Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support for your parent staying at home while managing the disease’s real challenges, tremors, falls, medication schedules, and the slow changes in how they move and think. We show up knowing what Parkinson’s actually looks like day to day, not just the textbook version.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with medication timing so nothing gets missed, assist with mobility when stiffness or balance issues appear, watch for falls before they happen, and keep your parent engaged and safe. We’re there during the hours you can’t be, noticing small changes that matter.
After discharge from William W. Backus Hospital or any care transition, families in Griswold and across New London County call us because we’re nurse-founded. That means our team speaks the language of medical complexity, not just kindness. We know how to brief a new caregiver, track what matters, and communicate clearly with doctors.
Our team is nurse-founded and trained specifically in Parkinson’s symptoms, medication side effects, fall patterns, and the mood and cognitive changes families often don’t see coming. We’re not learning on the job. We know tremors can spike with stress and how to adjust routines when your parent’s mobility shifts overnight.
We spend time understanding your parent’s personality, your family’s schedule, and what Parkinson’s Care looks like in your specific home. The caregiver we send isn’t just available; they’re matched to the job. We brief them fully and stay close as things change.
When your parent has a fall, misses a dose, or starts a new medication, you reach us directly, not an answering service. We adjust quickly and keep caregivers in the loop. You’re not alone managing surprises at midnight.
We work with William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge process and know the Griswold area, Plainfield, Sterling, Voluntown, and Lisbon inside out. We’re not a regional chain. We’re here, we respond fast, and we understand the community your parent lives in.

Common questions
It includes helping your parent take medications on schedule, assisting with movement and transfers when tremors or stiffness make it hard, watching for fall risk and helping prevent them, supporting personal care, meal prep, and light housework, and staying alert to mood or thinking changes that signal something's shifted. We're present, attentive, and trained to spot what matters.
We typically start within 24 to 48 hours of you calling, depending on your caregiver availability and your parent's specific needs. If you're being discharged soon, call us before you leave the hospital. We'll coordinate with the discharge team, get the medical history, and have someone ready when your parent gets home. Speed matters when medications and mobility are on the line.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you and your family cover the cost directly. This lets us customize care to your parent's real needs without insurance approval delays. We're transparent about rates and flexible on schedules. If your parent qualifies for other benefits like Medicaid waiver programs, we can work alongside those services too.
Home health aides provide basic personal care and are typically sent by agencies after a hospitalization, covered by Medicare or insurance for a limited time. Parkinson's Care is different because it's specialized, ongoing, and designed specifically for someone managing Parkinson's at home. Our caregivers are trained in the disease, how it progresses, medication interactions, and the subtle signs that something's wrong. You're not getting general care; you're getting Parkinson's expertise.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, what they need physically, whether they prefer morning or afternoon care, and what your family's biggest concern is (tremors, falls, medication, isolation). We then match a caregiver who fits that profile and brief them fully on your parent's history, routines, and what matters most. It takes time upfront, but it works.
We notify you immediately and send a backup caregiver from our team who knows your parent's care plan. We don't cancel visits or leave your parent unsupported. Your regular caregiver's notes are shared so the backup understands the routine, medications, recent changes, and any safety concerns. We stay flexible so you stay covered.
