Alzheimer’s Care is structured support for the specific things that happen as the disease progresses. We’re talking about helping your parent stay safe during wandering, maintaining routines that keep them calmer, managing medications on schedule, and stepping in during the behaviors and confusion that come with each stage. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s informed by someone who knows what Alzheimer’s actually looks like.
On any given day, our caregivers handle the moments that exhaust you most: the repetitive questions, the resistance to bathing or eating, the 2 a.m. wake-ups, the need for constant supervision if they’re prone to wandering. We keep structure because structure slows the disease’s grip on their day. We document what we see so you’re not guessing at what happened while we were there. We give you back the ability to work, to sleep, to think.
When your parent comes home from Johnson Memorial Hospital after a fall or an episode, the first seventy-two hours matter most. We work with the discharge planners there because we’re local to Tolland County and we know the process. Our founder is a nurse who spent years seeing families like yours scramble to fill the gap between hospital and home, and that’s why Alzheimer’s Care exists the way it does.
Our founder spent years in nursing before building this service, which means we’re not guessing about what stages look like or what safety really means when someone with Alzheimer’s is in your home. We know the wandering phase, the sundowning, the aggression, the refusal to eat. We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific patterns so they’re ready, not reactive.
We don’t send the first available person. We listen to what your parent responds to, what calms them, what routines matter. Then we match someone with the experience to handle it, and we stay involved to make sure it’s working. If it’s not, we fix it.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t follow your schedule. If your parent is having a harder week, if a new behavior shows up, or if you need to adjust hours, you call and we listen. We’re not a call center that transfers you to someone who doesn’t know your parent’s story.
We know the discharge process at Johnson Memorial because we work with it constantly. We know Willington, Tolland, Stafford, Ashford, and Mansfield. We’re not learning your town on your time.

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
We're there for the structure and supervision that keeps your parent safe and you sane. That means helping with bathing, meals, medications taken on time, managing wandering if that's happening, keeping them engaged in routine activities, and documenting what we see so you know what happened. We're not providing medical nursing or personal care tasks that require a license, but we're providing the presence and consistency that makes the biggest difference in Alzheimer's. We also give you time to work, sleep, or just breathe.
We can start within forty-eight hours of a phone call if that's what you need. We work with Johnson Memorial's discharge team, so we can get the information we need fast. If your parent is coming home and you're panicking about those first nights, we move. We also understand that sometimes you need to trial a few days before committing to longer hours, and we're comfortable with that.
No, Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and therapy after a hospital stay, but what most families actually need, the daily presence and structure, isn't covered. We work with families on what they can afford, and we're direct about cost upfront so there are no surprises. Some families use a combination of insurance-covered skilled care plus our Alzheimer's Care for the gaps.
A home health aide is typically ordered by a doctor after a hospitalization and is focused on specific medical needs like wound care or post-surgery support. Alzheimer's Care is about managing the disease itself, the behavior, the confusion, the safety risks, and the structure that slows decline. A home health aide might come three times a week; Alzheimer's Care is the ongoing, disease-informed presence you need. We can work alongside home health if you have both.
Yes, that's the whole point. We ask about your parent's temperament, what calms them, what makes them anxious, whether they respond better to men or women, what routines matter most. Then we find someone with the experience and personality to handle it. Alzheimer's Care only works if the match is real, so we take this seriously and we adjust if it's not working.
We find a backup from our network who we've already briefed on Alzheimer's Care and your parent's needs. We don't leave you hanging. We also give you a heads-up whenever possible so you're not surprised, and we make sure the backup knows your parent's specific patterns before they walk in. Continuity matters with Alzheimer's, which is why we keep a network ready.
