You got a call from your sister after Thanksgiving dinner at the Mayflower Inn.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is structured support that meets your parent where they are in the disease. We’re not here to cure anything. We’re here to keep your parent safe, help them remember their routine, and give you a break from the weight of it.
On any given day, this looks like a caregiver who helps with meals, reminds your parent to take medication at the right time, watches for wandering, and keeps things calm and predictable. We track what works. We notice if something changes. We don’t rush through the morning or turn on the TV and leave.
After a discharge from New Milford Hospital or a diagnosis from your doctor, you’re often left figuring it out alone. We’re a nurse-founded agency, which means we know what Alzheimer’s progression actually looks like, and we’ve built our matching and training around that reality, not around what sounds good in a brochure.
Our founder trained as a nurse and saw families break under the weight of Alzheimer’s care. We know what it means when you can’t leave your parent alone, when you’re checking the stove three times, when you haven’t slept through the night in months. We’re here to change that.
When we place a caregiver for Alzheimer’s Care, we don’t just check references. We listen to what your parent needs, what triggers them, what calms them down. Then we train your caregiver on those specifics. The caregiver you get is the one we believe will work.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t move on a predictable schedule. If your caregiver calls us because your parent is more confused than usual, or if you need to adjust hours on short notice, we answer. You don’t reach a voicemail.
We’re local to Washington and the surrounding towns. We understand the New Milford Hospital discharge process, we know your doctors, and we move fast when a family needs help right away. We’re not a call center an hour away.

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.

Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver arrives at a time that works for you and helps with morning routine, breakfast, medication reminders, and keeping your parent engaged or rested, depending on what they need that day. We watch for safety issues like wandering or leaving the stove on. We help with personal care if needed. We keep notes on what happened so you know how your parent's day went. It's not fancy. It's steady.
If you call us right after discharge, we can usually have someone in your home within a few days. We work with New Milford Hospital's discharge planners to understand what your parent needs. We'll ask you questions about your parent's routine, preferences, and any behaviors we should know about. Then we match a caregiver and brief them before they start.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of support unless there's a skilled nursing component tied to a recent hospital stay. We can tell you what the cost is upfront. Many families find they can do this part-time, even a few days a week, and it makes an enormous difference.
A home health aide usually comes after a hospital discharge or doctor's order and focuses on physical care like bathing and dressing. Alzheimer's Care is about structure, routine, safety, and watching for changes in thinking and behavior. Our caregivers are trained in how Alzheimer's changes someone, not just how to help them wash up. The difference matters.
Yes. We'll talk with you about what your parent is like, what they respond to, what makes them anxious or calm, and what their day looks like. We listen for details like whether they're a morning person or whether they need quiet time. Then we find someone in our Washington network who fits. This isn't random assignment.
We have backup caregivers we've already trained on Alzheimer's Care. We don't send someone unfamiliar unless we have to. Your parent will see familiar faces, and your routine stays intact. If a caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we call you as soon as we know and let you know who's coming instead.
