Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support for your parent living at home while managing tremors, falls, medication schedules, and the mobility changes that come with the disease. We’re not medical nurses, but we’re trained to notice what your parent needs before they ask, and to keep them safe and on track in the home they know.
On a typical day, this might mean helping your parent get ready without rushing, making sure medications are taken on time, staying nearby during transfers or walks to catch a stumble before it becomes a fall, and keeping a quiet eye on appetite and mood. We do the small things that prevent the big ones: we don’t disappear into another room, we move slowly so your parent can follow, we ask before we help.
Many families come to us after a stay at Sharon Hospital, where doctors and nurses confirm what you already sensed: your parent needs consistent, reliable support at home. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand hospital discharge paperwork, we know what Sharon Hospital recommends, and we speak the language your parent’s medical team uses. That foundation shapes how we listen and plan.
Our founders came from nursing, so we know tremors change how your parent holds a spoon, how falls happen on familiar stairs, how a missed medication dose can throw off the whole day. We don’t treat Parkinson’s Care as a generic service. We watch for the specific signs your parent shows.
Before we send anyone to your home, we listen to what your parent needs, what rhythms matter, what helps them feel safe. We assign one caregiver when we can, so your parent isn’t explaining themselves to someone new each week. Consistency in Parkinson’s Care is not a luxury, it’s how it works.
Parkinson’s Care situations change, sometimes overnight. You can reach us when things shift. We adjust schedules, add hours, swap caregivers, or talk through what you’re seeing. You’re not navigating this alone.
We work across Sharon, Salisbury, Cornwall, Kent, and North Canaan. We know the roads, the local hospitals, and the rhythm of smaller-town care. We’ve walked families through discharge from Sharon Hospital and helped them transition to home life with real experience in this region.

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 caregiver arrives and helps your parent with personal care, dressing, and breakfast at a pace that doesn't rush tremors or fatigue. We remind about medications and watch them take them. During the day, we're present during transfers, walks, or stairs so a stumble doesn't become a fall. We notice if appetite is down, if they're quieter than usual, if they're having a harder time with buttons or balance. At the end of the shift, we make sure dinner is set up and your parent is in a safe spot. We also listen and report back to you about what we see.
We can usually start within a few days of discharge, sometimes sooner if hospital social workers give us advance notice. We ask for your parent's discharge summary and any instructions from their care team at Sharon Hospital. That paperwork helps us understand what the hospital is watching for and what your parent's current medications and limits are. We coordinate with you to find the start time that makes sense. If it's urgent, we move fast.
Parkinson's Care through our agency is private pay. Medicare covers skilled nursing and physical therapy, which are different services. If your parent needs those, their doctor or hospital social worker will arrange them separately. We fill the gap: the steady, daily support that keeps your parent safe and comfortable at home between medical visits. Many families combine our care with PT or nursing when needed.
Home health aides are typically sent by a medical agency after a doctor orders it, and Medicare or insurance pays for a set number of hours. They focus on personal care tasks. Parkinson's Care through us is private pay and includes personal care, yes, but we're trained specifically to watch for the tremors, falls, medication timing, and mobility changes that come with Parkinson's. We're present differently because we're thinking about your parent's specific disease, not just tasks.
Yes. We ask detailed questions about your parent: what helps them feel calm, what time of day they're strongest, how they like to be spoken to, what matters to them about privacy and routine. We listen to what you've noticed about tremors or falls or medication timing. Then we match a caregiver who fits that picture, not just someone available. If the match isn't working after a week or two, we adjust. Your parent shouldn't have to explain themselves repeatedly.
We first ask if a slight shift in timing works for your family. If not, we send a backup caregiver we've already briefed on your parent's needs, medications, and routine. We don't surprise your parent with someone entirely new without warning you first. In Parkinson's Care, consistency matters, but we also understand that life happens. We keep a small network of trained caregivers so you're not left without support.
