Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built around the real changes your parent is facing. We’re here to help manage tremors that make everyday tasks harder, reduce fall risk in the home, support mobility that’s declining, and make sure medications are taken on schedule. It’s about keeping your parent safe and as independent as possible while they stay home.
On a typical day, a caregiver might help with morning routines, medication reminders, light meal prep, gentle movement to keep strength up, and just being present to catch falls before they happen. We watch for signs that things are shifting, we listen when your parent has a rough morning, and we adjust. Parkinson’s doesn’t move in a straight line, and neither do we.
Many New London families know the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital discharge process, and we work closely with that team to understand what your parent needs when they come home. Our caregivers are nurse-founded trained, which means we don’t just show up, we actually understand the medical side of what Parkinson’s does to the body and how to respond when something changes.
We started this agency because we’ve seen what happens when caregivers don’t understand tremors, falls, and the medication timing that keeps things stable. Our team knows the signs that your parent’s mobility is slipping, and we know how to move with someone who’s struggling to move themselves.
We don’t rush the matching process. We listen to what your parent needs, who they feel comfortable with, and what their day actually looks like. Then we find someone who gets it, brief them fully, and check in regularly to make sure it’s working.
Parkinson’s Care isn’t a schedule that never bends. When you notice something’s off or your parent has a fall we didn’t catch, you can reach us. We adjust. We listen. We’re not distant.
We know Groton, Waterford, East Lyme, and Norwich. We know the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital team and how they transition patients home. We’re not a national service working from a call center, we’re here.

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 arrives at a time that works for your family and helps with medication reminders, morning routines, light meals, and staying safe around the house. We watch for tremors that are worse than usual, help with movement and stretching, and catch falls before they happen. We also help your parent stay connected, whether that's a phone call to family or just someone present while they're having a harder moment. The day changes based on how your parent is doing.
We can often start within a few days of discharge, sometimes the same week if your parent needs immediate support. We work directly with the hospital team to understand what was prescribed, what medications your parent is on, and what the doctors flagged as concerning. We'll have a full conversation with you first, then we match a caregiver and brief them completely before that first visit.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're paying directly rather than through insurance. We're transparent about costs and can talk through what makes sense for your family's budget. Some people use long-term care insurance if they have it, but we don't bill Medicare or other insurance directly.
A home health aide typically comes after a hospital referral and is covered by Medicare for a limited time, focused on recovery from an illness or surgery. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support for someone managing a chronic condition at home, and we stay as long as your parent needs us. We're not time-limited or diagnosis-limited, and we specialize in what Parkinson's actually does to daily life.
Yes, absolutely. We listen to your parent's personality, what times work best, whether they prefer a man or woman, and what their actual day looks like. Then we find someone from our team who matches those needs and has real experience with Parkinson's. We don't just send whoever is available next.
We have backup caregivers familiar with your parent and their routine, so we can find someone quickly. We won't leave you without support, and we always let you know if there's any change to the plan. Your parent's safety and consistency come first.
