Parkinson’s Care in Bolton, CT
In-home care for seniors living with Parkinson's disease — fall prevention, mobility support, and daily assistance.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
You were sitting with your father after his neurologist appointment at the clinic off Route 44, and the doctor said the words you’d been half-expecting. On the drive back through Bolton Center you kept the conversation light, but you were already running through the math in your head: his medications, the steps to the back door, whether the grab bar in the bathroom was actually enough. That moment stays with you.
Parkinson’s doesn’t stay still, and keeping your parent safely at home in Bolton takes more than goodwill. Tremors affect grip. Freezing episodes affect walking. Medication timing can mean the difference between a good afternoon and a fall. We help families carry that weight in a way that actually works day to day.
Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded and based in Connecticut. We work with families in Bolton and across Tolland County who are figuring this out for the first time, and some who’ve been at it for years and finally need more support.
Parkinson’s Care at home is about staying ahead of the risks that build up quietly. Our caregivers help with morning routines when stiffness is worst, steady movement through the house, and reminders and support around medication timing. We watch for changes in gait, in energy, in how your parent is holding a cup, because those details matter before they become something bigger.
Day to day, that looks like hands-on help with bathing, dressing, and meals, along with steady company during the hours when fatigue and low mood tend to settle in. For Bolton families whose parent has come home from Manchester Memorial Hospital after a fall or a procedure, we can often begin care within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. We coordinate with what the hospital team has already put in place rather than starting from scratch.
Families in Bolton often need a caregiver who can handle the unpredictability of Parkinson’s. Some days are better than others, and a good caregiver reads the day and adjusts. We also help with the practical things families worry about most: the cluttered hallway that creates a fall risk, the medication chart that keeps slipping, the moments when your parent freezes mid-step and needs a calm, practiced hand nearby.
Because we were founded by a working nurse, our approach to Parkinson’s Care is grounded in clinical understanding, which means caregivers are matched with this specific condition in mind, briefed on what to watch for, and not just placed based on open hours.
Nurse-founded, not just staffing
Our founder is a working nurse who watched families dealing with tremors, falls, medication timing, and mobility loss try to manage with aides who weren’t prepared for any of it. She built this agency to fix that specifically.
Built around this condition
Our caregivers for Parkinson’s are matched on experience, briefed on your parent’s current stage and habits, and prepared for the variability that makes this disease hard to manage. It’s a different kind of placement process.
We stay reachable
When something changes, you call us and someone answers. You’re not leaving a voicemail for a case manager you’ve never met. If your parent had a rough night, we want to know that morning.
We know Tolland County
We understand how discharge works at Manchester Memorial, what families in Bolton are navigating, and how to connect care at home with what the medical team has already recommended. This isn’t a remote call center matching service.
How it works
You tell us what’s going on. No intake forms, no pressure, no script. We listen, ask a few questions, and help you understand what level of support makes sense right now.
We don’t fill the shift with whoever is available. We match based on experience with tremors, freezing episodes, mobility support, and medication routines, along with your parent’s personality and preferences.
For Bolton families with an urgent situation, often same day. If your parent is coming home from Manchester Memorial and needs support right away, we move fast.
Parkinson’s shifts over time, and your care plan should shift with it. We check in with you regularly so adjustments happen before something goes wrong, not after.
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
A typical day depends on the stage of the disease and your parent's routine, but generally it includes help with morning hygiene and dressing (when stiffness is usually worst), meal preparation, medication reminders, and steady support with walking and transfers. Caregivers also watch for changes in gait, voice, or balance that families might not notice because they see their parent so often. In the afternoon, that might mean sitting with your parent during a rest period or going through light activity that keeps movement going. The goal is a safer, more manageable day without turning your parent's home into something clinical.
In most cases we can have care in place within 24 to 48 hours of a discharge from Manchester Memorial Hospital. If the situation is urgent, call us directly and we'll tell you honestly what we can do on that timeline. We work with what the hospital team has already put in place, so we're not asking your family to start over from the beginning. The discharge window is one of the riskiest periods for someone with Parkinson's, and we treat it that way.
We are a private-pay agency, which means we don't bill Medicare or Medicaid. Some long-term care insurance policies do cover private-duty home care, so it's worth checking your parent's policy if they have one. We can provide documentation to support an insurance claim if needed. We're upfront about cost from the first call, and we'll help you understand exactly what you'd be looking at before anything is decided.
A home health aide ordered through Medicare is typically focused on skilled tasks following a qualifying hospital stay, and the visits are time-limited and often short. Our Parkinson's Care is non-medical but built around the daily realities of the disease: fall prevention, medication timing support, safe mobility, emotional steadiness, and sustained presence. We're not replacing your parent's medical team. We're covering the hours in between, which is where most of the risk and exhaustion actually lives for families.
Yes, and that matching conversation is part of how we start. We ask about your parent's personality, their daily preferences, how they respond to help being offered, and what has or hasn't worked before. For Parkinson's specifically we also ask about the stage of the disease, what symptoms are most present right now, and what routines matter most to your parent's sense of control. A caregiver who is technically capable but personally wrong for your parent won't work, and we know that.
We keep a backup plan in place and we notify you as early as possible when a scheduling change comes up. If a substitute caregiver is needed, we brief them on your parent's situation before they arrive so it's not a cold introduction. We don't leave a family in Bolton without coverage and expect them to figure it out. You hear from us first, not after the fact.
