Dementia Care in Trumbull, CT
Specialized in-home support for seniors with dementia, Alzheimer's, and memory loss.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
You drove over to your parents’ house on Daniels Farm Road and found the stove left on again, the same story told three times before you sat down, and a look in your dad’s eyes that told you he wasn’t quite sure who you were for a moment. That moment changes things. Families in Trumbull reach out to us when they realize they can’t keep watch every hour of the day, and they shouldn’t have to do it alone. We provide in-home dementia care that keeps your parent in a familiar place, with a familiar routine, and with someone calm and steady beside them.
Dementia care at home means a caregiver shows up consistently, learns your parent’s rhythms, and helps carry the weight of the day. That includes help with meals, bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and staying safe in the house. It also means conversation, gentle redirection when confusion sets in, and the kind of steady presence that keeps anxiety from spiking.
Trumbull families often contact us after a hospitalization, sometimes following a discharge from St. Vincent’s Medical Center when a doctor has flagged that it’s no longer safe to leave someone alone at home. We work with those transitions directly, moving quickly so there’s no gap between leaving the hospital and having support in place. Wherever your parent lives in Trumbull, we can reach them.
What families here tend to need most is consistency. The same caregiver, the same schedule, the same calm voice at the same time each morning. Routine is one of the few things that still anchors a person with dementia, and we build care around protecting it. We’re nurse-founded, which means the way we train, match, and brief caregivers reflects what nurses actually see go wrong when memory care is handed off carelessly.
Nurse-founded
Our agency was started by a working nurse who saw firsthand what families managing memory loss actually needed: safety at home, a reliable routine, and honest guidance from people who understand what this kind of care involves.
Built around this service
Dementia care requires a different kind of caregiver briefing. We share what triggers your parent, what calms them, and what their day looks like before the first shift, not after the first bad day.
We stay reachable
Dementia care doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do we. When something changes, you can reach us. We don’t route you through a call center or put you on hold when it matters.
Local to Trumbull
We know Fairfield County. We know how discharges from St. Vincent’s Medical Center work, we know the roads, and we know the families here. That local knowledge makes everything move faster and fit better.
How it works
You tell us what’s happening. No forms to fill out, no sales process. We listen to the situation and ask the questions that matter for memory care specifically.
For dementia care, the match isn’t just about schedule availability. We look at temperament, experience with memory loss, and how a caregiver handles the hard moments calmly.
Often same day for Trumbull families in an urgent situation. We don’t make you wait through a long intake process when someone needs help now.
You won’t be handed off and forgotten. We check in regularly so you know what’s happening, and if something shifts with your parent’s care needs, you call us and we adjust.
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
A typical day involves help with morning routines like bathing, dressing, and breakfast, followed by whatever activities keep your parent calm and engaged. That might be a walk, a familiar TV program, or just steady company. The caregiver handles medication reminders, prepares meals, keeps the home safe, and monitors for any changes in behavior or mood. The goal is a day that feels ordinary, because ordinary is what people with dementia do best with.
We can often have a caregiver in place the same day a family calls us after a discharge. St. Vincent's discharge coordinators sometimes flag families who need immediate at-home support, and we're set up to respond to those situations quickly. You don't need to have everything figured out before you call. Tell us when discharge is happening and we'll work backward from there.
We're a private-pay agency, which means we don't bill Medicare or Medicaid. Most standard insurance plans also don't cover non-medical in-home care. Some long-term care insurance policies do cover this type of care, so it's worth checking your parent's policy if they have one. We're upfront about costs from the first conversation so there are no surprises.
A home health aide is typically a medically licensed role that handles clinical tasks ordered by a doctor, things like wound care or skilled nursing assessments. Dementia care from us is non-medical, meaning we focus on daily life, safety, routine, and companionship rather than medical procedures. The two types of care can work alongside each other well. We often work in tandem with visiting nurses or therapists when a family has both needs.
Yes, and for dementia care we take that seriously. We ask questions about your parent's history, temperament, what they find comforting, what sets them off, and what their day used to look like before memory loss changed things. That information shapes who we send. If the first match isn't right, we don't make you wait around wondering. We adjust.
We don't leave you without coverage. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we find a backup and we brief that person before they arrive. We know that with dementia care, a stranger walking through the door unannounced can be disorienting for your parent, so we handle the handoff carefully. You'll hear from us before any change happens, not after.
