Parkinson’s Care is daily, in-home support for someone living with Parkinson’s disease. It means someone in your parent’s home to watch for tremors, steady them when balance fails, remind them when it’s time for medication, and call you when something changes. We’re not replacing your presence, we’re making sure there’s someone there on the hard days and the ordinary ones too.
On any given day, this looks like: helping your parent get washed and dressed, preparing meals at the right times, walking alongside them to prevent falls, organizing and confirming medications, documenting what you need to know, and staying alert to the small shifts in their condition. Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule, so neither does our attention. We watch for the tremors that get worse, the stiffness that slows everything down, the moments when balance becomes dangerous.
Hartland families often call us after a stay at Hartford Hospital or a scare at home that made the reality clear. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of Parkinson’s, not just the caregiving side. We know how to spot problems early, work alongside your parent’s doctor, and keep them safely at home for as long as that’s possible.
Being nurse-founded means we know tremors aren’t just shaking, that falls are never accidents, and that missing one medication dose can shift the whole day. We’ve managed Parkinson’s, seen what it does, and matched caregivers who get the weight of it.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We listen to what your parent needs, their personality, what frightens them, and which caregiver in our network has the experience and steadiness your situation requires. Then we stay in touch and adjust if something isn’t working.
When your parent falls at 2 a.m., or their medication seems off, or you’re worried but not sure why, we’re reachable. Parkinson’s Care doesn’t pause at 5 p.m., and neither do we.
We’re local to this area, we understand the discharge process from Hartford Hospital, and we’ve coordinated with the doctors your parent already sees. That familiarity matters when time is short and the stakes are high.

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
A typical day might include morning help with bathing and dressing, preparing breakfast and lunch at the right times, administering medications at scheduled intervals, walking with your parent or helping them move safely around the house, watching for tremors or stiffness that's worsening, preparing a light dinner, and documenting what happened so you know. We also keep an eye out for falls, confusion, or changes in their way that signal you should call their doctor. Every day is different with Parkinson's, so we stay flexible and alert.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of a hospital discharge, depending on which caregiver is the right fit for your parent and when they're available. We ask you to contact us as soon as you know the discharge is coming so we can line up that match ahead of time. That brief window between hospital and home is often when families feel most alone, and we want to be there fast.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying directly rather than billing insurance. That's different from skilled nursing, which insurance might cover after a hospital stay. We can discuss rates and frequency with you based on what your parent actually needs, and some families use long-term care insurance or personal funds. We're honest about cost from the start so there are no surprises.
A home health aide can help with bathing, dressing, and daily tasks, but often without the Parkinson's-specific training or medical background. Our caregivers know how to read tremors, spot medication side effects, prevent falls in someone with balance problems, and understand the disease itself. We're selected, trained, and matched specifically for Parkinson's, not just general home help.
Yes. We listen to what matters: your parent's personality, their fears, their routine, the specific tremors or mobility challenges they face, and what you need to feel confident. We then match them with a caregiver in our network who has Parkinson's experience and the right temperament. If it's not working after the first week or two, we make a change. One-size-fits-all doesn't work for Parkinson's Care.
We have backup caregivers trained in Parkinson's Care who step in if your regular person gets sick or has an emergency. We let you know as soon as we know, and we make sure the backup is familiar with your parent's specific needs before they arrive. You won't be left without care, and your parent won't meet a stranger in a crisis moment.
