Alzheimer’s Care is hands-on support for someone whose memory, thinking, or ability to manage daily tasks is changing because of Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s not a light touch either. A caregiver comes into your home to help with the things that matter most: structure, safety, medication reminders, meals, and watching for signs that something’s shifted.
On a typical day, your caregiver might help your parent get dressed, make sure they eat breakfast, keep them engaged in activities that feel good to them, watch for wandering, stay alert during transitions (like afternoon restlessness), and document what you need to know. It’s about reducing the chaos in their day and reducing yours. Many families tell us that having someone trained in Alzheimer’s progression means fewer crises and fewer 3 a.m. calls.
If your parent was recently discharged from Waterbury Hospital or is seeing doctors at our local clinics, Alzheimer’s Care fits naturally into their routine. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand disease progression, can spot changes early, and know when to flag something for your doctor. We don’t just show up and do tasks, we partner with you on what your parent actually needs as things evolve.
Our founder came through this with her own family. We know the weight of watching someone change, the guilt when you need a break, and the fear that you’re missing something. Alzheimer’s Care with us isn’t about judgment, it’s about giving you real relief and real eyes on what’s happening.
We don’t just assign someone. We listen to your parent’s personality, habits, and what makes them feel safe. Then we find a caregiver who fits that picture and has real experience with Alzheimer’s progression. We check in regularly and adjust when we see something’s working or isn’t.
Alzheimer’s isn’t linear. A good day becomes a hard week. You need someone you can reach who actually understands what that means. We’re here when you need to talk through what’s happening or shift the plan.
Waterbury Hospital is part of our daily context. We understand discharge planning, we work with local doctors, and we know Wolcott and New Haven County inside out. That means faster starts and better care from day one.

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 caregiver helps with morning routines, medication reminders, meals, and activities that keep your parent engaged and calm. They watch for changes in behavior, mood, or safety concerns like wandering. They keep your home calm and structured, which is often what people with Alzheimer's need most. They also document what you need to know, so you're never guessing what happened while you were at work. It's presence, attention, and support that reduces crisis.
We can usually start within 48 hours of your call if you need immediate help. If you're planning ahead after a hospital discharge, we work with the discharge planner to make sure we're briefed on your parent's needs and any medical changes. We'll meet with your family first, ask detailed questions, and make sure the match feels right before the first day.
Alzheimer's Care is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing or medical home health only, not the kind of ongoing presence and support that Alzheimer's families actually need. We work with many families who use a combination of their budget, help from siblings, or sometimes long-term care insurance if they have it. We're transparent about cost and can talk through what makes sense for your situation.
A home health aide comes through Medicare or insurance after a hospital stay, usually for a few weeks and focused on medical tasks. Alzheimer's Care is ongoing, private pay support by someone trained in dementia behavior, safety, and how the disease progresses over time. We're not replacing your doctor or medical care, we're providing the daily structure and watch that keeps your parent safe and your family sane.
Yes. We ask you detailed questions about who your parent was before, what they love, what upsets them, their routines, and what safety concerns you have. Then we find someone from our Wolcott team who has experience with those specific needs and personalities. We introduce them before the start, and we keep adjusting if it's not clicking right.
We don't leave you stranded. We have backup caregivers we've trained and vetted who can step in. If it's a sudden absence, we'll call you immediately with options. If it's planned time off, we let you know well in advance so you're not caught off guard. Your peace of mind matters as much as your parent's care.
