Alzheimer’s Care means having someone in your home who understands memory loss, not just as a condition, but as a lived reality. It’s structured support during the day or night, keeping your parent safe, on schedule, and engaged while you’re not running on empty. We watch for the changes that matter, we notice when things shift, and we adjust without making it feel like a bigger problem than it is.
On any given day, this means medication reminders, help with meals and hygiene, keeping your parent moving and oriented to what time it is, and stepping in when wandering becomes a safety concern. It means noticing if they’re agitated, confused, or having a rough morning, and knowing how to slow things down. It means you get a real update, not just a timesheet.
If your parent has just come home from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or is being seen by a neurologist in Torrington, we work alongside that care. We’re nurse-founded here, which means our team comes from a place of understanding medical complexity and family exhaustion. That background shapes everything we do.
Our team has been through this with their own families. We know what early memory loss looks like, when structure becomes necessary, and how to keep someone safe as wandering or agitation becomes real. We’re not trained to manage it clinically from a distance. We live with the reality of it.
We don’t send the first available person. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific needs, their personality, what time of day is hardest, and what routines actually work. A good match in Alzheimer’s Care means your parent accepts help and your family can breathe.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t stay the same. When your parent becomes more confused, or a caregiver needs guidance on a specific situation, you reach us directly. We’re not a call center. We adjust because we have to.
We know the Winchester area, the hospitals, the doctors, and the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford. When your parent comes home needing support, we’re already integrated into that local care network.

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 handle medication reminders, meals and nutrition, bathing and dressing, and keeping your parent oriented to time and place. We watch for wandering and keep your home environment safe. If your parent is having a difficult morning or is agitated, we know how to slow things down and redirect. You get a call or update on anything you should know about, not just task completion.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on your needs and caregiver availability. We'll coordinate with the hospital's discharge team and your parent's doctor to understand what's needed right away. If it's urgent, we make it happen faster. Most families appreciate having someone in place before the first week alone at home feels overwhelming.
Alzheimer's Care through us is private pay. Medicare and insurance typically cover skilled nursing or rehabilitation, not ongoing personal care for memory loss management. We work with families to build a schedule and budget that works for them, whether that's a few hours a week or daily support.
A home health aide is sent by an agency as part of a medical plan and focuses on personal care tasks. Alzheimer's Care is specialized support for memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes. Our caregivers are matched specifically for Alzheimer's progression, trained on safety and structure, and briefed on your parent's specific personality and triggers. It's a different focus.
Yes, that's how we work. We don't make quick assignments. We listen to what your parent is like now, what their fears are, what their routine needs to be, and we find someone who fits. Sometimes that takes an extra day or two, and it's worth it.
We have backup coverage in the Winchester area. We notify you as soon as we know someone won't be there, and we find a replacement from our team who knows Alzheimer's Care. We brief them on your parent before they arrive. You're never left hanging.
