No sales pressure. We'll tell you straight if we're not a fit.
Your parent used to drive out to Roxbury Congregational Church every Sunday, and last month they asked you to take over that errand. A few weeks later, you noticed they weren’t reaching for their coffee cup the way they used to, and the tremor in their hand was worse. When the neurologist in New Milford confirmed Parkinson’s, you knew you couldn’t manage the medications, the falls risk, and the daily routine alone from out of state.

Parkinson’s Care means having someone trained to recognize and respond to the specific challenges your parent faces every day. We’re talking about tremors that make simple tasks harder, the fall risk that keeps you up at night, the mobility decline that changes how your parent moves through the house, and the medication schedule that can’t be missed or mixed up. It’s not just about doing tasks for your parent, it’s about understanding how Parkinson’s changes what they need.
On any given day, this looks like helping with personal care while being alert to balance issues, managing the timing of medications to the minute, working with your parent on gentle movement to help with stiffness, and catching the small changes that mean something is shifting. You’ll also have someone in the home who knows when to call the doctor, when a fall is serious, and when your parent is having a good day versus a harder one.
If your parent is recovering at home after a stay at New Milford Hospital, we handle the transition carefully. Our caregivers are nurse-founded in approach, which means everyone on our team understands the medical side of Parkinson’s and doesn’t just follow a checklist. We work in Roxbury and all the surrounding towns in Litchfield County, and we know how to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and stable home care.
Our agency was founded by a nurse who has managed Parkinson’s care in real homes. That means we know what tremors actually interrupt, how falls happen in kitchens and bathrooms, and why medication timing matters so much. Your parent isn’t a task list to us, they’re a person with a complex condition we’ve learned to navigate.
We don’t just send someone over. We listen to what your parent needs, what time of day is hardest, what they’re worried about, and who they’ll actually trust in their home. Then we match a caregiver with the experience to handle those specific things, and we stay reachable when something changes.
We work in Roxbury, Bridgewater, Washington, Woodbury, and New Milford. We know the hospitals here, we know the doctors, and we understand the rhythm of how care works in Litchfield County. When your parent comes home from New Milford Hospital, we already know the discharge process and what questions to ask.
Parkinson’s Care is exhausting when it’s on you. We step in so you can step back. You’ll still be part of your parent’s care, but you won’t be the one tracking every medication or worrying about the next fall. That’s what we’re here for.

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
A typical day includes helping with personal care in a way that accounts for tremor and balance issues, giving medications on time and watching for side effects, helping with meals when swallowing or coordination is harder, assisting with safe movement and gentle activity, and watching for signs that something has shifted. Our caregivers also keep track of how your parent is doing, note any changes, and alert you or the doctor when necessary. It's hands-on support that's also medically aware.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us right away. We work closely with New Milford Hospital's discharge team to understand your parent's needs and any new medications or precautions. If your parent is coming home with urgent needs, we prioritize matching and can get someone there quickly. The sooner you call, the faster we can have a caregiver briefed and ready.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you pay out of pocket rather than through insurance. We're upfront about that from the start. We don't bill Medicare or most insurance plans because we're not a medical agency, we're a home care agency focused on daily support and safety. Some families use long-term care insurance, and we can help you figure out what that covers.
Home health aides are typically sent by medical agencies after a hospital stay and are covered by Medicare or insurance for a limited time. Parkinson's Care through us is ongoing, private pay support that continues as long as your parent needs it. We also specialize in Parkinson's specifically, so our caregivers are trained in tremor management, fall prevention, and medication timing in a way that general home health aides might not be.
Yes, absolutely. We listen to what your parent needs most, whether that's someone experienced with fall prevention, someone calm and patient with tremor-related frustration, someone who understands medication management, or someone your parent simply feels safe with. We take time to match the right caregiver to the right person, and if it's not working, we'll adjust. Good matches matter.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's routine and needs, so we don't leave you without support. We notify you ahead of time whenever possible and make sure whoever comes in next knows your parent's schedule, preferences, and any recent changes. Your parent's care doesn't skip a day because one caregiver is sick.
