Your mom used to walk to Groton Public Library on Mondays. Last week, she called you from the living room saying her legs wouldn’t cooperate, and you realized she hasn’t made that walk in months. The tremors are worse, the falls scare you both, and keeping track of her medication schedule while working full time feels impossible. We know this exact moment, because we’ve been called into it hundreds of times in Groton homes.

Parkinson’s Care is nursing-trained support for someone with Parkinson’s living at home. We’re not here to cure anything. We’re here to help your parent stay as independent and safe as possible while managing the specific challenges that come with the disease, day after day.
On a typical day, this might look like helping with tremor management and the physical safety around falls. We organize medication schedules so nothing gets skipped. We notice when mobility is declining and help adjust the home. We stay aware of your parent’s mood, because Parkinson’s affects more than movement. We’re present and alert, not just checking boxes.
Many families in Groton connect with us right after Lawrence and Memorial Hospital discharge, when a parent comes home and needs someone who understands the specific rhythms of Parkinson’s care. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to read what’s actually happening beneath the surface, catch small changes before they become crises, and speak the language of both medicine and human reality.
Our founder built this agency because she lived it as a nurse and then as a daughter. When your parent has tremors at breakfast or a near-fall in the hallway, we know what to watch for and how to keep them safe without making them feel watched. We speak the language of medication schedules, mobility decline, and the specific exhaustion that comes with this disease.
We don’t assign caregivers randomly. We brief them fully on your parent’s Parkinson’s history, their triggers, their preferences, and the exact shape of your family’s routine. When a match is working, we keep it working. We know that consistency and experience matter more in Parkinson’s care than they do in almost any other situation.
Parkinson’s doesn’t stay the same week to week. When you notice your parent’s tremor is worse or they’re having more falls, you need someone who picks up the phone and understands immediately. We’re here, and we adjust. That’s not a promise. That’s how we run.
We’re local to New London County and we work regularly with Lawrence and Memorial Hospital’s discharge planning team. When your parent comes home from their facility, we understand the paperwork, the timeline, and the specific medical needs they’re sending home with. We’re not starting from zero.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Parkinson’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

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
You might have a caregiver arrive in the morning to help with medication timing, to make sure nothing gets skipped or doubled. They'll be there during transfers, ready if a tremor makes movement harder. They notice if your parent's mood has shifted, if they're eating enough, if they're moving less than usual. They help with personal care if needed, they keep the home safe from fall hazards, and they're present and awake to the specific needs of someone with Parkinson's. It's not medical nursing. It's the skilled, attentive presence that makes it possible for your parent to stay home.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on your schedule and ours. We work directly with the hospital's discharge team to get the medical information, medication list, and care notes before your parent comes home. That prep work means our caregiver can step in immediately with the right understanding of what your parent needs. We've done this many times with Lawrence and Memorial Hospital families, and we know how to move quickly without cutting corners.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover skilled nursing or rehabilitation immediately after a hospital stay, but ongoing in-home support for someone managing Parkinson's at home falls outside those benefits. We work with families on rates and schedules that fit their situation. Some families use long-term care insurance, some build this into their budget, and some of us help you think through the real cost of the alternatives, like assisted living or facility care.
A home health aide is typically assigned by a hospital or medical agency post-discharge, for a limited time, with a specific medical focus. Parkinson's Care is ongoing, relationship-based support from someone trained in the specific physical and emotional terrain of Parkinson's disease. Our caregivers understand tremors, falls, medication timing, and the cognitive and mood shifts that come with the disease. We're built for the long game, not just the discharge window. We also stay matched, meaning your parent gets the same person, building trust and continuity.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, their Parkinson's symptoms, how they like to be spoken to, and what matters to your family. We then match them with a caregiver who has experience with those specific challenges and who fits the dynamic your family needs. We cover all areas of Groton, from downtown near City Hall to the quieter neighborhoods on the outer edges. If the match isn't working after the first week, we adjust. Your parent shouldn't have to work at getting comfortable with their caregiver.
We have trained backup caregivers familiar with Parkinson's Care and briefed on your parent's specific needs. We don't leave you scrambling. When your primary caregiver is sick or unavailable, we fill the gap with someone who knows the drill and knows your parent's situation. We believe consistency is crucial, but we also know life happens. We plan for it.
