what families face at each stage. We know the difference between normal aging and what needs medical attention, and we build a care plan that matches where your parent is right now, not where you think they should be.
You don’t get assigned a caregiver. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, and needs, then match someone who fits. Once they’re in your home, we’re staying involved, checking in, adjusting as Alzheimer’s shifts what your parent needs.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow office hours. When you need to adjust care, add hours, or troubleshoot something, we’re reachable. You’re not starting over with a new agency every time something shifts.
We work with William W. Backus Hospital and know their discharge process. We’re familiar with Sprague streets, neighborhoods, and how to get your parent connected to local resources. We’re not learning your town. We’re already in it.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Alzheimer’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver arrives at a set time and handles hygiene, dressing, meals, medications, and keeping your parent engaged or resting as the day requires. They watch for safety issues, keep notes on how your parent is doing, and follow a routine you've set together. They're also there so you can step away, run errands, sleep, or just breathe. The hours are yours to define based on what your parent and your family need.
We typically start within 48 to 72 hours of a hospital discharge in Sprague, depending on scheduling and what your parent's discharge summary tells us they'll need. We'll get a copy of that paperwork, review it with you, and match a caregiver who understands what just happened. If your parent is unstable or needs more complex medical oversight, we'll coordinate with their doctor before care starts.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and home health therapy if your parent qualifies, but ongoing in-home caregiving support for dementia progression and daily safety is not a covered benefit. We can help you understand what your insurance might cover and what you'll manage out of pocket, and we'll work with your budget.
A home health aide comes under a medical order, usually short-term after hospitalization, and focuses on personal care tasks. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support we tailor to your parent's cognitive needs and the specific challenges dementia creates. We're watching for wandering, managing confusion, building routines that reduce anxiety, and helping your parent maintain as much independence and dignity as possible while staying safe. Home health is task-based. Alzheimer's Care is behavior and progression-based.
Yes. We start by learning who your parent is, what makes them calm or agitated, what they love to do, and what worries them now. Then we listen to what you need as the family. We match a caregiver who has experience with that stage of Alzheimer's and personality style, and we introduce them slowly. It's not a random assignment. It's a choice we make together.
We don't leave you hanging. If your scheduled caregiver is sick or unable to come, we call you as soon as we know and either send a backup caregiver we've already introduced or quickly arrange a solution with you. We know how important continuity is when your parent has Alzheimer's, so we work hard to keep the same person whenever possible, but we always have a plan if something changes.
