Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is nursing support that stays in your home to help with the specific things Parkinson’s brings: tremors that make everyday tasks harder, falls that happen without warning, the slow decline in mobility that changes how your parent moves through the day, and the medication schedules that can’t be missed. We’re not replacing what you do as a family. We’re adding a nurse or trained caregiver who understands the disease and what your parent actually needs.
On a typical day, that might look like helping your parent get dressed and steady on their feet, making sure medications go in on time, preparing meals they can actually manage, noticing changes in balance or stiffness that matter, and just being there so you’re not getting the 2 a.m. call that your parent fell. We watch for the small signs, because with Parkinson’s, small signs often become big ones fast.
Norwich families often come to us after a discharge from William W. Backus Hospital or after a visit with their neurologist makes it clear they need daily support. We’re nurse-founded, which means we know how to read what Parkinson’s is actually doing, and we don’t wait for things to get worse before we adjust the plan. Being right here in New London County means we know the local doctors, the hospital discharge process, and the neighborhoods from Montville to Ledyard where our families live.
Our caregivers and nurses aren’t just checking boxes. They know tremors, falls, and the way medications can wear off mid-morning. We started this because we’ve been through it ourselves, and that means we see your parent as a person managing a specific illness, not a general care task.
When you call about Parkinson’s Care, we listen to what your parent is dealing with, what they need, and who they’ll trust walking into their home every day. We brief our caregivers completely, and we keep them in place so your parent isn’t retraining someone every month.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. A fall happens. A medication isn’t helping the way it used to. When you need to reach us or adjust the plan, you get a person on the phone who knows your situation, not a call center.
We work with William W. Backus Hospital discharge coordinators, we know the neurologists families see at New London Hospital, and we understand how care flows in communities from Norwich out to Groton and Ledyard. That local knowledge matters when your parent’s doctor needs to talk to someone who gets their home situation.

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
We help your parent with the physical tasks that Parkinson's makes harder: getting dressed, bathing, managing tremors while eating or taking medication, staying safe on their feet. We watch their medication schedule closely, because timing matters. We prepare meals they can manage, help with light housekeeping that lets them stay in their home, and notice when something's off, like a new tremor pattern or a fall risk you might not catch. We're there so your parent isn't alone managing symptoms that can change hour to hour.
We often coordinate with the hospital's discharge team, so we can start within days of your parent coming home. The faster we get in, the faster we can prevent the falls and missed medications that send people back to the hospital. We've worked with Backus long enough to know how their discharge process works, and we make sure your parent doesn't fall into a gap between hospital care and home stability.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means it's not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. That said, some families do use long-term care insurance or personal care assistance programs to help offset costs. We're direct with families about what this costs and what it covers, so there are no surprises. We also work with you on scheduling and frequency to fit your budget and your parent's actual needs.
Home health aides are usually covered by Medicare and do personal care and light housekeeping. They're trained generally. Parkinson's Care is designed specifically for someone managing Parkinson's disease, which means our caregivers understand tremor management, fall prevention, medication timing that's crucial to symptom control, and the subtle signs that something is changing. Because we're nurse-founded and focused, we catch problems earlier and we know when to involve your parent's doctor.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent, what matters to them, what their routine is, and what kind of personality will work in their home. Someone who can handle tremors calmly, who respects your parent's independence even while helping them stay safe, and who you'll actually trust walking into your parent's home every day. We don't just send someone. We match them.
We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's specific routine, and we call ahead so your parent knows who's coming. We don't leave families hanging, and we don't surprise your parent with a stranger on days when continuity really matters. If there's a longer absence, we brief a backup caregiver on your parent's medication schedule, mobility issues, and what they need that day.
