How we walk alongside you

Care that fits your person.

A diagnosis of dementia frightens the whole family. Our caregivers meet your loved one where they are, using familiar routines and gentle redirection to keep days calm and safe.

We also give exhausted family caregivers a chance to breathe, with respite and overnight support whenever it is needed.

Signs it may be time for dementia care at home

  • Familiar tasks like following a recipe, paying a bill or working the stove have started to slip.
  • The same story or question comes up again and again within a single conversation.
  • There are moments of confusion about the day, the season, or how to get home from a place they have known for years.
  • Doors are left unlocked, the stove is left on, or your parent has wandered outside at odd hours.
  • Someone who was easygoing grows anxious or agitated as the afternoon fades, and you are worn out from watching over everything alone.

Noticing one or two of these does not mean a decision has to be made today. It simply means it may be time for a conversation.

We send more than caregivers. We send good listeners, gentle hands, people who notice the small things: the favorite teacup, the afternoon light, the stories told twice and loved twice.

In-home support from Golden Touch, dementia & alzheimer’s care

The small things,
done with care.

Memory loss rarely follows a straight line, and what soothed your loved one yesterday may unsettle them today. Our caregivers learn the small things that steady a day, a favorite chair, the order of a morning, the name they answer to best, and they hold that rhythm so home keeps feeling like home. We also work to keep the same caregivers coming back whenever we can, because trust is easier when the face at the door is one your loved one already knows. On the harder afternoons and evenings, we stay calm and unhurried, easing worry rather than arguing with it.

  • Familiar routines and gentle redirection
  • Safety and wandering prevention
  • Help with daily living at their pace
  • Calm support on the hard days
  • Respite for family caregivers

Good questions

Dementia care questions Hartford families ask

How soon can dementia care start at home?

Care can usually begin within 24 hours of your first call, and faster when a hospital discharge is involved. Our Care Coordinator answers 24/7, so someone real will listen to what is happening and get a caregiver in place. We ask for a four-hour minimum per visit, which gives enough time to settle into a calm routine rather than rush.

How much does memory care at home cost, and how do families pay for it?

You will get a clear quote on your first call, with no guessing and no pressure. Families pay through private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid, subject to verification. We will walk you through which of those may apply to your situation.

What if my mom does not warm up to her caregiver?

Fit matters more with dementia than almost anything, so if the match is not right we will re-match at no charge. We look for a caregiver whose temperament is calm and unhurried, and we keep the same person coming back whenever we can so a real bond has time to form. Golden Touch is a licensed, bonded and insured Connecticut homemaker and companion agency, so you can feel secure about who is in your home.

Is this the same as home health care?

No. Golden Touch is a non-medical homemaker and companion agency, which means our care is about everyday life rather than health services. We help with familiar routines, meals, safety around the home, companionship and medication reminders, and we never administer medication ourselves. For anything to do with health, we work respectfully alongside your loved one's own doctor and care providers.

What do your caregivers do when my dad gets confused or upset?

We never correct or argue, because that usually deepens the distress. Instead our caregivers meet your dad in the moment he is in, gently redirect toward something calming and familiar, and let the feeling pass without a battle. A steady routine and the same trusted faces are what prevent most of those hard moments before they start.
