Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support designed for the specific changes that come with memory loss and confusion. It’s not just helping with daily tasks, it’s understanding how the disease progresses, what safety looks like when someone wanders, and how to keep a routine steady when their mind isn’t.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medication reminders. They also watch for behavioral changes, keep your parent engaged without forcing, and give you a break from the constant mental load. We’re here when your parent repeats themselves for the hundredth time, when they don’t recognize a room in their own house, when they need supervision getting to the bathroom at 3 a.m.
Many Sterling families come to us after a hospital stay at Day Kimball Hospital, when discharge planning makes it clear that memory care at home is what’s needed. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression from the inside and build our caregiving around what your parent actually needs, not just what a checklist says.
Our founder is a nurse who’s managed Alzheimer’s progression in homes for years. We know that keeping structure, watching for wandering safety, and recognizing when your parent is scared matters more than perfect housekeeping. We see the exhaustion in your face and we build a plan that lets you breathe.
We don’t send someone random. We talk with you about your parent’s personality, their triggers, what actually calms them down. Then we brief the caregiver thoroughly and stay close during the first weeks while we all figure out what works. Experience with Alzheimer’s Care isn’t something we assume, it’s something we build together.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stay the same week to week. When your parent’s behavior shifts or a medication adjustment happens, you can reach us. We’re not a call center, we’re people who know your family and adjust the plan before a crisis forces the issue.
We know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process, we know Sterling neighborhoods, and we work with doctors and facilities you already trust. Being here in the community means we show up on time and we understand what life actually looks like for families in your area.

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, dressing, grooming, and toileting. We prepare meals and remind about medications at the right times. We keep an eye out for wandering, confusion, or mood changes, and we give you real-time updates so you know what happened during the day. We also engage your parent in conversation or activity that feels familiar and safe, and we give you a break from the constant supervision.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of you calling us, especially if Day Kimball's discharge team has already identified memory care as the need. We'll do an in-home visit to understand your parent's specific situation, brief the caregiver on medication, safety routines, and your parent's personality, then match someone experienced with Alzheimer's progression. Rush starts are possible if the hospital's social worker connects us early.
Alzheimer's Care in the home is private pay, not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We're transparent about what this costs from the first conversation. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and we can provide paperwork for insurance claims. We work with families across different budget situations.
A home health aide typically handles personal care and basic assistance. Alzheimer's Care goes deeper, focused on the behavioral, safety, and progression changes that come with memory loss. Our caregivers are trained to recognize when your parent is confused versus refusing, how to redirect without force, and how to keep them safe from wandering. They also understand medication management for cognitive conditions and know when to flag concerns to you or a doctor.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what calms them, what upsets them, and what time of day is hardest. We also ask about your needs, your schedule, and what kind of person you think will click with your parent. We then match based on experience with Alzheimer's and on personality fit. If it's not right after a week, we adjust.
We maintain a small team of backup caregivers trained and briefed on your parent's care plan, so we can cover illness or emergency without canceling care. We let you know as soon as we know, and we send someone familiar with Alzheimer's progression who has read the notes about your parent's routine. Continuity matters, so we keep the same person whenever possible.
