Your sister noticed something at Thanksgiving dinner near the Vernon Public Library area, something in your mother’s eyes that didn’t quite match her words. The next morning you found the stove left on. By the time your father called Rockville General Hospital about a fall, you knew you needed help that understood not just the medical side, but the exhaustion of watching someone change.

Alzheimer’s Care is support built around the reality of memory loss and behavior changes. We’re here to help your parent stay safe at home while you stay sane. This isn’t just medication reminders or meal prep, though those are part of it. It’s about understanding that your parent may ask the same question four times in an hour, that they might wander, that routines matter more than they ever have.
Day-to-day, our caregivers help with morning routines, medication management, monitoring for safety risks like wandering or leaving appliances on, keeping structured activities going, meal preparation, and companionship. They watch for signs of infection, confusion spikes, or falls you might miss. They also give you, the family, actual breaks. Time to sleep through the night. Time to not be the only one watching.
Many Vernon families come to us after a hospital stay at Rockville General Hospital or after a doctor appointment made clear that memory loss is progressing. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand the medical side of Alzheimer’s, not just the emotional one. We know what to watch for, when to call the doctor, and how to keep your parent’s dignity intact as the disease moves forward.
Our founder is a nurse who’s watched Alzheimer’s unfold in families. We know the difference between early confusion and mid-stage wandering. We know that structure keeps people calmer and safer, and we build that into every day. We also know how hard it is to watch someone you love change, and we don’t pretend that won’t happen.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to your family’s needs, your parent’s personality, and what’s worked before. Then we match a caregiver who has actual Alzheimer’s experience, not just general home care background. We brief them fully on your parent’s routine, fears, and triggers.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent has a bad day, a fall, or sudden confusion, you need someone to call who knows them and can help right away. We’re local to Vernon and Tolland County. We answer our phones.
We work with Rockville General Hospital discharge planners and understand the transition home. We know Vernon’s streets, neighborhoods, and who your doctors are. We’re not a call center in another state. We’re here.

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
It depends on your parent's stage and needs, but typically includes helping with bathing, dressing, and toileting, making sure medications are taken on time, preparing meals and reminding them to eat, keeping them engaged in simple activities or walks, watching for safety risks like wandering or leaving the stove on, and staying alert for signs of pain, infection, or falls. Our caregiver also documents what happened so you're never left guessing what your parent did all day.
Often within 24 to 48 hours, depending on when you call and what your schedule needs. We work with the hospital's discharge team to understand your parent's medical situation and what they sent home with. If your parent is coming home on new medications or after a fall, we prioritize getting a caregiver in place fast. We'll do an intake call the day you reach out so we can start matching someone right away.
Most Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you pay us directly. Medicare covers skilled nursing or physical therapy, not the day-to-day care that keeps someone safe and clean. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, or they work with us on a budget that fits. We're honest about costs from the start so there are no surprises.
A home health aide typically comes for a few hours a week on a doctor's order and focuses on basic personal care. Alzheimer's Care is usually more hours, more days, and built around the specific demands of memory loss, safety monitoring, and keeping routines going. We're trained to recognize behavior changes, redirect safely, and understand that someone with Alzheimer's needs consistency and patience in a way that goes beyond standard aide duties.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they like to do, how they respond to change, and what's worked with other caregivers. We also listen to your family's needs, whether that's someone with experience managing wandering, medication precision, or just someone calm and patient. We don't do one-size-fits-all. We match carefully and we're willing to switch if the fit isn't right.
We have backup caregivers in Vernon and the surrounding area so your parent isn't left without support. We brief backups on your parent's routine and needs before they step in. We also call you so you know who's coming. If your regular caregiver is out for a while, we work to get them back as soon as your parent can handle the switch, because consistency matters with Alzheimer's.
