Alzheimer’s Care is about showing up when memory loss starts running the household instead of your parent. We’re not here to cure anything. We’re here to keep your parent safe, maintain routines that matter, and give you back some air to breathe while the disease does what it does.
On a typical day, this might mean helping your parent remember they’ve eaten breakfast, keeping them engaged with activities that feel familiar, watching for wandering behavior before it becomes a crisis, and making sure medications actually get taken instead of sitting in a pile. We also listen for the small changes, the mood shifts, the behavioral patterns that tell us what your parent needs today versus what they needed last week.
If your parent has just been discharged from Day Kimball Hospital or is managing Alzheimer’s at home in Woodstock, we fill the gap between what your family can do and what the disease is demanding. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand progression, recognize what’s a normal part of this and what needs attention, and we don’t treat Alzheimer’s Care like a checklist. It’s about what works for your family.
We started this work as nurses, not spreadsheets. We know the difference between bad days and new decline, between wandering that’s exploratory and wandering that’s frightened. Your parent gets caregivers trained in what Alzheimer’s actually looks like at 3 a.m., at the grocery store, and when the familiar person isn’t who they used to be.
We spend time understanding your parent, your family, and what will actually work in your home. Then we find someone who gets it. We’ve seen too many placements fail because nobody asked whether your parent does better with quiet mornings or structured activity, or whether your family needs someone chatty or someone steady.
Alzheimer’s doesn’t keep business hours. You can reach us when you need to adjust frequency, talk through what you’re seeing, or when a caregiver needs guidance on something new. You’re not alone figuring this out between appointments.
We work with families in Pomfret, Thompson, Eastford, and Union. We understand the discharge process at Day Kimball Hospital and can start care quickly when your parent is ready to come home. We’re local enough to know your community and responsive enough to be 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
It depends on your parent's stage and your family's needs, but we're typically talking about: helping with personal care and safety, making sure meals and medications happen, watching for wandering or behavioral changes, keeping some routine going so the day feels less chaotic, and giving you time to rest or handle other things. We document what we see so you and the doctor stay informed. We also talk with your parent about things that matter to them, because Alzheimer's doesn't erase personality overnight.
We can usually start within 24 to 48 hours of a call, depending on availability in your area of Woodstock. If your parent is being discharged from Day Kimball, let us know the timeline early so we can match a caregiver and get them briefed before your parent comes home. The smoother that transition, the better everyone handles it.
We're private pay, which means you pay directly. This actually gives us flexibility that Medicare doesn't. We're not bound by visit limits or strict documentation that often gets in the way of real care. Many families find a way to make it work, and we can talk through options like veteran benefits, Medicaid planning, or splitting shifts with family time.
A home health aide is usually sent by a medical agency and focuses on personal care tasks within a limited number of visits. Alzheimer's Care is about someone who knows progression, knows your parent, and can adjust to behavioral and safety changes as they happen. We're here for the emotional and safety work too, not just the bathing and dressing.
Yes. We talk with you first about what matters: Is your parent an early stage still managing most things, or mid-stage where safety is constant work? Do they do better with someone quiet and gentle, or with structure and activity? We listen to the details and match someone who fits, not just whoever is available next.
We have backup caregivers who know the situation and can step in. We also make sure we're not leaving you hanging when life happens. If we can't cover a shift, we tell you ahead of time so you can plan, not panic. Reliability matters when someone you care about needs care.
