Your sister noticed something off at Thanksgiving dinner near the Wallingford town green, the way your mom repeated the same story three times in an hour. Two weeks later, a fall she didn’t mention. Then a call from her neighbor on Main Street saying she’d found your mom confused in the driveway at 11 p.m. You realized you couldn’t keep managing this alone from a distance, and you needed someone who understood what happens when Alzheimer’s starts to take over.

Alzheimer’s Care is in-home support designed around the specific needs of someone whose memory, judgment, and daily routines are changing. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the daily presence that keeps structure in place, watches for safety risks, and gives you back your peace of mind. A trained caregiver works with you to understand where your parent is in their progression and what they need today.
On a typical day, Alzheimer’s Care includes helping with grooming and dressing, preparing meals and reminding about eating, managing the house in ways that keep your parent safe from wandering or confusion, taking walks together, sitting with them during the hard afternoon hours, and checking in on medications. It’s also about watching for small changes, noting what works and what doesn’t, and letting you know what’s happening instead of you having to call every two hours wondering.
Wallingford families often connect with us after a hospital stay at MidState Medical Center, when it’s clear that going back home alone isn’t safe. As a nurse-founded agency, we know how to read a care plan, understand what doctors have said, and translate that into real structure at home. We’ve been in your shoes. We know how fast Alzheimer’s can move and how quickly exhaustion sets in.
Our founder was a nurse who lived through her own family’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. We don’t use buzzwords because we know the panic of a 3 a.m. phone call, the relief of a caregiver who notices your parent’s medication sitting untouched, and the weight of watching someone you love slowly change. We match that understanding with real experience in safety, structure, and spotting the early signs that progression is moving.
We spend time learning about your parent, what they still enjoy, what triggers confusion or frustration, and what kind of personality your family needs in the room. We don’t just send someone on day one. We brief them carefully, listen to what you tell us, and adjust when something isn’t working. It’s the difference between a caregiver and the right caregiver.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. Your parent might be fine on Tuesday and confused on Wednesday. When that happens, you need someone who answers the phone and knows what to do. We’re here for the middle-of-the-night questions, the medication changes, the falls, and the moments when you need to know if this is normal or if it’s time to call the doctor.
We’re local to New Haven County and we understand how MidState Medical Center works, what their discharge planners recommend, and how to pick up where the hospital leaves off. We know the neighborhoods of Wallingford, the quiet streets where someone with early-stage dementia might wander, and the doctors and resources families actually use.

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

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A typical day includes help with hygiene and dressing, preparing food and reminding about meals, medication management and reminders, light housekeeping to keep the home safe and organized, accompaniment on walks or activities your parent enjoys, and supervision during the afternoon hours when confusion often peaks. We also watch for subtle changes, note what's working, and report back to you. The structure itself often reduces anxiety and wandering.
We can often start within a few days of discharge if the need is urgent. Once MidState's discharge planner reaches out to us or you call directly, we schedule a brief home visit to see your parent and the space, answer your questions, and make sure we understand what the hospital recommended. We then match a caregiver and get them trained on your parent's specific needs and habits. Rush placements are our reality, not our exception.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing after a hospital stay, but that's different from the daily in-home support that keeps someone safe, fed, and structured as memory changes. Insurance rarely covers this kind of care. We work with families on hours and frequency that fit their budget, and we can help you understand what options exist for financial assistance in Connecticut.
A home health aide comes after a doctor's order for medical reasons, and that care is often covered by insurance for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support you arrange and pay for directly because your parent needs consistent structure, supervision, and someone who understands how the disease progresses. We're built for the reality of living with Alzheimer's, not just recovery from a hospital stay.
Yes. We listen to what matters to your parent, what they're afraid of, what they still enjoy, and what past experiences with caregivers have worked or failed. We ask about your parent's temperament, whether they need someone calm and quiet or someone more interactive. Then we match a caregiver we believe will fit, brief them thoroughly, and give you both time to see if it's working. If it's not, we adjust.
We keep backup caregivers trained and available so you're never left without coverage when something unexpected happens. We give you notice as soon as we know there's a change, and we send someone we've already vetted and briefed on your parent's situation. Consistency matters with Alzheimer's, so we try hard not to disrupt routine, but we also make sure your parent stays safe and cared for.
