Parkinson’s Care is support tailored to parents living at home with Parkinson’s disease. We’re here for the tremors, the falls, the slower mornings, the medication schedules that matter. Our caregivers know the specific challenges: the balance issues that show up without warning, the fatigue that comes mid-afternoon, the times you need someone in the house who understands what’s actually happening.
On a typical day, your caregiver helps with the things that have become harder: getting up safely, taking medications on time, moving around the house without falling, personal care, meal prep, and just being present so your parent isn’t alone during the vulnerable hours. We watch for changes and we report back to you. We catch the small things before they become big problems.
If your parent was recently discharged from Sharon Hospital or you’re managing their care locally in Litchfield County, we understand the post-discharge rhythm and what Sharon’s team recommended. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers are trained in the medical side of Parkinson’s, not just the day-to-day tasks. That training matters when you’re trying to keep someone safe at home.
Our founder is a nurse with deep experience in Parkinson’s care. That means every caregiver we send knows what tremors look like, how to prevent falls, how to help with mobility decline, and why medication schedules can’t slip. We’re not guessing. We know.
We spend time understanding your parent’s specific needs, personality, and what matters most to your family. Then we train and pair a caregiver who fits. We don’t just send someone. We brief them fully and stay involved so everyone’s on the same page.
Parkinson’s isn’t predictable. If your parent has a harder week or your schedule shifts, you call us. We listen, we adjust, and we communicate with your caregiver so the care stays steady. You’re not managing this alone.
We’re local to Canaan, North Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, and Cornwall. We know the Sharon Hospital discharge process, the local doctors, and the specific landscape of care in this area. That local knowledge matters when you need quick answers.

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
We help your parent get up safely, take medications on schedule, move around the house without falling, manage personal care, and prepare meals. We also watch for changes in their mood, mobility, or tremors and keep you informed. Our caregivers are trained to recognize early signs of falls, medication confusion, or other complications so you know what's really happening at home. This isn't just sitting in the same room. It's active, attentive support.
We can often start within a few days of discharge, sometimes sooner if you call ahead. We coordinate with Sharon's discharge team to understand what they recommended and what your parent needs right now. If your parent is coming home with new medications or mobility concerns, we're ready to step in immediately. We'll schedule an in-home meeting to assess and then match a caregiver.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or physical therapy through home health agencies, but not companion or personal care support. We're here for that gap, the day-to-day care that keeps your parent safe and allows them to stay home. We can discuss costs and what fits your budget during an initial call.
Home health aides are usually sent through agencies and provide personal care tasks under a care plan written by a nurse or doctor. They're often covered by insurance if there's a medical need. Parkinson's Care is customized support we provide directly. We're trained in Parkinson's specifically, we stay longer and more consistently, and we focus on safety, medication management, and preventing falls. We're a different model, built for this disease.
Yes. We learn about your parent's personality, their routines, what they care about, and what worries you most. Then we find a caregiver whose experience and temperament match. If your parent needs someone patient with tremors, or someone strong for mobility support, or someone who just knows how to sit quietly and be present, we listen for that. We don't rush the match because it matters.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready in the Canaan area. If your regular person is sick or unavailable, we fill the gap quickly so your parent's routine stays steady. We brief backups on your parent's specific needs and schedule so there's minimal disruption. We also talk with you first so you know who's coming and what to expect.
