Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is showing up every day with one thing in mind: slowing the confusion, keeping your parent safe, and giving you time to breathe. It’s not medical nursing. It’s someone in your home who understands how this disease changes your parent’s behavior and routine, and who stays steady when things feel unpredictable.
On any given day, Alzheimer’s Care means structure: the same meals at the same times, the same walks around the neighborhood, reminders about where the bathroom is or what happened an hour ago. It means watching for wandering, especially as evening comes. It means noticing if your parent is in pain but can’t tell you, or if they’ve stopped eating, or if they’re having more bad days than good. It means you can go to work, sleep through the night, or just sit on the porch without your phone in your hand.
Families in Voluntown often come to us after a hospitalization or a crisis at home, sometimes after William W. Backus Hospital discharge when you realize you can’t manage alone anymore. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know what to look for, we know how to talk to doctors, and we understand that every day with Alzheimer’s is different. That experience is baked into how we hire, train, and match caregivers to families like yours.
Our founder and team come from nursing, so we understand what you’re really asking when you call: how do we keep this from getting worse faster, and how do we protect them from themselves? We’ve seen how structure slows confusion, how routine brings calm, and how exhaustion breaks families apart. We build that knowledge into every match we make.
We don’t just send someone and hope. We listen to what your parent needs, what scares you most, and whether they’ll trust a stranger in their home. Then we match carefully, brief the caregiver completely, and stay in touch about what’s working and what isn’t. One wrong personality fit can make Alzheimer’s Care feel like one more thing to manage.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. When your parent has a bad day, when they’re refusing care, when something feels different, you can reach us. We adjust, we listen, we don’t disappear when the situation gets harder.
We’re local to Voluntown and the surrounding towns, Sterling, Griswold, North Stonington, Plainfield. We know how discharges work at William W. Backus Hospital, we know the neighborhood, and we know families in your situation. That familiarity matters when you’re already stressed.

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
On a typical day, our caregiver arrives at a set time and helps with morning routine, medication reminders, breakfast. They might take your parent for a walk around Voluntown, help with lunch, manage toileting and personal care, keep an eye out for wandering, prepare dinner, and create a calm evening routine that helps them sleep better. We document everything and report back to you. It's structure and presence, every single day.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of your call, especially if you're in Voluntown or nearby. We know the hospital's discharge process and can coordinate directly with their social workers if needed. If it's urgent, we move fast. We'll ask about medications, behavior changes, and what happened, then match someone experienced and brief them thoroughly before they walk through your door.
Alzheimer's Care through us is private pay, which means you're paying directly for personalized, long-term support tailored to your parent's needs. Medicare typically covers medical nursing care, not the daily care and structure that Alzheimer's families need most. We can give you pricing, help you think through what hours make sense, and discuss how to fit it into your budget.
A home health aide, often through a medical agency, is there because a doctor ordered it after an injury or hospitalization, and insurance pays for specific tasks. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, personalized support focused on managing a disease that changes constantly. We're not there because your parent had a fall, we're there because they have Alzheimer's and need someone who knows how to keep them safe and calm every single day, for months or years.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they like, whether they do better with men or women, what topics help them feel calm, and what behaviors worry you most. We then match from caregivers who've had Alzheimer's experience and fit the profile. It's not random, and if the match doesn't click after a week or two, we adjust.
We keep a roster of backup caregivers who know your parent's needs and can step in the same day if possible. We don't leave you hanging or scrambling on short notice. If your regular person is sick or has an emergency, we communicate early and get coverage in place. It's one less thing to manage during an already hard situation.
