Your sister noticed something at Thanksgiving dinner at your parents’ place on Elm Street, the way your mom repeated the same story three times in an hour.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is ongoing support for someone whose memory and thinking are changing. We’re here during the day, sometimes overnight, to help with the routines that feel harder now, to watch for safety concerns like wandering, to keep structure in place when the world starts feeling unpredictable. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s informed by someone who’s seen what works and what doesn’t.
On any given day, that might mean helping with breakfast and getting dressed, staying present during the afternoon hours when confusion often peaks, keeping track of medications, making sure doors are secure, redirecting gently when your parent is searching for something from 40 years ago. We’re also there to give you a break, because we know the exhaustion of being the only one who can calm things down.
After a hospital stay at Middlesex Hospital or a doctor’s appointment that brought Alzheimer’s into focus, families in Westbrook often call us within days. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand progression, not just today but how things shift week to week, and we build a care plan that moves with your parent, not against them.
Our founder and caregivers know what Alzheimer’s actually looks like at 3 a.m., when structure breaks down and safety matters most. We don’t use buzzwords about this stage of life, we use routines, patience, and the kind of calm that comes from real experience watching how memory changes.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to who your parent is, what makes them feel safe, whether they need someone quietly present or someone who can engage them in old hobbies. We brief our caregivers thoroughly, and we keep them matched to your family long term.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. When your parent’s needs change or a concern surfaces, you reach us and we respond, adjusting care or finding backup within hours, not days. You’re not managing this alone.
We know the Westbrook area, the neighborhoods from Old Saybrook to Clinton where our families live, and we understand the Middlesex Hospital discharge process. When you’re heading home after a hospital stay, we can be ready within days.

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. 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
It depends on your parent and the stage they're in, but typically we're there to help with personal care, meals, medication reminders, and keeping the house safe and structured. If your parent likes to walk, we walk with them and keep track of where they are. If afternoons are hard, we're there with activities or company. We also do laundry, light tidying, and we watch for changes you need to know about, like a new behavior or a fall.
We can often start within 2 to 3 days if you call us soon after discharge. We'll get the hospital paperwork, talk to your parent's doctor, and match a caregiver who understands post-hospital routines. If discharge planning happens while your parent is still there, we can coordinate directly with the Middlesex Hospital team.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, meaning you and your family cover the cost directly. It's not a medical service, so Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it. We're transparent about our rates upfront, and we work with families on schedules and hours that fit their budget.
A home health aide typically comes after a hospital stay for skilled nursing orders and is covered by insurance for a limited time. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support specifically designed for cognitive decline, with caregivers trained to understand wandering, repetition, sundowning, and the emotional side of memory loss. We can stay as long as you need us.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they loved before Alzheimer's, what makes them anxious, and what your family needs most. We then match a caregiver with experience in those areas and introduce them gradually. If the fit isn't right, we adjust quickly.
We have a backup caregiver who knows your parent and your routines, so coverage doesn't disappear. We communicate this coverage plan with you from the start. In a real emergency, we find someone qualified within hours, though our goal is for your parent to see familiar faces as much as possible.
