Your mom made it through the intersection at Route 11 and Trumbull Heights, but you noticed her hands shaking on the steering wheel. The next morning, she mentioned a small fall in the kitchen that she didn’t want to worry you about. When the neurologist confirmed Parkinson’s, you realized she needed someone at home who actually understands what comes next, not just someone to check boxes.

Parkinson’s Care is structured support for your parent living at home with Parkinson’s disease. We help manage the symptoms that show up every day, tremors and rigidity and the fear of falling, while keeping your parent as independent as possible for as long as possible.
On a typical day, a caregiver watches for medication timing, helps with balance when your parent moves around the house, notices small changes in mobility or mood, and stays alert to falls or near-falls. We’re there during the hard parts, the morning stiffness, the afternoon fatigue, the times when confidence drops. We also listen and report back to you so nothing slips between appointments.
Many Salem families come to us after discharge from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, where doctors have confirmed the diagnosis and started medications. Our caregivers are trained in Parkinson’s specifically because a nurse founded this agency after caring for her own parent. That means we know what matters.
Our founder lived through this. She learned what tremors actually feel like to manage, how a fall can happen in seconds, why medication timing matters so much. That experience shapes every caregiver we send to your home.
We don’t just send someone available. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific tremor patterns, mobility challenges, personality, and preferences. The match matters because Parkinson’s is different for every person.
Parkinson’s shifts week to week. You need someone you can call, not a voicemail. We’re here to adjust care, swap caregivers if needed, and talk through what you’re seeing at home.
We know Salem, East Lyme, Montville, and Waterford. We’re familiar with Lawrence + Memorial Hospital’s discharge process and can coordinate with your parent’s local doctors. We’re not distant.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.

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 caregiver helps with morning routines, watches medication schedules, assists with balance and mobility around the home, prepares meals, and stays present during tremors or moments of anxiety. We also monitor for falls, track changes in symptoms, and keep you informed. The focus is on safety, dignity, and keeping your parent engaged at home while you have peace of mind.
We can usually begin within 24 to 48 hours of your call. We'll ask about your parent's discharge summary, current medications, and specific mobility or tremor concerns. Our local connection to Lawrence + Memorial means we understand the care plan and can hit the ground running. Speed matters when your parent is newly home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover non-medical home care or companionship, even when Parkinson's is the reason. We're transparent about cost and can discuss payment plans. Many families view this as essential support that insurance doesn't reach.
A home health aide typically handles personal care tasks and is sent by a medical agency after a doctor's order. Parkinson's Care is more flexible support tailored to your parent's day-to-day life. Our caregivers know Parkinson's specifically, stay alert to symptom changes, help with medication routines, and provide the consistency and relationship that matters when your parent is at home long-term.
Yes. We spend time understanding your parent's tremor patterns, whether they're morning-heavy or all-day, mobility challenges, personality, and what helps them feel safe. We match based on experience and fit, not just availability. If a caregiver isn't the right match, we adjust. Consistency and trust matter in Parkinson's Care.
We have backup caregivers trained in Parkinson's Care who can step in. We'll let you know as soon as possible and make sure the replacement knows your parent's routine, medications, and specific needs. We don't leave gaps. Your parent's safety and routine don't stop because someone called out.
