Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support designed for parents living at home while managing Parkinson’s disease. We’re here for the tremors, the balance issues, the days when mobility feels harder than it should, and the medication schedules that can’t slip. This isn’t about replacing your involvement, it’s about giving you reliable help so your parent stays safe and you both sleep better.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with morning routines, watches for fall risks, reminds about medications on time, and stays alert to the small changes that matter. You’ll notice steadier movement, meals happening regularly, and someone there if your parent has a rough afternoon. We catch the things that are easy to miss when you’re managing everything from a distance.
If your parent was recently discharged from New Milford Hospital or is navigating Parkinson’s at home in Bridgewater, we know this terrain well. Our founder came from nursing, which means everyone on our team understands the medical side of Parkinson’s alongside the everyday reality of keeping your parent independent and safe.
Our founder spent years in care settings seeing what actually works for Parkinson’s patients. We understand tremors, fall prevention, mobility decline, and why medication timing matters so much. That experience shapes how we hire, train, and match caregivers to your parent’s specific situation.
We don’t just send someone available. We listen to what your parent needs, what scares you most, and what your days actually look like. Then we match a caregiver with real Parkinson’s experience who can show up steady and calm, day after day.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a script. If your parent’s needs shift, if your caregiver needs to adjust the plan, or if you have a question at 3 p.m., you reach us and get real help. No voicemail maze.
We know the discharge process from New Milford Hospital and the rhythm of care in Bridgewater and surrounding towns. We’ve worked with families here long enough to understand what matters to you.

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
Your caregiver helps with personal care and dressing, reminds about medications and checks timing, assists with mobility and walking to reduce fall risk, prepares meals, and watches for tremors or balance changes that need attention. They're also there if your parent needs someone present during difficult afternoons or if anxiety picks up. The goal is keeping your parent safe, independent, and living well at home.
We can often start within days of a hospital discharge if you call us right away. We work directly with discharge planners at New Milford Hospital to understand your parent's needs and timeline. The faster we can connect, the safer the transition home. Call us as soon as you know your parent is being discharged, and we'll move quickly to get a caregiver in place.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. This gives us freedom to focus entirely on your parent's needs without insurance approval delays. We're transparent about costs upfront and work with families to build a schedule that fits your budget. Many families find that the reliability and expertise are worth the investment.
A home health aide typically comes after a doctor's order and for a limited time, often focused on recovery from surgery or injury. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support for someone managing a chronic condition at home, with caregivers trained to understand Parkinson's specifically. Your caregiver knows how to watch for tremors, balance changes, and medication side effects in ways a general aide might not. It's the difference between someone helping with tasks and someone who understands your parent's condition.
Yes. We start by listening to what matters most, your parent's personality, any behaviors or anxiety that comes with Parkinson's, and what your family needs. Then we match a caregiver with relevant experience who fits that picture. If the match isn't quite right, we adjust. You're not getting whoever is available, you're getting someone we think will work well together.
We have backup caregivers who are trained and ready to step in. We try to limit surprises by letting you know as early as possible if there's a change, and we send someone your parent has met before when we can. We understand that consistency matters with Parkinson's Care, so we're thoughtful about coverage gaps.
