Your mom made it through lunch without spilling her coffee, but then you noticed her left hand shaking worse than last month when you visited. The drive home from Brooklyn down Route 6 felt longer, wondering if she’s managing her medication schedule on her own. A call to Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge coordinator confirmed what you already sensed, that managing Parkinson’s at home needs more than good intentions.

Parkinson’s Care means we show up to help your parent stay safely at home while their disease progresses. We’re not nurses or therapists, but caregivers trained to recognize tremors, support mobility as it declines, keep medication schedules on track, and catch falls before they happen. You get someone in the house who understands what Parkinson’s actually looks like day to day.
On a typical day, we help with the tasks that become harder: getting dressed without frustration, eating without fatigue, moving around the house without fear. We watch for the small changes, the missed doses, the slowness creeping in. We’re a second set of eyes and steady hands when your parent needs them most.
Brooklyn families often connect with us after a hospital stay at Day Kimball or through their neurologist’s office. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to read a care plan, communicate clearly with your parent’s medical team, and spot when something has shifted. Being local to Windham County means we know the discharge process and the doctors your parent trusts.
We started this work because we’ve seen families navigate tremors and falls without support. Our caregivers understand medication timing, recognize mobility decline before a crisis, and know what questions to ask your parent’s doctor.
We don’t just send someone to your door. We listen to your parent’s routine, their personality, what matters to them. Then we brief the caregiver thoroughly and check in regularly to make sure the fit is working.
Parkinson’s moves unpredictably. When your parent’s needs shift, when a medication adjustment hits different, when you need to adjust hours, we answer and adapt. You’re not starting over with a new agency.
We’re embedded here. We understand the discharge timeline from Day Kimball Hospital, we work with local neurologists, and we know Brooklyn’s neighborhoods and access points. That familiarity matters when every day counts.
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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We help with activities that become harder as Parkinson's progresses: dressing, bathing, eating, and moving through the house safely. We manage medication schedules, watch for tremors or balance changes, and prevent falls by knowing your parent's patterns. We're also a calm presence during frustrating moments, which matters as much as physical help. The specific tasks depend on your parent's current stage and what you need from us.
We can often start within days if a hospital social worker connects you with us before discharge. If you're calling after you're already home, we typically schedule an intake conversation within 24 hours and can have a caregiver in place within a week. For urgent situations, we work with Day Kimball's care coordination team to move faster. Timing depends on your parent's needs and which caregiver matches best.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, meaning you pay us directly and manage insurance reimbursement on your own if your plan offers it. We provide detailed invoices that some families submit to their insurance. Medicare typically doesn't cover this level of care unless it's skilled nursing, which is different. We're honest about costs from the start and can discuss payment options.
Home health aides come through a medical agency, usually ordered by a doctor for a specific medical reason, and are often covered by insurance or Medicare. They focus on medical tasks. We're private caregivers trained specifically in Parkinson's support, with more flexibility in scheduling and focus on the daily living pieces that prevent decline and falls. Both can be part of your parent's care plan.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's routine, personality, what frustrates them, and what kind of person they'd trust in their home. We listen to whether they need someone energetic or calm, chatty or quiet, morning person or afternoon helper. Then we match thoughtfully and brief the caregiver thoroughly before the first day. If it's not right, we adjust.
We find a backup from our team who knows Parkinson's Care and can step in. We don't leave you scrambling on short notice. If your parent has a preferred routine or specific preferences, we brief the backup caregiver so the transition feels less jarring. You'll know who's coming and when.
