Your sister called after Thanksgiving dinner, worried. She’d noticed your mom’s hands shaking worse than last year, and the walk to the mailbox at the end of Ledyard Road took twice as long.

Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support for your parent living at home while managing Parkinson’s disease. We help with the tremors that make buttoning shirts harder, the stiffness that slows mornings down, the medication schedule that has to stay exact, and the falls that happen when balance shifts. We’re there to keep your parent safe, independent, and living in their own home as long as possible.
On any given day, our caregivers help with dressing, bathing, meal prep, and making sure medications go in on time. They notice when your parent’s gait has changed or when they’re moving slower than usual. They sit with your parent during appointments, help around the kitchen, and stay alert for the small changes that matter. If a fall happens, we know what to do. If a medication gets missed, we catch it.
If your parent just came home from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital or was recently diagnosed, we step in and handle the daily work so you don’t have to guess if everything’s being done right. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand what Parkinson’s actually demands, not just what it looks like from the outside. We know tremors don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Our founder built this agency after managing her own parent’s Parkinson’s at home. We know tremors, we know falls, we know medication timing. We’re not learning on your parent’s time. Every caregiver we send has been trained in what Parkinson’s actually means for daily living.
We spend real time understanding your parent’s personality, their routine, and what matters most. Then we match them with a caregiver who gets it. You’re not getting someone generic on day one. You’re getting someone who fits.
Parkinson’s changes. Some days are better, some days are harder. You can reach us when things shift, when you have a question, when your gut tells you something’s off. We adjust. We listen. We’re here.
We know Ledyard, Groton, Stonington, and the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital discharge process. We coordinate with your parent’s doctors, we know the local hospital routines, and we’re already part of your community.

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
We help with personal care like bathing and dressing. We manage medication schedules and watch for side effects. We support mobility, help prevent falls, and assist with meals and light housekeeping. We're also there for the in-between moments, making sure your parent has company and someone watching for changes. If your parent needs to get to a doctor's appointment, we help with that too.
If you call us before discharge, we can have care in place the day your parent comes home. We coordinate with the hospital's discharge team and get up to speed on any new medications or restrictions right away. If you need to start within days, we make that happen. We know the urgency when someone's just been discharged.
We're private pay, which means you're not waiting for approvals or fighting with insurance companies. Your costs are clear and straightforward. Some families use long-term care insurance, health savings accounts, or out-of-pocket funds. We can talk through the numbers and help you understand what Parkinson's Care will cost for your parent's situation.
Home health aides typically come after a doctor prescribes skilled nursing care, and insurance covers the visits. Parkinson's Care is what you arrange when your parent needs consistent, ongoing support but doesn't qualify for or need skilled nursing. We're flexible, we're specialized in Parkinson's, and we're available for however many hours you need, whenever you need them.
Yes. We learn about your parent's routines, preferences, and personality first. Then we find someone who fits, not just someone who's available. We care about the match because we know it changes everything. If it's not working, we adjust. We're not handing you a schedule and moving on.
We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's routine and Parkinson's Care needs. We don't leave you scrambling. We communicate early if something's coming up, and we make sure whoever steps in knows exactly what your parent needs. Continuity matters when Parkinson's is involved, and we take that seriously.
