Alzheimer’s Care is support designed specifically for people living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. It’s not medical nursing. It’s someone trained to show up, understand how the disease progresses, and help your parent stay safe, structured, and at home as long as possible.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with breakfast and medication reminders, keep your parent engaged in familiar routines, watch for wandering and safety risks, redirect gently when confusion sets in, and give you a break from the constant mental load. We’re also watching for changes, infections, falls, or signs that the disease is moving forward faster than expected.
Families in Wethersfield often reach out to us right after a hospital stay, sometimes after Hartford Hospital discharge when it’s clear that memory care at home makes more sense than a facility. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression from the inside. We know what early, middle, and late stages actually look like, and we match caregivers who’ve lived through this with families who need someone who gets it.
Our founder is a nurse who specialized in dementia care. That background means we’re not guessing about what Alzheimer’s looks like at each stage. We help you understand what’s coming, how to keep structure as memory changes, and when to adjust the plan.
A good Alzheimer’s caregiver isn’t just trained. They need patience with repetition, a calm voice, and real experience. We take time to learn what your parent responds to, then match someone who fits that picture.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow a schedule. A caregiver can call you at 2 AM, we can adjust hours or coverage, and we understand that what works in January might need to change by June. You’re not navigating those decisions alone.
We’re local to Wethersfield and the surrounding towns. We know Hartford Hospital’s discharge process, we have relationships with local doctors, and we understand the specific challenges of home care in Hartford County neighborhoods.

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
A caregiver arrives at a time that works for your family. They help with breakfast, medications, and personal care. They keep your parent occupied with activities they enjoy or used to enjoy. They watch for safety issues like wandering or leaving the stove on. They also watch for signs of infection, pain, or other changes that matter. At the end of each shift, there's a note about how the day went and anything you should know.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours. If Hartford Hospital discharge planners know you're looking for home care, we can coordinate directly with them. We ask for your parent's current medications, any recent test results, and what their baseline looks like so we're never walking in blind. The faster we get set up, the safer the transition home feels.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or physical therapy after a hospital stay, but they don't cover the daily support that Alzheimer's families actually need. We work with families to find a schedule and cost that fits. Many families start with a few days a week and adjust from there.
A home health aide is sent by a medical agency after a hospital discharge to help with basic tasks like bathing and dressing. Alzheimer's Care is different. It's ongoing support from someone trained in dementia specifically. They understand how to redirect, how to keep structure, and how to spot when something medical is actually changing. It's support designed for the disease, not just general caregiving.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they respond to, their daily habits, and what worries you most. Then we match someone who has experience with those specific challenges. If the first match isn't right, we adjust. We're not handing you a name and hoping for the best.
We have backup coverage built in. We don't leave families scrambling. If your regular caregiver is sick or needs a day off, we send someone trained and familiar with your parent's routine. We give you notice whenever possible, and we make sure the backup caregiver has read the notes and knows what matters.
