Alzheimer’s Care is about managing the real changes that come with memory loss and confusion. Your parent may repeat themselves, forget where they are, or struggle to follow routines they’ve done for decades. They might wander, forget to eat, or become upset by small changes. We help by keeping their day structured, making sure medications get taken, and watching for safety issues before they become emergencies.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with morning routines, meals that actually get eaten, medication reminders, activities that keep the mind engaged, and the constant reassurance that reduces anxiety. We also keep an eye on things families often miss: how much they’re sleeping, whether they’re having accidents, changes in mood or appetite, and signs that the disease is moving into a new stage. We write it all down and keep you in the loop.
After discharge from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or a doctor’s diagnosis in Litchfield County, families in Thomaston need someone who knows what’s coming and can manage it calmly. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand disease progression in a way that most home aides don’t. We’re not just helping your parent get through the day, we’re helping you survive it too.
Alzheimer’s isn’t just forgetfulness, and we don’t treat it that way. We understand the stages, the behaviors, the safety risks, and the exhaustion that hits families hardest. Because we’re nurse-founded, we can spot when things are changing and help you prepare instead of panic.
We don’t send whoever is available. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific history, personality, and needs. We match based on experience and temperament, and we keep the same person when we can. That consistency matters more in Alzheimer’s Care than almost anything else.
Alzheimer’s changes fast sometimes. You need people who pick up the phone, who understand what you’re describing, and who can adjust the plan. We’re local to Thomaston and Litchfield County, not a call center three states away.
We work with Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge planners and local doctors regularly. We understand how to bridge the gap between hospital and home, and we know what to expect in Thomaston and the surrounding towns.

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. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We help with bathing and dressing, making sure meals happen and get eaten, medication reminders, toileting and incontinence care, keeping them engaged with activities or quiet time depending on what they need, and monitoring for changes. We also keep the environment safe, reduce wandering risk, and handle the repetitive questions and confusion without frustration. We take notes on what we see and report back to you regularly so you know what's happening even when you're not there.
We can often start within a few days if the need is there, sometimes sooner. We work with the hospital's discharge team to understand what your parent needs and to make sure the transition is smooth. The faster we start, the sooner your parent settles into a new routine and the sooner you can actually breathe. We'll do an in-home visit to meet your parent and family before care begins so there are no surprises.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and some home health services, but ongoing support for memory loss and daily living assistance typically isn't covered. We can help you navigate what might be available through other programs, and we work with families at different budget levels. We're honest about costs upfront because you need to plan for this.
A home health aide provides personal care tasks if ordered by a doctor. Alzheimer's Care is different because we're trained in the specific behaviors, safety needs, and communication styles that come with memory loss. We understand sundowning, wandering, resistance to care, and the emotional toll on families. We're not just helping your parent bathe, we're managing the disease itself.
Yes, and it's one of the things we do most carefully. We listen to your parent's personality, their history, any trauma or difficult experiences, their preferences, and what's worked or failed in the past. We match our caregivers based on experience, temperament, and fit. We meet your parent before anyone starts, and we adjust if it's not working. This is too important to get wrong.
We cover the shift with someone trained in your parent's care and familiar with your home. We don't cancel. We keep a network of caregivers in Thomaston and nearby towns so there's always backup, and we communicate with you about who's coming and any changes to the routine. Consistency matters in Alzheimer's Care, but reliability matters more.
