You got the call from your sister after she visited on Thanksgiving, worried about the tremor in your dad’s hand and how slowly he’s moving around the house on Main Street. A week later, he missed his morning medications because the bottles confused him, and you realized this isn’t something you can manage from a distance anymore. Parkinson’s needs someone there, watching, knowing what to do when the shaking gets worse or he’s afraid to stand up.

Parkinson’s Care means having someone in your parent’s home who understands tremors, medication timing, fall risk, and the specific ways Parkinson’s changes how a person moves and thinks. We’re not here to replace what family does, we’re here to handle the medical and safety parts so you can stay their child instead of becoming their full-time nurse.
On any given day, this looks like reminding your parent when to take medications (and watching to make sure they actually take them), helping them stand up safely or walk to the bathroom, noticing if a fall has happened and knowing what to check, and keeping an eye on mood changes or new stiffness. We also help with meals when appetite shifts, light housekeeping so tripping hazards don’t pile up, and staying alert to the small changes that mean a doctor visit is coming.
Families in Marlborough often reach out after a hospital stay, sometimes after a discharge from Hartford Hospital where doctors said home care would help prevent another fall or missed dose. Because we’re nurse-founded, we know what questions to ask and what to watch for, not just what tasks to complete. That background means you get someone who can spot trouble before it becomes an emergency.
We started this because our founder lived through Parkinson’s with a parent and saw the gaps in home care. That means we don’t just show up and follow a checklist. We know tremors aren’t just a shaking hand, medication schedules aren’t simple, and falls aren’t just about grabbing a rail.
We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific situation, tremors, mobility limits, and medication routine before they ever walk through your door. Then we keep matching them with your parent so they learn patterns and your parent isn’t starting over with someone new every week.
Parkinson’s changes week to week sometimes. When you notice your parent is having more falls, or the medication timing needs to shift, or you’re worried about something new, you reach us and we adjust the care plan. You’re not calling a corporate number and waiting for a callback.
We know Marlborough neighborhoods and we know the discharge process from Hartford Hospital. That means faster starts after a hospital stay and caregivers who understand your local doctors and the systems your parent already uses.

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
It starts with medication management, making sure your parent takes the right dose at the right time and watching for side effects. We help with mobility, which might mean standing nearby during transfers, helping with balance, or noticing if your parent's stiffness is worse than yesterday. We watch for falls and know what to do if one happens. We also help with meals, light household tasks to prevent tripping, and staying alert to mood or cognitive changes that might mean a doctor needs to know.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us while your parent is still in the hospital. That gives us time to get the medical background, meet your parent, and have a caregiver matched and ready. We work with Hartford Hospital's discharge team so there are no gaps in care on the day your parent comes home.
Parkinson's Care through us is private pay, which means you pay out of pocket. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and some use personal funds or family help. We're transparent about costs upfront so there are no surprises. If your parent qualifies for Medicaid waiver services, we can discuss that separately, but our standard model is private pay.
Home health aides come through medical agencies after a doctor orders them, usually short-term after a hospital stay or illness. Parkinson's Care is ongoing private pay care designed around the specific needs of someone living with Parkinson's at home. We're not limited by insurance authorizations or visit caps, so we can adjust frequency and stay matched with your parent for the long term. We also hire and train specifically for Parkinson's understanding, not general home care.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's tremors, mobility, medications, personality, and what matters most to your family. Then we match a specific caregiver and we invest in keeping that match stable so your parent isn't reorienting to someone new. If something isn't working after the first week or two, we address it and adjust.
We keep backup coverage in place for Parkinson's Care so your parent isn't without support if illness or an emergency takes your regular caregiver off the schedule. We coordinate backups with you in advance so your parent knows what to expect. In a pinch, we call in a caregiver familiar with Parkinson's rather than sending someone who has no context.
