Parkinson’s Care in Plainville, 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.
You noticed it at your dad’s last appointment at the Hospital of Central Connecticut, the way his hand shook when he tried to sign the discharge paperwork and he quickly moved it under the table so no one would make a fuss. He’s been managing on his own out on Shuttle Meadow Road for two years now, and until that moment you’d mostly believed it when he said things were fine. That visit changed something for you. You came home knowing the tremors were getting worse, that the medication schedule he’d scrawled on a notepad wasn’t working anymore, and that the next fall might not be a near-miss.
We work with families in Plainville who are exactly where you are right now. Our caregivers are matched specifically for Parkinson’s, not just general availability, and we can usually start within 48 hours of your call.
Parkinson’s care at home is daily, hands-on support built around how the disease actually moves through a person’s life. That means helping with morning routines when stiffness is worst, being steady and present during transfers from bed to chair, and making sure medications are taken on time because missed doses can mean a very hard next few hours. It’s physical presence when the body isn’t cooperating, and calm company when frustration sets in.
Day to day, our caregivers in Plainville help with bathing, dressing, meal prep, light housekeeping, and safe movement around the home. They track changes in tremor patterns or balance and let us know so we can loop you in. For families bringing a parent home after a stay at Hospital of Central Connecticut, we coordinate around the discharge plan and can often be in place on the same day the patient returns home, which makes that transition far less frightening for everyone.
Many families across Plainville, whether near the town green or further out toward the Southington line, find that their parent needs more support than an occasional check-in but isn’t ready for a facility. That’s exactly the gap we fill. Because Private Duty Aides was founded by a working nurse, our care approach for Parkinson’s specifically includes a detailed briefing between our nursing staff and each caregiver before the first visit, so nothing important gets missed from day one.
How it works
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 usually starts with the morning routine, which is often the hardest time for someone with Parkinson's because stiffness peaks overnight. Your caregiver helps with getting up safely, washing, dressing, and preparing breakfast, then stays present through the day for medication reminders, meals, mobility support, and whatever activity your parent manages. In the afternoon there may be a walk, some light housekeeping, or just company. The caregiver also notes any changes in tremor, balance, or mood and passes that along to us so you stay in the loop.
In most cases we can have a caregiver in place on the same day your parent comes home, or the morning after at the latest. We work with families at Hospital of Central Connecticut regularly and we're familiar with how their discharge process works, so we can coordinate timing without you having to manage every detail. Call us as soon as you know the discharge date and we'll take it from there.
We're a private-pay agency, which means we don't bill Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance directly. Families pay us out of pocket. Some long-term care insurance policies do reimburse for private-duty non-medical care, so it's worth calling your insurer to ask. We'll give you a clear rate when you call so you know exactly what you're looking at with no surprises later.
A home health aide typically comes through Medicare or a home health agency after a qualifying hospitalization, visits for a limited number of hours, and focuses on skilled or medical tasks. Our Parkinson's Care is non-medical, private-pay, and built around daily life support for as many hours as your family needs. We don't replace medical care, but we fill the much larger space around it, the daily routines, the safety support, and the steady presence that Medicare-covered visits don't provide.
Yes, and that matching process is one of the things we take most seriously. Before we suggest anyone, we want to know about your parent's temperament, what frustrates them, what they enjoy, how they like to spend their time, and what kind of help they'll actually accept versus resist. A caregiver who's technically skilled but clashes with your parent's personality won't work, and we know that. If a match isn't right, we fix it without making you feel like you're being difficult.
We always have a backup plan in place and we contact you before a shift change, not after. The substitute caregiver is briefed on your parent's needs and routines ahead of time so they're not arriving cold. We don't leave gaps in coverage and we don't leave you to figure it out yourself when something unexpected comes up.
