Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built around the specific challenges Parkinson’s disease brings: tremors that make daily tasks harder, falls that happen faster than you’d expect, mobility that declines in ways you can’t always predict, and medication schedules that matter deeply. We’re here to help your parent stay safe and independent at home, and to help you stop holding your breath.
Day-to-day, this means we help with medication management so nothing gets missed, we’re present during high-risk times like getting in and out of bed or the shower, we monitor for falls and know how to respond, we help with meals and personal care, and we watch for the small changes that tell you something’s shifting. We’re not replacing what you do as family. We’re the steady presence that lets your parent stay home and lets you actually sleep at night.
If your parent was recently discharged from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital or is being evaluated there, we work closely with their care team and understand the transition home. Our caregivers are trained specifically in Parkinson’s Care because we were founded by nurses who’ve walked through this themselves. That means we see the whole picture, not just the tasks.
Our founder is a nurse who has managed Parkinson’s care in homes and hospitals. We’re not learning as we go. We know tremors, falls, medication timing, and the way mobility decline changes week to week. We know what questions to ask and what to watch for.
We don’t just assign a caregiver and hope for the best. We listen to what your parent needs, we match based on experience and fit, and we spend time making sure your caregiver knows the specifics of your parent’s Parkinson’s Care before day one.
Parkinson’s is unpredictable. If your parent has a harder day, or your caregiver gets sick, or you notice something new, you can reach us. We don’t disappear on weekends or after hours.
We know North Stonington and the towns around it. We’re familiar with Lawrence + Memorial Hospital’s discharge process and the doctors and nurses there. We can pick up where the hospital leaves off without anyone having to explain everything twice.

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
It depends on your parent's needs, but typically includes making sure medications are taken on time and the way the doctor prescribed them, helping with personal care like bathing and dressing when tremors make it harder, assisting with mobility and balance to prevent falls, preparing meals and helping with eating if needed, and keeping an eye on how your parent is moving and thinking day-to-day. Our caregiver is also there to listen and keep your parent engaged, which matters as much as the physical help.
We can often arrange a caregiver within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on the specific needs and caregiver availability in North Stonington. If you're planning ahead and know your parent will need care after hospitalization, we recommend calling us before discharge so we can line things up. The faster we start, the safer that transition home becomes.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you cover the cost directly. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover in-home support for Parkinson's management unless it's ordered as skilled nursing care during a specific recovery window. We can help you understand what might be covered under your parent's plan, but we're transparent that ongoing Parkinson's Care is typically an out-of-pocket investment.
A home health aide provides personal care and assistance with daily tasks. Parkinson's Care is more specialized, which means our caregivers understand the specific challenges of Parkinson's disease, not just general aging. We know how to help with tremors, how to prevent and respond to falls, how to manage complex medication schedules, and how to recognize when something is changing. The training is deeper and more focused.
Yes. We listen to what your parent needs, any preferences they have, and what matters to your family. We then match based on experience and personality fit rather than just availability. We want your parent and their caregiver to work well together because that makes everything easier and safer.
We have a network of trained caregivers in North Stonington and nearby areas so we can cover absences whenever possible. We let you know in advance if we know about a change, and we don't leave your parent without support. If there's ever a situation we can't fill immediately, we talk to you about it and problem-solve together.
