Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Alzheimer’s Care is support designed around memory loss and the way it changes daily life. We’re not here to diagnose or treat. We’re here to help your parent stay safe, keep a routine that makes sense, and give you a break from the weight of managing everything alone.
On any given day, that might mean helping with bathing and dressing, making sure medications are taken on time, preparing meals, keeping an eye on wandering or confusion, and just being present while you’re at work or sleeping. We notice what’s working and what’s causing stress, because those patterns matter in Alzheimer’s.
If your parent has recently been discharged from Windham Hospital or is being seen there, we work closely with their care team and understand the next steps. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to recognize changes in behavior or health that matter, and when to flag them early. That background shapes everything we do.
Our founder and team have worked in nursing long enough to recognize early changes, know what safety really looks like, and understand why structure matters so much. We don’t treat every day as routine, because Alzheimer’s isn’t routine. We adjust when your parent’s needs shift.
We spend time understanding what your parent needs, what calms them, what their day should look like. Then we match them with a caregiver who fits, not just someone available. That foundation makes everything else work better.
Alzheimer’s Care doesn’t run on a schedule you set and forget. If your parent is having a harder week, if their mood shifts, if you need extra hours, you call and we listen. We stay flexible because you need us to.
We work with Windham Hospital regularly, we understand the discharge process, and we know the neighborhoods and streets of Willimantic. That local knowledge matters when you need care fast and you need someone who already understands 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. 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 typical day includes personal care like bathing and grooming, medication reminders, meal preparation, and supervision during activities. We keep things simple and structured, which helps reduce confusion and anxiety. We also watch for safety concerns like wandering, falls, or signs that something's changed. Most importantly, we're there so you don't have to be worried the whole time you're away.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on availability and what your parent needs. We work directly with Windham Hospital's discharge planners, so we understand what was recommended and what your parent was doing in the hospital. That continuity matters. If you're facing a discharge and need care fast, call us as soon as you can.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. That's actually why many families find us, because we can be flexible about hours, schedule, and what care looks like without fighting insurance companies. We're transparent about our rates from the first conversation, so there are no surprises.
Home health aides come through medical agencies and are typically prescribed by a doctor for a limited time after hospital discharge. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support we provide based on what your parent actually needs, for as long as it makes sense. We also focus specifically on memory loss, safety around confusion, and the family's exhaustion, not just physical tasks.
Yes. We start with a conversation about who your parent is, what they like, what makes them feel safe, and what their day should include. Then we match them with someone who fits that picture. We're selective about our caregivers and we take time to get the pairing right.
We have backup caregivers trained to know your parent's routine and preferences. We don't just send a stranger. If your regular caregiver is sick or on vacation, we make sure someone they've met steps in, and we keep that transition as smooth as possible. That continuity is part of what Alzheimer's Care is about.
