Parkinson’s Care in Naugatuck, CT
In-home care for seniors living with Parkinson's disease — fall prevention, mobility support, and daily assistance.
No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your sister called you after the Tuesday doctor’s appointment at the medical building on Rubber Ave, the one your father has been going to for three years now. He hadn’t told anyone that he’d stumbled twice getting to the car, or that he’d missed two afternoon medications last week because his hands were shaking too much to open the bottle. He wasn’t hiding it on purpose. He just didn’t want to worry anyone. That call changed things, and you’re probably still figuring out what to do next.
Parkinson’s is not one steady condition. It shifts week to week, sometimes day to day, and the people who live with it at home in Naugatuck need support that actually keeps up with those changes. We’re a nurse-founded home care agency, and we work with families exactly like yours across New Haven County.
Parkinson’s Care at home means having someone there who understands how the disease moves through a day. Mornings are often the hardest, when stiffness is at its peak and the window between waking up and taking medication is narrow. A trained caregiver helps your parent get up safely, move through their morning routine without rushing, and take medications at the right time, in the right way, every single day.
Through the rest of the day, care covers mobility support, fall prevention, meal preparation, bathing and grooming assistance, and steady companionship that keeps your parent engaged and calm. For Naugatuck families whose parent has recently come home from Waterbury Hospital after a fall or a procedure, that post-discharge period is especially fragile. We’re familiar with the transition home from Waterbury Hospital and we can be in place quickly so nothing falls through the gap between discharge and stability.
Families across Naugatuck also count on us for help managing the emotional weight of Parkinson’s. Frustration, anxiety, and moments of confusion are part of the condition, and a caregiver who knows how to respond to those moments calmly makes a real difference. Because we’re nurse-founded, every caregiver we place is briefed on the specific symptoms, routines, and triggers that matter for your parent, not just the general picture of the disease.
Nurse-founded
Our agency was started by a working nurse who watched families dealing with tremors, falls, mobility decline, missed medications, and a parent still determined to stay home navigate a system that wasn’t built for their specific situation. She built this agency to fix that.
Specific to Parkinson’s
We don’t assign whoever is available and hope for the best. Caregivers placed for Parkinson’s are briefed on what to expect, how to respond to freezing episodes and rigidity, and how to support medication timing so your parent gets the benefit of every dose.
We stay reachable
When something changes with your parent’s Parkinson’s care, you shouldn’t have to leave a message and wait. You call us and someone answers. That’s not a promise we make lightly, it’s how we actually operate.
Local to Naugatuck
We know New Haven County, the neighborhoods in Naugatuck, and the discharge process at Waterbury Hospital. We’re not a national call center. The families we serve here are our neighbors.
How it works
Tell us what’s going on. No intake forms, no long questionnaires. We listen to your situation, ask a few honest questions, and figure out together what kind of support actually fits.
For Parkinson’s Care specifically, matching matters beyond availability. We consider the stage of the disease, your parent’s personality, their schedule, and the kind of physical and emotional support they need most right now.
For many Naugatuck families, especially those dealing with a recent fall or a hospital discharge, we can often start the same day. We don’t put urgency on hold because paperwork isn’t finished.
We stay in contact with you after care starts. When Parkinson’s changes, and it does, you won’t be left wondering whether your caregiver is equipped to handle it. You call us and we pick up.
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
A typical day starts with safe morning transfers, medication reminders timed to your parent's dosing schedule, and help with bathing, dressing, and breakfast. Through the day, a caregiver supports walking and movement, prepares meals, helps with any exercises prescribed by a physical therapist, and keeps your parent company in a calm, steady way. Evening support covers dinner, winding down, and getting to bed safely. The specific shape of the day is built around your parent's routine, not ours.
We can often have a caregiver in place the same day a family calls us, and typically within 48 hours in most situations. The period right after discharge from Waterbury Hospital is one of the riskiest stretches for someone with Parkinson's, and we know that. We don't ask you to wait a week while we process paperwork. Call us as soon as you know the discharge date and we'll work backward from there.
We're a private-pay agency, which means we don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance. Some long-term care insurance policies will reimburse for non-medical home care, so it's worth checking your parent's policy directly. We're upfront about our rates from the first conversation, and we don't have hidden fees or long-term contracts that lock you in.
A home health aide typically works under a medical order and focuses on specific clinical tasks for a limited number of hours per week. Our Parkinson's Care is non-medical but much broader in scope. We're there for as many hours as your parent needs, covering safety, daily routines, companionship, and medication reminders without requiring a doctor's prescription to authorize each visit. The two can complement each other, and we're happy to coordinate with any clinical providers already involved in your parent's care.
Yes, and we take that seriously. Parkinson's care works better when your parent is comfortable with the person helping them, especially because the care involves close physical assistance. We ask you to tell us about your parent as a person, not just their diagnosis, and we use that to make a thoughtful match. If the first fit isn't right, we'll adjust. You don't have to just accept whoever shows up.
We maintain backup coverage so your parent is never left without support because a caregiver called in sick. When a substitute is needed, we send someone who has been briefed on your parent's situation, not a stranger walking in cold. You'll hear from us before any change happens. Reliability is something we protect because we know how much it matters when someone's daily safety depends on who shows up.
