Your sister visited for Thanksgiving and noticed your dad moving slower, gripping the kitchen counter at Harwinton’s town hall where he used to volunteer. You’d been managing his tremors and medication reminders alone, but that moment made it real. You need someone trained in Parkinson’s who understands what your family is facing and can be there when you can’t.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support for your parent living at home while managing the physical and daily challenges that come with the disease. We’re here to help with tremors, balance issues, mobility decline, and the medication schedules that keep everything stable. Our caregivers watch for falls, help with walking and transfers, and keep track of when medications are due so nothing gets missed.
On a typical day, you might have someone arriving to help your parent get ready, take their morning meds on time, work through gentle movement to keep mobility strong, and stick around to prepare a meal or help with afternoon tasks. We pay attention to the small things, too, the days when tremors are worse or balance feels shakier. We notice when something’s off and we let you know.
After a stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, transitioning home with Parkinson’s can feel overwhelming. We work with their discharge planners and pick up right where hospital care leaves off, making sure your parent settles back safely and their routine stays consistent. Because we’re nurse-founded, we understand the medical side of Parkinson’s Care, not just the practical help.
Our founder came from nursing and built this agency around what she knew families actually needed. We get tremors and falls and medication timing because we’ve managed those things ourselves. That training makes a real difference in how we spot changes and keep your parent safe at home.
We don’t just send anyone. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific needs, their Parkinson’s symptoms, their personality, what matters to them. Then we keep that same person coming, so your parent builds trust and routine stays solid.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If a fall happens or medication needs adjust or you need to shift hours, you reach us directly and we move. You’re not waiting on hold or talking to someone who doesn’t know your situation.
We know Harwinton, Torrington, Burlington, Litchfield, Thomaston. We know how Charlotte Hungerford Hospital handles discharge. We’re embedded in this community, which means we show up fast and we understand the local resources your family can tap into.

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.

Private Duty Aides is nurse-founded.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
We help with morning and evening routines, administering or reminding about medications at the right times, mobility support like walking and transfers, and meal prep if that's part of the plan. We watch for tremors or balance issues that might signal a problem, and we stay alert for falls or changes in how your parent is moving. If something feels different, we document it and let you know right away so you can talk to their doctor.
We can usually start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge. We coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge team to understand your parent's current medication list, any new mobility concerns, and what their baseline looked like before admission. That handoff matters because Parkinson's requires continuity, and we make sure nothing gets lost in the transition home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you pay out of pocket at our hourly rate. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this level of support unless your parent qualifies for home health nursing after a hospital stay, and even then, the coverage is limited. We're transparent about costs upfront and we can talk through what that looks like for your situation.
Home health aides are typically covered by insurance after hospitalization and focus on personal care and activities of daily living. Parkinson's Care is specialized support for someone living at home with Parkinson's, which means our caregivers understand tremors, medication timing, fall prevention, and mobility decline specific to the disease. We can work alongside home health if your parent has both, or we can be the primary support if insurance coverage ends.
Yes, that's exactly what we do. We talk with you about your parent's personality, their specific Parkinson's symptoms, what times of day are hardest, and what routines matter most to them. Then we carefully place someone who fits, and that caregiver stays with your family so your parent doesn't have a rotation of different people. We brief them thoroughly on medication schedules, mobility challenges, and what to watch for.
We maintain a backup network of trained caregivers in Harwinton and the surrounding towns so someone can step in if needed. We always give you a heads-up as soon as we know there's a change, and we try to use someone your parent has met before. We don't cancel or leave you hanging, and we keep care consistent even when life happens.
