Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support for your parent at home, focused on the things that change day to day. We help with tremors that make simple tasks harder, falls that come without warning, the slow decline in how your parent moves through the house, and the medication schedule that actually matters. We’re here so your parent can stay home instead of moving into a facility.
On a typical day, your caregiver might help with morning routines and medication timing, stay alert for balance issues during walking or reaching, remind about doses at the right times, and watch for the small signs that something’s shifting. You’ll get updates about how your parent’s moving, what they ate, whether they took their pills, and anything that needs your attention. We keep things simple and real.
East Haddam families often call us after a Middlesex Hospital discharge, when it’s clear home care needs to pick up where the hospital left off. Our caregivers are trained in Parkinson’s specifics, not just general aging support. Being nurse-founded means we actually understand what medication schedules mean, how falls happen, and why tremors complicate independence. That experience is baked into how we work.
Our caregivers understand tremors, falls, and mobility decline as Parkinson’s specific challenges, not just side effects of getting older. We’re trained to spot medication timing problems before they become crises. Being nurse-founded means we bring real medical understanding to your parent’s daily life at home.
We brief every caregiver on your parent’s needs, personality, and routines before day one. A good match is the difference between your parent trusting their caregiver and dreading the visit. We listen to what you’re seeing and what your parent responds to, then we match accordingly.
Parkinson’s is unpredictable. You might notice a new tremor pattern or a fall that wasn’t reported right away. When you call us, you get someone who understands the urgency and can adjust your caregiver’s approach or your parent’s schedule. You’re not on an island.
We know the discharge process at Middlesex Hospital and the specific ways East Haddam families transition home care. We’re not a big agency sending strangers. We’re local, we know the county, and we move quickly after hospital discharge.

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
A typical day includes helping with morning routines, reminding about medications at exact times, staying present during walking or transitions to watch for falls, preparing meals that work with tremors, and noting any changes in movement or mood. Your caregiver will report back on how your parent's doing, what they ate, whether medication went down on schedule, and anything that looks different. We're watching for the small shifts that add up.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge in most cases. We work with Middlesex Hospital's discharge team to get the full picture of your parent's status before arrival. Once you call, we brief your caregiver on all medications, fall precautions, and mobility specifics so your parent isn't adjusting to a stranger on day one. The faster we start, the sooner your parent feels stable at home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. We don't bill insurance, which means no waiting for approval and no limits on hours or duration. We know that sounds like a barrier, so we're honest about cost and flexible about starting part time if that helps. Many families find that avoiding institutional care pays for home caregiving quickly.
A home health aide is usually sent after a medical event or prescription, and insurance limits how long they stay. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support for someone living at home who needs stability and routine. Our caregivers are trained in Parkinson's specifics, not general aide tasks. We're here for as long as your parent needs support, not just until insurance says stop.
Yes, absolutely. We listen to what you're seeing, what your parent responds to, whether they prefer male or female caregivers, and what personality fit matters. We brief the caregiver fully before starting, so your parent isn't explaining Parkinson's to someone who doesn't get it. A good match is the whole game, and we take time to find it.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. If your usual caregiver can't make it, you get a call right away with a backup plan. We won't leave your parent without coverage, and we'll brief the backup on your parent's routine and medications. You deserve consistency and peace of mind.
