Parkinson’s Care is the support your parent gets to stay in their own home while managing the real, daily challenges of Parkinson’s disease. We’re talking about someone who shows up knowing tremors aren’t just a shaking hand, that falls happen fast, that mobility gets harder, and that missing a medication at 2 p.m. changes the whole evening.
A typical day might include helping your parent move safely from bed to chair, reminding them when medication is due and sitting with them while they take it, noticing changes in their gait or balance before they become emergencies, and giving you peace of mind that someone is there who gets it. We also keep an eye on what they’re eating, whether they’re sleeping, and how their mood is tracking. You’ll know if something shifts.
Sharon Hospital discharges Parkinson’s patients to Kent regularly, and we work with that hospital’s care coordination team to make sure nothing gets dropped. Our founder is a registered nurse who spent years in bedside care, so when we talk about tremors or fall risk, we’re not reading from a script. We’ve lived the hard questions families ask.
Our founder spent her nursing career understanding how Parkinson’s changes everything, not just physically but in rhythm and routine. That means your parent gets someone who recognizes medication timing, fall patterns, and tremor cycles because she’s seen them hundreds of times. No guessing.
We take time to understand your parent’s specific Parkinson’s picture, then we match a caregiver who has worked with similar situations. Once they start, we brief them on everything that matters to your family. And we stay connected, adjusting if something isn’t working.
Parkinson’s moves fast sometimes. A new tremor, a fall, a medication change. You can call us, and we listen the same day. We’re not a call center. You’re talking to people who know your parent’s situation.
We know Kent, we know Sharon Hospital’s discharge process, we know the roads and the doctors and the pharmacies. When Sharon Hospital releases your parent home, we’re already part of the conversation, not learning as we go.

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
We help with the physical tasks that get harder with Parkinson's, like getting safely out of bed, showering, dressing, and moving around the home. We manage medication schedules because missing a dose or taking it at the wrong time changes everything. We watch for falls and tremor spikes, help with meals, and we stay alert to changes in mood, sleep, or swallowing. You'll get honest updates on what we're seeing.
We typically start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us before your parent leaves the hospital. We work directly with Sharon Hospital's care team to get the details we need. If you're calling after discharge, we move fast, but the earlier you reach out, the smoother the transition. We've had families set everything up during the discharge meeting.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying us directly. That also means no insurance paperwork, no waiting for approvals, and no limits on how we help. Some families use long-term care insurance or set aside funds specifically for this. We can talk through what that looks like for your situation.
Home health aides are trained for basic personal care and are usually sent by an agency after medical events. Parkinson's Care is different because our caregivers understand the disease itself, not just the person. We're watching tremor patterns, fall risk, medication timing, and mood changes that matter specifically to Parkinson's. We're also nurse-founded, so the whole setup is built around what Parkinson's families actually need.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's Parkinson's stage, what they're struggling with most, their personality, and what matters to them. Then we match a caregiver who has experience with those specific challenges and gets along with your parent. If it's not the right fit after the first week, we adjust. This isn't random assignment.
We maintain a backup team so your parent doesn't miss care. We notify you as soon as we know there's a change, and we send someone you know or we brief thoroughly. We don't leave you scrambling. For ongoing absences, we work to get back to your regular caregiver as quickly as possible, but we always have coverage in the meantime.
