Parkinson’s Care means we’re in your parent’s home, helping with the real daily challenges that come with the disease. We’re watching for tremors that make tasks harder, helping prevent falls, supporting them as mobility changes, and making sure medications get taken on schedule. We’re there so your parent can stay home, not to replace them as a person, but to steady the things that Parkinson’s makes unpredictable.
On any given day, this looks like helping your parent get ready in the morning when stiffness is worst, checking in on medications at the right times, walking alongside them to prevent falls, and being present during the afternoon hours when fatigue sets in. We also track what’s working and what’s changing, so you and their doctor have real information. We keep notes, we notice patterns, we’re an extra set of eyes and hands.
Many families in Cornwall and the surrounding areas come to us after their parent has been discharged from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or after their own doctor has said, ‘You need backup.’ We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what medication timing actually matters, how to spot the early signs of a fall, and what questions to ask. That background changes how we listen and what we catch.
Our founder trained in hospitals and homes, so we know tremors, falls, and medication schedules aren’t just logistical problems. We understand what your parent is experiencing and what you’re worried about at 2 a.m. That experience shapes how we hire and train.
We don’t assign someone random. We listen to your parent’s personality, their routine, what they need. Then we brief the caregiver fully and we stay involved, checking in and adjusting if something isn’t working. The match matters, and so does our follow-through.
Parkinson’s can shift week to week. When your parent’s tremors get worse, or they have a near-fall, or their medication seems off, you need someone who picks up the phone. We’re here, we listen, and we act.
We work with families throughout Sharon, Kent, Goshen, Litchfield, and across Cornwall. We know the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital discharge process, we know the local doctors, and we understand the specific challenges of rural home care in this region.

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
On a typical day, we help your parent with morning routines when stiffness is hardest, make sure medications are taken on time, help with meals and bathing as needed, and watch for signs of falls or tremor changes. We're also doing light tidying, preparing meals, and being a steady presence during the times you can't be there. We track everything and let you know what's happening.
We can often start within 24-48 hours if your parent is ready. We get copies of discharge papers, talk to you about what your parent needs, and match a caregiver who understands Parkinson's specifically. We've done this many times with families coming home from Charlotte Hungerford, so the process is smooth.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this type of support. What that means is you have full flexibility about hours, scheduling, and how your parent's care is structured. We can work with your budget and timeline.
Home health aides come through medical agencies with insurance billing and usually shorter visits. Parkinson's Care means we're choosing caregivers specifically trained in Parkinson's challenges, we're staying involved over time, and we have the flexibility to adjust quickly. You're also working with us directly, not through a medical billing system.
Absolutely. We listen to what your parent is like, what their routine is, whether they need someone calm and quiet or more talkative. We also consider what you need as the adult child. Then we find a caregiver who fits and we brief them thoroughly on your parent's Parkinson's, medications, and preferences.
We have backup. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we bring in someone we've already vetted and who knows your parent's situation. We don't leave you hanging. You'll hear from us in advance whenever possible, and we have a backup plan in place.
