Your mom called you from the house on Bashan Road saying she’d missed her morning medication again, and this time she’d also fallen getting to the kitchen. You live forty minutes away.

Parkinson’s Care is about keeping your parent stable and safe in their own home while managing the specific challenges that come with the disease. We’re talking about the things that make Parkinson’s different from other aging situations: tracking medication schedules so doses don’t slip, staying alert for falls and helping prevent them, working with the tremors and mobility changes that happen throughout the day, and being there when your parent’s energy or steadiness shifts unexpectedly.
On a typical day, you’re looking at a caregiver who can help with personal care, remind your parent about medications at the right times, assist with light meals and hydration, help with mobility around the house, and keep an eye on how your parent is doing emotionally. We also stay connected to what your parent’s doctor has said and what Middlesex Hospital recommended if there’s been a recent stay. The goal is to keep things running smoothly enough that your parent doesn’t end up back in the hospital or in a facility.
We’re based right here in Middlesex County, and we know how the discharge process works at Middlesex Hospital. We’ve also been founded by a nurse who has lived inside these situations, so when we say we understand tremors, falls, medication timing, and keeping someone at home safely, we’re not speaking from a manual. We’re speaking from real experience.
We understand the specific way Parkinson’s moves through your parent’s day because a nurse built this service. We know what tremors look like at breakfast, what falls look like at 3 a.m., and why missing a medication can unravel everything else. That knowledge shapes how we train and match caregivers.
We don’t just send someone with home care experience. We brief them on your parent’s particular tremors, mobility patterns, and medication schedule. We match based on personality fit and steadiness, and we stay involved after the caregiver starts. Parkinson’s changes, and we adjust with it.
Parkinson’s doesn’t keep office hours. When your parent has a fall, a medication question, or a day where everything feels different, you need to reach someone who understands. We’re here and we respond quickly because we know how fast things can change.
We know Middlefield, Middletown, Durham, and Cromwell. We understand the Middlesex Hospital discharge process and the doctors in the area. We’re not parachuting in from somewhere else. We’re your neighbors, and we know what your parent needs.

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 home at the times you've arranged, helps your parent with personal care like bathing and dressing, makes sure medications are taken on schedule, helps with meals and getting around the house safely, and keeps a close eye on how your parent is moving and feeling. We also watch for signs of a fall, help prevent them, and report back to you about how the day went. If your parent has a doctor's appointment, the caregiver can help with that too. The specifics are built around what your parent actually needs, not a template.
We can often start within a few days, depending on your parent's discharge plan and what we need from the hospital. If you call us before discharge, we can coordinate directly with Middlesex Hospital so the caregiver knows exactly what the doctors recommended and how to keep things on track. We've done this many times, so we know how to move fast without cutting corners on getting the details right.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans won't cover it because it's not medical care in the way insurance defines it, even though it's absolutely essential to keeping your parent home and well. We can tell you exactly what the cost is upfront, no surprises. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal savings. We can also talk through what help might be available to you.
Home health aides are typically sent by an agency after a medical event and are covered by Medicare or insurance for a limited time. Parkinson's Care is private pay and ongoing, built specifically around your parent's Parkinson's and how it changes over time. We're not tied to a hospital discharge window, so we can stay as long as your parent needs us and adjust as the disease progresses. Home health aides are great for short-term medical recovery. We're here for the long game of keeping your parent at home safely.
Yes. We interview you first about your parent's tremors, mobility challenges, medication sensitivities, personality, and what a good day actually looks like. Then we match you with a caregiver who has real experience with Parkinson's and the right temperament for your parent. We also trial the match and make changes if it's not working. A good fit is everything, and we take the time to get it right.
We have backup caregivers who know your parent's situation and can step in. We don't just send a stranger. We coordinate so whoever is covering understands your parent's routine, medications, and what to watch for. If we can't fill a day, we let you know immediately and work with you on a solution. Reliability is not negotiable in Parkinson's Care.
