Parkinson’s Care is about understanding the real challenges your parent faces every day. We’re talking about the tremors that make buttoning a shirt harder, the balance issues that turn stairs into a risk, the strict medication schedule that can’t be missed, and the isolation that comes when your parent stops doing the things they love.
On any given day, our caregivers help with the basics: medication reminders so nothing gets skipped, steady hands during transfers and walking, meal prep that accounts for swallowing changes, and the kind of presence that lets your parent feel safer at home. We also watch for falls, track changes you need to know about, and respect the routines that keep life feeling normal.
After a stay at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital or a diagnosis confirmation, New Hartford families often find themselves asking, what’s next? We’re here for that transition. Our caregivers are trained by a nurse founder who’s worked in neurology, which means we understand Parkinson’s from the inside out, not just as a list of tasks.
Our founder has worked in neurology long enough to see what actually helps and what doesn’t. We don’t treat tremors and falls like any other home care job. We match caregivers who understand medication timing, balance risk, and the emotional toll of losing independence.
We spend time learning what your parent’s day looks like before we send anyone in. Is she a morning person who needs help with tremors before breakfast? Does he need steadying during bathroom transfers? We listen first, match second, and adjust as Parkinson’s changes.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. A medication side effect shows up. A fall happens. We stay available to talk through what you’re seeing and adjust care before a small problem becomes a crisis.
We know the discharge process at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital. We work with doctors in town. We understand the roads, the neighborhoods, and the families who’ve been here for years.

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

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 might look like: a caregiver checking in mid-morning to help with medications and breakfast, steadying your parent during a shower or walk, preparing lunch that accounts for any swallowing changes, and staying alert for tremors or balance issues. We also note anything that's changed so you're informed. Every day is different depending on your parent's needs and how Parkinson's is showing up that week.
We can usually start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if the need is clear. We work closely with the hospital's discharge planners in New Hartford and the surrounding area. The faster your parent gets support at home, the safer the transition is. If you're discharged on a Friday or weekend, we'll help you bridge that gap.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're not waiting for approvals or fighting coverage denials. That also means we can be flexible, customize your hours, and focus entirely on what your family needs instead of what insurance dictates. We can discuss rates and frequency during your initial call.
Home health aides are typically sent by agencies after a doctor orders skilled care, and they follow a medical plan with set visits. Parkinson's Care is different: we're here because you need stability and understanding for a chronic condition your parent is managing at home. We're flexible, responsive, and we match caregivers who actually understand Parkinson's, not just general home care.
Yes. That's how we work. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their day, their fears, and their good days versus hard days. We ask about medication timing, mobility challenges, and what matters most to them. Then we find someone who fits. It's not a generic service; it's a person matched to your parent.
We maintain a backup so your parent isn't left without support. We communicate the plan in advance whenever possible so there's no surprise. If an emergency absence happens, we work quickly to get a trained replacement in. Your parent's safety and routine come first.
