Parkinson’s Care is ongoing support for your parent living at home while managing Parkinson’s disease. We’re here to help with the tremors, the medication schedules that slip, the falls that happen when balance gets unpredictable, and the mobility challenges that change week to week. It’s not medical nursing, it’s the person in your parent’s corner who knows what to watch for and how to keep them safe.
On most days, this means helping your parent take medications on time, being alert to falls and mobility decline, assisting with movement around the house, and keeping you informed about what’s actually happening. We notice the small changes, the ones that matter, because we’ve sat with families through this before. You get someone who shows up, stays present, and reports honestly about how your parent is managing.
If your parent was recently discharged from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, we work closely with their discharge plan and coordinate with local providers. Our caregivers are nurse-founded and trained, which means we understand Parkinson’s from both the clinical side and the real-life side, how tremors affect daily routines and how a single fall changes everything.
We started this agency because we’ve been there, managing tremors and fall risks and medication schedules for parents we love. That background means we spot the early signs of decline and we know what actually helps versus what sounds good on paper. Your parent gets someone who understands the weight of this.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We brief caregivers on your parent’s specific tremors, their mobility patterns, their medication routine, and what matters most to them. Then we check in, adjust when needed, and build real consistency so your parent isn’t re-explaining everything every week.
Parkinson’s shifts. A new symptom appears, a fall happens, a medication adjustment hits differently. You can reach us, tell us what’s happening, and we problem-solve together. You’re not calling a 1-800 number or waiting for a callback from out of state.
We know Lyme and the towns around it, Old Lyme, East Haddam, East Lyme, Haddam. We understand the discharge process from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital and we coordinate smoothly with their care teams. Being local means we know your parent’s community and we show up fast when you need us.

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.

Common questions
A caregiver comes to your parent's home at scheduled times, helps them take medications at the right times, assists with mobility and movement, watches carefully for falls or tremor changes, and reports back to you about how things are going. Some days it's checking in and ensuring safety, other days it's helping with bathroom routines or meal prep. We're flexible because Parkinson's is unpredictable, and we stay alert to what's shifting.
We can start the same week, often within a few days of discharge if you reach out early. We collect your parent's medical history, medication list, and discharge instructions from Lawrence + Memorial, then match a caregiver and brief them thoroughly. The faster you call, the faster we can have someone helping, which matters most right after leaving the hospital when everything feels uncertain.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying out of pocket rather than billing insurance. We're honest about that upfront because we want you to know the full picture before we move forward. Some families use long-term care insurance or set aside savings for this. We can talk through the costs and what frequency makes sense for your situation.
A home health aide can help with basic personal care and daily tasks. Parkinson's Care is built specifically around Parkinson's disease, which means our caregivers understand tremor patterns, fall prevention, medication timing, and mobility decline in ways that matter for this diagnosis. We know what to watch for, what questions to ask, and when a change needs your attention. The training and focus are different.
Yes, absolutely. We ask detailed questions about your parent's tremor patterns, mobility challenges, medication schedule, personality, and what makes them feel safe and respected. Then we match a caregiver who has experience with Parkinson's and fits your parent's needs and preferences. We brief that caregiver thoroughly so they're ready from day one.
We have backup caregivers ready, and we notify you as soon as we know someone won't be available. We work to get a familiar backup to your parent, someone who knows their routine and their needs. We don't leave you hanging, and we don't send someone unprepared. If your parent has preferences about who covers, we listen and work with that.
