You noticed it first at Thanksgiving dinner, the way your mother’s hand shook as she lifted her coffee cup at the kitchen table on Maple Street. The neurologist’s appointment last month had confirmed what you already felt: Parkinson’s, and it’s changing how she moves through her own home. You’re not alone, and there’s a way forward that lets her stay where she wants to be.

Parkinson’s Care is ongoing support for your parent at home, focused on the things the disease makes harder: managing tremors, preventing falls, helping with medication schedules, and keeping mobility as steady as possible. We’re with you through the specific rhythms and challenges Parkinson’s creates, not just on paper but in real time.
On a typical day, we help your parent move safely around the house, remind them when and what to take, catch them before a fall happens, and notice when something’s changed that needs attention. We’re there for the quiet moments, the 3 a.m. restlessness, the days when fatigue wins, and the mornings when they’re determined to do more. We document everything and stay in touch with you so you’re never wondering what’s happening at home.
Many families come to us after a stay at Day Kimball Hospital, when discharge planning makes it clear your parent needs more than a visiting nurse once a week. We were founded by a nurse who spent years in situations exactly like this, which means we know the medical side and the emotional weight of keeping someone you love safe at home. We’re local to Windham County and work closely with Day Kimball’s care teams so your parent’s transition home is real support, not a gap.
Our founder is a nurse who’s seen tremors, falls, mobility decline, and medication confusion up close. That’s not training we forgot, it’s the reason we exist. We know what to watch for, how to move with someone safely, and when something small is actually important.
We don’t just assign someone and disappear. We talk with your family first, understand what your parent needs and what personality fit matters, then we match a caregiver with real Parkinson’s experience. We brief them fully on your parent’s routines, preferences, and what triggers a good day versus a hard one.
Parkinson’s changes week to week. When something shifts, you need someone who actually picks up the phone and listens, not a voicemail system. We adjust care as your parent’s needs shift, and we’re here when you need to talk through what you’re seeing.
We know Killingly, Putnam, Thompson, Plainfield, and Sterling. We understand Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process and we work with their care coordinators so your parent’s first week home is supported, not abandoned. Being local means we show up faster and we understand what matters here.

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 your parent take medications on time, move safely around the house, and manage activities like bathing or eating when tremors or stiffness make them harder. We watch for falls and signs that something's changed medically. We're there for companionship, to prompt them to get up and move if that helps, and to document what we see so you and their doctor know what's really happening. Some days that looks like helping them get dressed, other days it's sitting with them through a difficult hour.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us as soon as you know you'll need support. We work directly with Day Kimball's discharge planners to get records and understand your parent's current medications and any precautions. If you're already home and realizing you need help, call us anyway, we can usually move fast. The faster we start, the safer those first weeks at home feel.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. We know that's a real conversation to have with your family. What we offer in return is flexibility, continuity, and caregivers who actually understand Parkinson's in a way that home health aides often don't. We can work with you on frequency and hours to fit your budget and your parent's needs.
A home health aide is often sent by an agency without specific Parkinson's training and visits for a set number of hours per week on a schedule. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support from someone trained in the disease itself, who knows what tremors look like, how to prevent falls, and how to move with someone safely. We're more flexible with timing, we know your parent as a person, and we stay accountable to you in a different way. If your parent needs help managing medication timing or noticing early signs of a fall, that's where we come in.
Yes. We ask you about your parent's personality, what times of day are hardest, whether they prefer someone quiet or talkative, and what Parkinson's symptoms are most challenging. We then match a caregiver who has experience with those specific needs and a personality that fits. We introduce you first and make sure everyone feels right about it. If the match doesn't work after a trial period, we'll adjust.
We have backup coverage trained and ready. We don't cancel care because someone is sick or has an emergency. We'll call you as early as possible if there's a change, but the care still happens. Your parent won't be left waiting or uncertain. We treat continuity like it matters, because it does.
