Assisted Living Services, Inc. solely provides nonmedical care
Our staff and caregivers take great pride in going above and beyond for the seniors and families they care for, providing a broad range of home care services to clients in 50+ townships in Connecticut.
More than 5 million people in the United States are currently diagnosed with having dementia. 60% of women and 10% of men past the age of 55 will develop a form of the disease. Our care services have evolved over the years to meet the needs of this growing population.
Coordinated by Mary Scagliarini, a registered nurse and certified Dementia Care Practitioner (CDP), our adult family living program provides support to family members caring for a loved one. We work with Title 19 (Medicaid) funded clients and clients on the CT Homecare Program for Elders.
Assisted Living Services provides oversight for the in-home care provided by a family member. Oversight includes:
The CDP certification is administered through the National Council of Certified Dementia Care Practitioners.

The CDP® commits to ongoing professional development through NCCDP Staff Education Week or other educational opportunities and re-certification every two years.
