Your sister noticed something was off when she visited for Thanksgiving, somewhere between the kitchen table on Main Street and the living room.

That’s when you realized you needed someone trained specifically in Parkinson’s care, someone who could be in your parent’s home in Putnam before things got worse.

Parkinson’s Care is home support designed around the specific challenges your parent faces: tremors that make simple tasks hard, the risk of falls that keeps you up at night, mobility that seems to slip a little more each month, and medication schedules that need to be tracked and managed carefully. It’s not a medical service, but it’s trained care that understands what Parkinson’s actually does to daily life.
On any given day, our caregivers help with bathing and dressing, prepare meals that work with your parent’s swallowing needs, help them move safely around the house, remind them of medications at the right time, and stay alert to the small changes that matter. They’re there to keep your parent living at home as long as possible, with the routine and dignity that matters.
If your parent has just left Day Kimball Hospital or is being managed by their neurologist in Windham County, we know the discharge paperwork and the local care landscape. We’re nurse-founded, which means every caregiver we send has been trained by someone who’s worked in hospitals and homes, understands Parkinson’s progression, and knows when something needs a doctor’s attention.
Our founder is a nurse who’s managed Parkinson’s patients in clinical settings and at home. Every caregiver we place understands tremors, the fall risk that changes week to week, how mobility decline happens, and why medication timing matters more than people realize. You’re not training someone on the fly, and you’re not explaining Parkinson’s to a generalist.
We don’t send the first available person. We ask about your parent’s personality, their fears, what time of day is hardest, whether they need someone calm and quiet or someone who talks them through movements. Then we stay in touch, adjust if something isn’t working, and bring in experience we’ve built across Windham County.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. A fall happens, a medication question comes up at midnight, your parent suddenly seems more confused, or the tremor gets worse for a few days. You can call us, and we answer the way someone who knows Parkinson’s would, not like you’re calling a general line.
We know the doctors at Day Kimball Hospital, we understand the discharge process here in Windham County, and we move fast when your parent is coming home from the hospital. We’re not learning your town or your parent’s care team. We’re already part of the landscape you live in.

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
It depends on your parent's needs, but typically includes help with hygiene and dressing, preparing meals that work with their swallowing, mobility assistance to reduce fall risk, and reminding them of medications at the exact times their doctor prescribed. Our caregivers also watch for the small changes, like increased tremor or stiffness, and let you know when something feels different. We're not medical nurses, but we're trained to notice and report.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if we have the caregiver match lined up. We coordinate directly with Day Kimball's discharge team so nothing gets lost between the hospital and home. If you call us before your parent leaves the hospital, we can have someone ready to meet them at home with all the paperwork and care plan in place.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover non-medical home care, even though it's essential. We work with many families who've already exhausted their insurance home health benefits and need ongoing support. We're transparent about costs and happy to discuss what different levels of support cost per week or month.
Home health aides are sent by agencies after a doctor orders skilled nursing. Parkinson's Care is what you arrange directly because your parent needs consistent, trained support between medical visits or after insurance runs out. We're not replacing a nurse, but we're filling the gap where your parent still needs help with tremors, falls, mobility, and medication reminders at home.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent's personality, their schedule, what they're most afraid of, and what time of day is hardest. We then match them with someone we've trained who has experience with Parkinson's specifically. If it's not the right fit after the first week or two, we adjust. One caregiver doesn't work for everyone.
We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's care plan. We won't leave you without coverage. We let you know as soon as we know there's an absence and tell you who's coming instead. If your regular caregiver is out for a long stretch, we find continuity so your parent isn't learning new faces every day.
