Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is specialized in-home support for people in the middle and later stages of memory loss. We’re here because the disease changes what your parent needs every few months, and standard home help isn’t built for that kind of progression. Our caregivers understand wandering, repetition, medication timing, and the specific safety concerns that keep you awake at night.
On a typical day, we’re managing structure: breakfast at the same time, a walk if it’s safe, medication reminders, keeping an eye on nutrition and hydration, and watching for signs of distress or confusion that need attention. We’re also the person in the room so your parent isn’t alone, which means you can go to work or finally sleep without the weight of constant worry.
If your parent was recently discharged from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital after a fall, infection, or behavioral crisis, we step in during that critical window when they’re most vulnerable. We’re nurse-founded, which means we’ve lived the medical side of Alzheimer’s, not just the caregiving side. We know what normal looks like and what needs a doctor’s call.
Alzheimer’s isn’t static, and we don’t treat it like it is. Our caregivers recognize how the disease shifts week to week, and we adjust the plan before you have to figure it out yourself. Being nurse-founded means we’re watching for the medical signs, not just the behavioral ones.
We don’t send whoever is free. We brief our caregivers deeply on your parent’s history, what works, what triggers anxiety, and what structure looks like in your home. The right person in the room changes everything.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow business hours. When something changes, you reach us, and we listen. We’re here to adjust the plan, troubleshoot safety concerns, or help you figure out the next step.
We know Waterford, the neighborhoods around it, and the discharge process at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. We’re not learning your area on the job. We’re part of your community.

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
A caregiver arrives and helps with bathing, dressing, breakfast, and medications. We're watching for wandering behavior, keeping medication on schedule, and making sure your parent eats and drinks enough. We engage in activities that feel familiar, monitor mood and comfort, and stay alert for signs of pain or confusion that need medical attention. At the end of the day, we report back to you on what went well and what shifted.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a hospital discharge, especially if we're already connected before the discharge happens. If you're coordinating care through Lawrence + Memorial's discharge team, let us know early so we can brief our caregiver on any post-hospital needs. The sooner we're in place, the safer the transition home.
We operate on private pay, meaning you pay directly rather than billing insurance. That's actually an advantage because there's no paperwork delay or denial waiting period. We can start fast and stay flexible as needs change. We're happy to discuss rates and schedules that fit your family's reality.
A home health aide usually comes after a medical event or injury and focuses on basic assistance. Alzheimer's Care is specialized for memory loss progression, safety monitoring, and structure. Our caregivers are trained to recognize behavioral changes, manage wandering safely, understand medication importance, and respond calmly to repetition and confusion. We're not just helping with tasks; we're managing the disease itself.
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We learn your parent's personality, what they loved before memory loss, what triggers distress, and what routine looks like in your home. We then match a caregiver who fits that profile and can provide stability. When the right person is in the room, your parent feels safer, and you feel more at ease.
We have backup caregivers who are briefed on your parent's specific needs, so there's continuity even when someone is sick. We don't leave you scrambling. If a regular caregiver needs to miss a shift, we let you know as soon as possible and have a replacement plan in place. Consistency matters with Alzheimer's, and we protect that as much as we can.
