Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured support that slows down the confusion and keeps your parent safe as their memory changes. We’re talking about someone in your home who understands how the disease progresses, who can redirect without frustration, and who watches for the small signs that something’s off before it becomes a crisis.
On any given day, that looks like helping with meals and keeping them at the table long enough to eat, managing medications so doses aren’t missed or repeated, creating routines that make sense because predictability calms the brain, and watching for wandering, falls, or behaviors that signal pain or fear. We also take over the things that exhaust families, the repeat conversations, the searching for lost items, the nighttime vigilance.
Suffield families often reach out after a Hartford Hospital stay, when discharge planners say your parent can go home but needs supervision. We’re nurse-founded, which means we don’t guess at what’s normal progression and what’s urgent. We know the difference, and we build care plans around what your parent can still do, not just what they can’t.
A nurse who has seen Alzheimer’s unfold at bedside knows the rhythm of it, the early forgetting versus the later confusion, the behaviors that come from fear. We match that knowledge with a caregiver who can stay calm and keep your parent’s dignity intact through all of it.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, what they respond to, what soothes them. Then we find someone who fits, not just someone who’s open that week. That fit is what makes the difference between a caregiver and the right person.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do the questions that come up at 3 a.m. or the sudden changes that worry you. We’re here to talk through what’s normal, what’s concerning, and how to adjust the plan without creating more stress.
We’re in Hartford County, we know how discharge planning works at Hartford Hospital, and we can step in smoothly when your parent comes home. That continuity of care matters more than you’d think when your parent is already disoriented.

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.
Why families trust us
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
You get someone trained to work with memory loss who handles meals, medications, bathing, toileting, and dressing while keeping your parent oriented to the day and the house. They'll redirect confusion calmly, watch for safety risks like leaving the stove on or trying to drive, keep them engaged in simple activities, and handle the repetition without showing frustration. They also document changes and report back to you, so you're not guessing what happened while you were at work or running errands.
We typically start within 48 hours of your call, sometimes faster if there's an urgent need. We'll do a brief assessment, match a caregiver, and send them to your home with a plan based on what Hartford Hospital documented and what you tell us about your parent's baseline. If you're still in the hospital when you call, we can coordinate with the discharge team so there's no gap.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not typically covered by Medicare or standard insurance plans unless you have a specific policy that includes it. We work with many families who use long-term care insurance, personal savings, or a combination of approaches. We can talk through options and help you understand what this investment covers, but we're transparent that this is out-of-pocket care.
A home health aide is medically necessary care ordered by a doctor and covered by insurance, usually for a set number of hours after injury or illness. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for someone with memory loss, not medical recovery, so it's different in scope and purpose. We focus on the behavioral and cognitive changes of the disease, not wound care or physical therapy, and we can flex hours and adjust the approach as things progress.
Yes, that's how we start. We ask about your parent's personality before the disease, what calms them, whether they're morning or evening people, if they like music or gardening or sitting outside. We find someone whose temperament and experience fit that person, not just someone available in your zip code. Good matching takes a few days sometimes, but it saves months of friction.
We have backup coverage for scheduled days and emergencies. If your regular caregiver is sick, we send someone trained in Alzheimer's Care who's been briefed on your parent's routine and needs. For longer absences, we work with you to find continuity, because your parent thrives on knowing who's coming. We won't leave you stranded, and we communicate that shift clearly so you're not surprised.
