Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built around the specific challenges your parent faces: medication reminders that actually stick, fall prevention by someone who’s trained to spot the signs, help with mobility before a stumble becomes a crisis. We’re not replacing their independence. We’re protecting it while they stay in their own home where they want to be.
On any given day, our caregivers help with medication schedules so nothing gets skipped or doubled, watch for tremors that are worsening, keep the home setup safe so walks to the bathroom or kitchen don’t turn into emergencies, and stay alert to the small changes that mean something bigger might be coming. We also listen. Parkinson’s is unpredictable, and families need someone in the house who notices when things shift.
After a hospital stay at Day Kimball or a doctor’s appointment that brings real concerns home, Parkinson’s Care bridges that gap between medical care and daily life. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand the clinical side of Parkinson’s alongside the human side, so you get someone who knows both what to watch for and how to talk to your parent about it without making them feel watched.
We started with nursing experience, not a business model first. That means we know what tremors actually look like minute-to-minute, how falls happen in real homes, how medication confusion sneaks up on you. Your parent gets caregivers trained in Parkinson’s specifics, not just general care.
The first caregiver isn’t always the right fit for Parkinson’s care. We take time to understand your parent’s personality, their schedule, what they’re worried about, and what they need to feel safe at home. Good matching means your parent trusts the person, and you can breathe.
Parkinson’s Care situations change fast. When something shifts, you need someone to answer the phone, adjust the plan, bring in backup if tremors are worse or a fall risk has gone up. We’re here for the adjustments, not just the start date.
We work in Pomfret, Putnam, Woodstock, Eastford, Brooklyn. We know the Day Kimball discharge process, we know the local doctors, and we understand what post-hospital care really looks like in our area. Local matters when your parent is at home.

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're in your home helping with medication reminders, checking that tremors aren't worsening, making sure mobility is safe, and watching for falls before they happen. We're also the person who notices if your parent seems more confused one day, if appetite is dropping, if they've stopped doing something they usually do. We report to you and coordinate with their doctor. It's active supervision and support, not just checking a box.
We can often start within 48 to 72 hours of discharge if you call us right away. We talk directly to Day Kimball's discharge team to understand what was happening in the hospital and what your parent needs now. If a caregiver isn't available immediately, we help you with next-day options while we find the right match. Speed matters when someone is newly home and still adjusting.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover the level of Parkinson's-specific monitoring and support we provide at home. We can help you understand the cost and work with you on scheduling. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, but that's separate from our service. We're honest about this because you deserve to plan.
Home health aides come in after a doctor orders skilled nursing care, usually for a set number of visits, and insurance pays for it. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support you arrange directly because you know your parent needs it. Our caregivers are trained specifically in Parkinson's, not general home health. It's a different model, built for families like yours who need consistency and someone who knows Parkinson's inside and out.
Yes. We talk with you first about what your parent needs most: someone calm and patient with tremors, someone strong for mobility help, someone good at medication organization, someone they'll trust. We also listen to personality fit. We've found that the right caregiver makes the difference between your parent feeling safe and feeling like someone is just there. We take matching seriously because you have to.
We call you first and give you a heads-up so you're not left scrambling. We bring in a backup caregiver we've already vetted and trained, or we adjust the schedule. With Parkinson's Care, consistency is important, so we try to minimize changes. But we also know life happens, so we have a plan and we communicate it. You won't be left guessing.
