No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your parent called you from the house near the Mansfield Town Green, voice shaking a little more than last month, asking if you’d noticed the tremors getting worse. You remember the fall last week that they didn’t tell you about until your sister heard it from a neighbor. Now you’re trying to figure out how to keep them safe at home while you’re working two towns over, without moving them into a facility they don’t want to leave.

Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built specifically around the challenges your parent is facing right now. We’re talking about helping with the tremors that make everyday tasks harder, the falls that happen faster than you’d expect, the mobility decline that changes week to week, and the medication schedules that are easy to miss when you’re managing symptoms alone. We stay with your parent so they can stay home.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with morning routines when stiffness is worst, they watch for fall risks in familiar rooms, they remind about medications at the right time, and they keep an eye on how your parent is moving and thinking. We’re there for the doctor’s appointments, the walks that matter for keeping strength, the meals that actually get eaten, and the phone calls home that let you sleep at night knowing someone’s there.
Many Mansfield families come to us after a stay at UConn Health Center, when discharge instructions land and the real question is how to follow them at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we actually understand Parkinson’s progression and what your parent needs before crisis hits, not just after. That background helps us match the right caregiver and catch changes early.
Our founder is a nurse who spent years watching families navigate tremors, falls, and the confusion of medication timing. That experience shapes who we hire and how we train. We don’t guess at what your parent needs, we know what Parkinson’s actually does to daily life.
We listen to what matters most to your family: maybe your parent needs someone who understands the tremors in their hands, or who notices when mobility is declining faster. We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific situation and watch how the match is working, then adjust if needed.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. When your parent has a rough week or you need extra support, you reach us directly. No gatekeeping, no waiting through a call center. You talk to someone who knows your situation.
We know the discharge process at UConn Health Center, we know Mansfield neighborhoods and how to help your parent stay safe in familiar places, and we know the doctors and therapists your parent sees. That local knowledge matters when you’re coordinating care.

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

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: dressing, bathing, grooming when tremors make it risky. We manage medication reminders so doses don't get missed or doubled. We help with meals and make sure your parent is eating enough. We watch for falls and help with safe movement around the house. We're also there for appointments, grocery trips, and the small moments that keep life normal. What we don't do is provide skilled nursing, but we know when to call the doctor.
We can usually start within a few days of discharge if you contact us right away. We'll get your parent's medical information from UConn Health Center, review the discharge plan, and match a caregiver who understands what your parent needs post-discharge. If your parent is still in the hospital, we can set everything up so there's no gap when they get home. The faster you call, the faster we can be ready.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying out of pocket rather than through insurance. That's different from home health aide services that Medicare sometimes covers after a hospital stay. We tell families this upfront because we believe you deserve to know the cost before we match a caregiver. If you have questions about what Medicare might cover in your situation, we can talk through that too.
A home health aide is usually ordered by a doctor for a short time after hospitalization and is covered by Medicare. Parkinson's Care is what you arrange privately when your parent needs ongoing support at home, without a medical event that triggers insurance coverage. Our caregivers are trained specifically in Parkinson's challenges like tremors and fall prevention, and we're available long-term, not just for a few weeks post-discharge. We're built for the years your parent wants to stay home.
Yes, that's exactly how we work. We listen to what matters most: maybe your parent needs someone patient with tremors, or someone who's strong enough to help with mobility safely, or someone who understands the emotional side of Parkinson's. We interview caregivers carefully and place someone we think will be the right fit. We also check in regularly to make sure the match is working and adjust if something isn't right.
We have backup caregivers we can call in to cover shifts. We don't leave families stranded when someone gets sick or has an emergency. If we use a backup caregiver, we brief them on your parent's routine and needs so there's continuity. We let you know in advance when possible, and we keep your regular caregiver's schedule as consistent as we can so your parent isn't disrupted.
