Alzheimer’s Care is specialized in-home support for someone in the middle or later stages of the disease. It’s not just keeping someone safe. It’s keeping their day structured, their medications on time, their wandering managed, and you from running on empty.
On a typical day, your caregiver is handling toileting and bathing, meal prep and reminders to eat, medication management, activities that keep your parent’s mind engaged, and watching for the small changes that signal something is off. They’re also the person your parent sees every day, which matters more than you’d think when memory is slipping.
If your parent was just discharged from Johnson Memorial Hospital or seen by their doctor in Union, Alzheimer’s Care picks up where that appointment ends. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what progression looks like, what safety actually requires, and why your family needs someone who won’t panic when things shift.
Our founder is a nurse who spent years in Alzheimer’s care. That means we don’t treat every day the same. We watch for the signs of advancing disease, adjust the routine, and keep your parent safe without overreacting. You get someone who recognizes the difference between a bad day and a real shift.
We don’t just send someone. We listen to what your parent actually needs, what your family’s breaking point is, and what structure works in your home. Then we find the right person and train them on your parent’s specific routine. That takes time, but it’s worth it.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If something shifts, you can reach us. If your regular caregiver gets sick, we have backup. If you need to adjust hours or add a shift, we move fast. You’re not managing a system, you’re working with people who know your situation.
We know Union. We know Johnson Memorial Hospital’s discharge process and what happens when your parent comes home. We know Stafford, Woodstock, and the towns around you. Being local means we’re fast, we understand your community, and we’re here when you need us.

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
Your caregiver handles personal care like bathing and toileting, meal prep and eating reminders, medication management with a log so you know it was taken, light housekeeping focused on safety, activities or quiet time that keeps your parent engaged, and watching for changes. They're also present while your parent is awake, which means you get relief and your parent gets continuity. The goal is structure, safety, and keeping your family from drowning.
We can often start within a few days if you reach out before discharge. If your parent is already home, we move fast. We'll do a brief call to understand the situation, match a caregiver who fits, and get them trained on your parent's routine and any medical instructions from the hospital. Most families see their caregiver in the home within a week.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of specialized support because it's not medical nursing care, it's daily living assistance and supervision. We work with families to find a rate that works. Many families use savings, Long-Term Care insurance if they have it, or a combination of resources. We can talk through options when you call.
A home health aide usually comes a few hours a week on a doctor's order and focuses on specific tasks. Alzheimer's Care is longer hours, sometimes full-time, and focused on keeping your parent safe and your family functioning while the disease progresses. Our caregivers are trained on behavior, wandering, medication confusion, and the emotional side of this disease. Home health is task-based. Alzheimer's Care is about management and continuity.
Yes. We listen to what your parent is like, what works for them, what your family's routine looks like, and what matters most right now. Then we find someone experienced in Alzheimer's Care who fits that picture and train them on your parent's specific needs, medications, and routine. Matching takes a bit longer than just sending someone, but it's why families stay with us.
We have backup. If your caregiver is sick or can't make a shift, we call in someone we've already trained or briefed, or we step in ourselves. Your parent shouldn't lose continuity because of one absence. If it's a longer absence, we'll match someone new and train them on the routine so the transition is as smooth as possible.
