Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is help your parent receives at home, focused on the real challenges of living with Parkinson’s disease. We work with tremors, falls, mobility decline, medication schedules, and the day-to-day reality of managing a chronic condition while staying in the home you know.
On a typical day, your caregiver might help your parent take medications on time, steady them during transfers or walks, monitor for falls, and keep an eye on changes in movement or mood. We’re also there to notice when something shifts, when a fall happens but isn’t reported, or when tremors are affecting your parent’s confidence at mealtime.
We’re based in New London County and know the care landscape here, including discharge planning from William W. Backus Hospital. Our nurses have lived through Parkinson’s care in their own families, so we understand what you’re actually dealing with, not just what a textbook says.
We’re nurse-founded because someone had to sit with a parent shaking in a chair and figure out what actually helps. That experience shapes how we match caregivers, what we watch for, and how we talk to you about falls, tremors, and medication timing. You’re not explaining Parkinson’s to someone reading a manual.
We don’t send a generic caregiver and hope it works. We learn what your parent needs, how their tremors show up, whether they’re afraid to walk, what time their medications matter most. Then we match someone with real Parkinson’s experience who gets it the first day.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent has a fall, if medication timing needs adjusting, if you need to reach someone at 10 p.m., we’re reachable. You’re not bouncing between an agency voicemail and a nurse line that doesn’t know your family.
We know the discharge process at William W. Backus Hospital, we’re familiar with the neighborhoods from Colchester Center to outlying areas, and we’re here consistently, not rotating in from far away. Your parent stays home, and you work with people who understand this community.

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
Your caregiver helps with medication schedules so nothing is skipped, steadies your parent during movement and transfers to prevent falls, watches for tremor changes and how they affect eating or daily tasks, and stays alert for signs of decline. We also listen, notice mood shifts, and keep communication open with you and your parent's doctor. This is not just supervision. It's someone there who knows what Parkinson's looks like and what to do about it.
We can often start within days of discharge if that's what you need. We work with the hospital's discharge planner to understand your parent's immediate needs, tremor control, fall risk, and medication setup. If your parent is coming home and you're worried about those first weeks, call us early. We've coordinated this transition many times and know how to step in smoothly.
No. Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for insurance approval or fighting coverage denials. That clarity lets us focus entirely on your parent's needs without navigating bureaucracy. We work with families to discuss what's realistic and what arrangements make sense for your situation.
A home health aide is typically ordered by a doctor for short-term medical recovery and is covered by insurance. Parkinson's Care is ongoing, private pay support for someone living with a chronic condition at home. Our caregivers have specific training in Parkinson's tremors, falls, mobility, and medication routines, and they stay with families long-term, building real knowledge of how your parent's condition is changing.
Yes. We talk with you and your parent about what matters most: whether tremors are worst in the morning, whether your parent is afraid of falling on stairs or in the bathroom, whether they live alone or with family, what medications are most critical. Then we match someone with Parkinson's experience who fits that picture. It's not random. It's intentional.
We have backup caregivers trained in Parkinson's care who can step in. You're not left scrambling for coverage or canceling care. We give you notice as early as possible and make sure the substitute caregiver knows your parent's tremor patterns, medication schedule, and any recent changes. Your parent's routine stays as consistent as we can make it.
