Your mom’s hand started shaking worse at your sister’s place near the Franklin town green last month. Then came the fall in the kitchen, the missed doses because the pill organizer got confusing, the way she gripped the armrest just to stand. You realized you couldn’t keep managing this alone from out of state, and you needed someone who actually understood Parkinson’s to help her stay home.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is home support built around the real challenges your parent faces every day. We’re talking about someone in your home who watches for falls, reminds about medications on time, helps with the tremors that make everyday tasks harder, and keeps track of how mobility is changing week to week. It’s not about medical procedures. It’s about your parent staying safe, staying on schedule, and staying in the home they know.
On any given day, this might look like helping your parent get dressed without rushing, making sure they take their medications exactly when they should, walking with them to prevent falls, or just being present during the parts of the day when Parkinson’s symptoms tend to flare up. We notice what’s working and what isn’t. We spot the small changes early. We give you a clear picture of how your parent is actually doing.
If your parent was recently discharged from William W. Backus Hospital or is working with their neurologist to manage Parkinson’s at home, we know how to step in and take it from there. Our founder was a nurse, which means we understand the medical side, but we also know what it actually feels like to care for someone with this condition. We’re not just hired help. We’re trained to handle the specifics of what Parkinson’s demands.
Our founder spent years watching what families really need when Parkinson’s moves into the home. We understand tremors, falls, the way mobility declines in fits and starts, the medication schedule that can’t slip. We’re not learning on the job. We’ve been there.
You don’t get a rotation of unfamiliar faces. We listen to what your parent needs, match someone thoughtfully, and make sure they’re fully briefed on your parent’s habits, preferences, and Parkinson’s patterns before day one. Consistency matters when you’re managing tremors and fall risk.
Parkinson’s is unpredictable. If something shifts, you can reach us. If your regular caregiver gets sick, we find coverage fast. If your parent’s medication changes, we adjust our focus. You’re not calling into a call center. You’re talking to people who know your situation.
We know Franklin, Norwich, Bozrah, Lebanon, Sprague. We’ve coordinated care with William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge planning. We understand the local neurologists, pharmacies, and what your parent might need in the days right after leaving the hospital. We’re not trying to learn the region on your timeline.

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
A typical day with our caregiver might include helping your parent with morning routines at a time that works with their energy levels, reminding about medications and staying with them to make sure doses are taken correctly, walking together to reduce fall risk and keep mobility steady, preparing meals or helping with eating if tremors make it difficult, and watching for signs that symptoms are getting worse. We're also listening, noticing patterns, and reporting back to you about what's working and what might need adjustment with their care team.
We can often start within days of discharge if you reach out before your parent leaves the hospital. We work with the hospital's discharge team to get the information we need about your parent's current condition, medications, and any specific instructions from their doctor. Once you confirm, we match a caregiver, brief them on your parent's Parkinson's specifics, and schedule the start date that makes sense for your family. The faster you call, the faster we can be ready.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying out of pocket rather than through Medicare or insurance. This actually gives you more control and flexibility around scheduling and caregiver matching. Many families also check their long-term care insurance or ask their CPA about tax deductions for home care expenses. We're happy to talk through the financial side and help you understand what the investment looks like for your parent's specific needs.
A home health aide typically comes after a doctor's order, usually for medical recovery from a hospital stay or injury, and is often covered by Medicare. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support tailored to the way Parkinson's actually changes your parent's daily life. It's about tremors, falls, medication schedules, and mobility decline, not just recovery from an acute event. We're focused on helping your parent stay stable and independent at home for as long as possible, not on a discharge date.
Yes. We listen to what matters most to your family. Does your parent do better with someone quiet and calm, or someone more talkative? Are there particular times of day when Parkinson's symptoms flare up that need a more experienced presence? Do they have mobility or tremor challenges that require specific strength or patience? We match thoughtfully, then we brief the caregiver thoroughly before they ever walk through your door. You're not rolling the dice.
We find coverage. If your caregiver gets sick or has an emergency, we don't leave you scrambling. We have backup support in the Franklin and New London County area, and we make sure substitutes are briefed on your parent's Parkinson's patterns and needs. It's not perfect, but it's reliable, and your parent stays supported. You can count on us to solve it, not just tell you it's your problem.
