Alzheimer’s Care is support designed for someone whose memory, thinking, or behavior is changing. We’re not here to cure anything. We’re here to help your parent stay safe, stay on a routine, and stay as much themselves as possible while you get relief.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, meals, medication reminders, and keeping your parent engaged and oriented. We watch for wandering, falls, or confusion that could turn into a crisis. We notice when appetite changes or sleep shifts. We keep the structure your parent’s brain is asking for, even when they can’t ask for it themselves.
Many Windham families come to us after a hospital stay at Windham Hospital or a doctor’s appointment that made the diagnosis real. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand Alzheimer’s progression the way a clinician does, not just as a job description. We’ve been the daughter, the son, the spouse sitting in that waiting room. That changes how we show up.
Our founder spent years as a nurse watching families navigate cognitive decline. We understand the guilt, the fear that you’re not doing enough, the physical exhaustion of being a caregiver. We’ve built Alzheimer’s Care around relieving that weight so you can actually be present with your parent instead of just managing the crisis.
We don’t just send a caregiver and hope it works. We listen to who your parent is, what time of day they’re most confused, whether they respond better to routine or flexibility. We brief your matched caregiver on the small things that matter: the chair they prefer, the songs they respond to, the triggers that cause agitation.
Alzheimer’s is not a straight line. Some days are better than others. Some weeks bring new behaviors or needs. You can reach us when something shifts, and we adjust the plan with you instead of making you figure it out alone.
We know Windham Hospital’s discharge process, the traffic patterns that affect timing, and the neighborhoods where our caregivers live and work. We’re not a national company with a call center. We’re here.

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.

Common questions
A typical day includes help with personal care like bathing and dressing, preparing meals and reminding about eating, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and structured activities that keep your parent engaged. We watch for safety issues like wandering, falls, or confusion that could escalate. We also document what we observe, so you and your parent's doctor have a clear picture of how they're doing at home. It's both the hands-on care and the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone trained is paying attention.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours if you reach out to us right away. If your parent is still at Windham Hospital, we can coordinate directly with the discharge team so there's no gap. The sooner you call, the sooner we can meet, learn your parent's needs, and have a caregiver ready. We understand that discharge planning is stressful and happens fast.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approval or dealing with coverage limits that might deny the hours your parent actually needs. We work with families to build a schedule and budget that fits. Some families use long-term care insurance, personal funds, or family contributions. We can talk through the options with you and help you understand what the real cost of care is in Windham.
A home health aide typically comes after a medical event and is covered by insurance for a set period. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing support for cognitive decline, and it's tailored to the specific behaviors and needs that come with memory loss. Our caregivers are trained to understand how to keep someone with Alzheimer's safe, oriented, and as independent as they can be. We're not replacing medical care, we're providing the day-to-day presence that allows your parent to stay home.
Yes. We meet with you and your parent before anyone starts working, and we ask detailed questions about personality, preferences, routines, and triggers. We then match a caregiver whose style and experience fit. If it's not working after the first week or two, we make a change. The relationship matters. A good match can be the difference between your parent feeling supported and feeling unsettled.
We have a backup plan. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we notify you as soon as we know and send a trained replacement caregiver your parent has met or briefed. We don't leave you without coverage. In Windham, we maintain a pool of caregivers we know and trust so that continuity doesn't break when something unexpected happens.
