Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support for people with memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior. It’s not medical nursing. It’s a trained person in your home who understands how the disease progresses, who can keep routines steady, and who watches for safety risks like wandering or forgetting medications. The goal is to slow decline where we can and keep your family from burning out.
On a typical day, a caregiver helps with meals, medications, bathing, and dressing. They watch for signs that something’s changed. They keep your parent engaged and oriented. They give you a break and honest updates about what they’re seeing. As Alzheimer’s advances, the caregiver adjusts. Structure matters. Safety matters. So does having someone who isn’t exhausted.
Many Tolland families come to us after a hospital stay at Rockville General Hospital, when discharge planners say your parent isn’t ready to be alone. That’s when you need someone who knows Alzheimer’s, not just general home care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medical changes, recognize early warning signs, and talk to your doctors in their language. That foundation changes everything.
Our founder is a nurse who’s cared for Alzheimer’s patients for years. We don’t just show up. We know what early stage looks like, what middle stage demands, and how to keep your parent safe as things change. We anticipate, we adjust, and we’re honest when the disease is moving faster.
We talk to you first about your parent’s personality, what they fear, what still brings them comfort. Then we match a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. We brief that caregiver thoroughly. The first week matters. We check in constantly while they’re learning your parent’s rhythms.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. A caregiver might call because your parent is more confused today, or because they won’t eat, or because you need to talk through a hard decision. You reach us directly. We problem-solve. We don’t disappear after the first month.
We know the discharge process at Rockville General Hospital. We know Tolland neighborhoods, traffic patterns, and what local pharmacies or doctors understand about Alzheimer’s. We’re not a national service with a 1-800 number. We’re here, and we’re connected to your community.

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 caregiver helps with personal care like bathing, dressing, and grooming. They prepare meals and remind your parent to eat. They manage medications and watch for confusion or behavioral changes. They keep routines steady because structure slows decline. They give you realistic updates about what they're seeing. They also give you time to rest, to work, to step away without guilt.
We can often start within 48 hours if you call us before or right after discharge. We meet with you and your parent, review medical notes and hospital summaries, and match a caregiver who can start immediately. The faster we begin, the safer the transition home, and the better we understand what the hospital observed.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or rehabilitation after a hospital stay, but memory care and behavioral support aren't covered. We work with many families who use long-term care insurance, spend down assets, or combine our care with other resources. We're transparent about cost upfront, and we can discuss options that fit your budget.
A home health aide is trained in basic personal care and follows a medical plan set by a doctor or nurse. Alzheimer's Care is specialized. Our caregivers understand dementia behavior, know how to redirect confusion, recognize when decline is accelerating, and adjust routines as the disease progresses. We're not replacing medical care. We're providing something deeper because Alzheimer's is different.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, their fears, what calms them, what triggers agitation. We listen to you about what matters most. Then we match a caregiver who fits, brief them thoroughly about your parent's history and habits, and stay involved while they bond. A good match changes everything.
We have backup caregivers trained and familiar with your parent. We notify you immediately if there's an absence, confirm a substitute is in place, and make sure that backup is briefed on your parent's specific needs. We don't leave you stranded. We don't send someone unfamiliar without proper handoff. Consistency matters in Alzheimer's Care.
