Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for someone living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. It’s not just help with daily tasks. It’s someone trained to recognize how the disease progresses, to keep routines steady when confusion is building, and to watch for safety risks like wandering or medication mix-ups that family members miss because they’re running on empty.
Day to day, this looks like: helping with bathing and dressing, managing medications on time, preparing meals and staying present during them, taking walks that feel purposeful instead of aimless, and keeping the house running in ways that don’t add to your stress. It also means noticing when something shifts in their mood or memory, and letting you know before it becomes a crisis.
Many Stamford families come to us after a hospital stay at Stamford Hospital, looking for someone who understands both the medical side and the emotional weight of what comes next. We’re nurse-founded, which means we hire caregivers who get why routine matters so much in Alzheimer’s care, and why a fall or a missed dose isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a sign that things need adjusting.
Our caregivers recognize the difference between normal aging and dementia changes. We know what early wandering looks like, how to keep someone engaged when they’re frustrated, and when medication management needs to shift. That knowledge comes from being in homes, not from a textbook.
We don’t just send someone. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s preferences, their triggers, what time of day is hardest for them. We listen to what exhausts you most as a family, and we build the care plan around relieving that weight first.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s behavior shifts or a medication question comes up at 3 p.m. on a Friday, you need to reach us. We answer, and we adjust the plan without making you feel like you’re bothering us.
We’re local. We know the hospitals, the pharmacies, the neighborhoods from Glenbrook to North Stamford. We’ve worked with Stamford Hospital discharge teams and we understand the paperwork and timing that comes right after.

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 typical day might include helping your parent get dressed, preparing and sitting with them during breakfast, giving medications at the right times, taking a walk or doing a familiar activity, preparing lunch, managing any afternoon confusion or restlessness, and preparing dinner together. Our caregiver also watches the house, notes any changes in mood or ability, and keeps things on a routine that your parent recognizes. We're there to reduce the cognitive load on your parent and on you.
We typically can start within 24 to 48 hours if the need is urgent. We work with discharge planners at Stamford Hospital and understand the timeline. Call us as soon as you know you'll need support, and we'll get your parent's information, confirm what the care plan looks like, and match a caregiver. If hospital discharge is coming, tell us early so we're not scrambling.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover custodial care or companion care, which is what Alzheimer's home care mainly is. We can give you a clear rate and explain what's included so there are no surprises. Some families use long-term care insurance or tap into savings. We're honest about costs because we know families are already stressed.
Home health aides typically come after a medical event and are ordered by a doctor for a limited time, often covered by insurance. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for someone with dementia and is private pay. Our caregivers are trained specifically in dementia progression, behavioral changes, and safety around wandering and confusion. We're here for the long term, not just the recovery phase.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their triggers, what activities they respond to, any specific care needs, and what you and your family need most. We then match someone with experience in similar situations. We know Stamford and its neighborhoods, so we can also consider travel time and fit with your family's rhythm.
We always have a backup plan. We work to keep the same person with your parent because consistency matters in Alzheimer's care, but if someone is sick or there's a conflict, we call you early and send a trained substitute we've already briefed on your parent's needs. We don't leave you stranded, and we don't surprise your parent with a stranger without preparation.
