Parkinson’s Care is support specifically built around the real, daily challenges your parent faces with tremors, falls, mobility decline, and keeping medication schedules straight. We’re not here to replace what you do, but to show up where Parkinson’s makes life harder.
On any given day, our caregivers are helping your parent stay steady on their feet, managing the timing of their meds so nothing gets missed, adapting routines as strength and balance change, and watching for the small warning signs that something needs attention. We also give you peace of mind by handling the details that are hardest to manage from a distance.
If your parent came home from Windham Hospital or had recent changes in their care, we know that transition well. Our founder is a nurse, so every caregiver we match understands both the medical side of Parkinson’s and the simple human truth that your parent wants to stay home and be themselves.
Our founder trained in nursing and started this work because she saw families struggling to manage tremors, falls, and medication timing on their own. That means every caregiver we train carries real understanding of what Parkinson’s does, not just general home care knowledge.
We don’t send a caregiver just because they’re available. We brief them on your parent’s specific needs, temperament, and home setup in Ashford, then match someone whose experience fits. That first visit matters, and we make sure it goes right.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s tremors get worse on a particular day or balance becomes shakier, you can reach us and we adjust. You’re not starting over with a new person or waiting for answers.
We’re based here and work regularly with Windham Hospital’s discharge process. We show up the same day or next morning after your parent comes home, and we already know the hospitals and doctors in your area.
How it works
We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Parkinson’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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 caregiver comes to help with morning routines, watching for balance and tremors so falls don't happen. They manage your parent's medication schedule and make sure doses are taken on time. During the day they stay close by, help with meals, and keep an eye on mobility. They also do light housekeeping so your parent's space stays safe. What exactly happens depends on what your parent needs most, and we adjust as things change.
If you call us while your parent is still at Windham Hospital or the day they come home, we can often have a caregiver there the next morning. We coordinate with the discharge team to understand what your parent needs, then brief our caregiver on medications, mobility limits, and any equipment being used. Faster starts mean fewer days of scrambling on your own.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you arrange payment directly with us. We don't bill Medicare or insurance because we're not a medical agency, we're a home care service. That actually works in your favor, because there's no waiting for approvals or fighting with documentation. If your parent has long-term care insurance, some policies do reimburse for private home care, so it's worth checking your policy.
Home health aides come after a medical order from your doctor and focus on daily living tasks. Parkinson's Care is what we do when the medical piece is settled but your parent still needs someone who understands Parkinson's specifically, someone trained to spot fall risks, manage tremors, and keep medication routines steady. Many families use both, or switch to us once the short-term home health window closes.
Yes. We talk with you first about what your parent's biggest challenges are, whether that's tremors, falls, medication timing, or just needing someone reliable nearby. Then we match someone with experience in Parkinson's and a personality that fits your family. If the match isn't right, we find someone else. This isn't about sending whoever's available, it's about getting the right person in your home.
We have backup caregivers in Ashford and the surrounding area who know Parkinson's care. If your regular person can't make a shift, we call in someone who's already been briefed and can step in. We let you know as soon as we know, and we don't cancel on you unless absolutely unavoidable. Your parent's care continuity matters to us.
