Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built around the specific challenges your parent faces right now. We’re talking about helping with tremors that make daily tasks harder, preventing falls before they happen, managing the slower movements and stiffness that come with the disease, and making sure medications get taken exactly on schedule. It’s about keeping your parent as independent and safe as possible while they’re living at home.
On any given day, our caregivers are watching for balance problems, helping with morning routines when movement is stiffest, organizing and administering medications, and staying alert to changes in your parent’s symptoms or mood. We sit with them, we listen, we notice when something’s off. This isn’t about doing everything for them. It’s about being there so they don’t have to white-knuckle through the day alone.
We’re local to Sprague and New London County, and we work closely with William W. Backus Hospital on discharge planning and ongoing care. Our founder is a nurse who worked with Parkinson’s patients for years, which means our caregivers understand tremors and mobility decline in ways that matter. We don’t guess at what your parent needs. We listen, we learn, and we adjust.
Our founder spent years supporting Parkinson’s patients and saw exactly where home care fell short. That experience shapes every caregiver we hire and every decision we make about your parent’s care. We know tremors aren’t just an inconvenience. We know falls can happen fast. We know medication timing can make or break someone’s day.
We don’t send whoever’s available. We take time to understand your parent’s personality, their specific Parkinson’s symptoms, and what matters most to your family. Then we match them with a caregiver who gets it. Continuity matters, especially when your parent is managing mobility decline and needs to trust the person helping them.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. When symptoms shift or you need to change something quickly, you reach us directly. We’re not a call center. We listen, we problem-solve, and we adapt our care plan because we know your parent’s situation isn’t static.
We know Sprague, Norwich, Lisbon, Franklin, and Bozrah. We’re familiar with William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge process and how to pick up care smoothly when your parent comes home. Being local means we show up on time, we know your neighborhood, and we’re part of your community.

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
It depends on your parent's needs, but typically we're helping with medication schedules, monitoring for falls and balance issues, assisting with morning routines when stiffness is worst, and watching for mood or symptom changes. We do light housekeeping related to their care, help with personal hygiene, and just be present so they're not managing everything alone. Some days we're watching for tremors that make eating or dressing harder. Some days we're helping them stay active and engaged to maintain mobility.
We can start within 24 to 48 hours in most cases, sometimes sooner if it's urgent. We work with the hospital's discharge team to get a clear picture of your parent's current status and what they need right away. Once we're brought in, we move fast because we understand that the first weeks home after a hospital stay are critical. We'll meet with you and your parent before the first shift to answer questions and make sure everyone's on the same page.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, meaning you cover the cost directly rather than going through insurance. This actually gives us more flexibility to customize care around your parent's real needs instead of what an insurance company allows. We're transparent about our rates from the start. We understand it's a financial decision, and we're happy to talk through what makes sense for your family's situation.
Home health aides are typically sent by agencies after a doctor orders skilled nursing or therapy, and insurance covers part of it for a limited time. Parkinson's Care is private pay and designed for longer-term support at home. We focus specifically on Parkinson's challenges, not just general assistance. Our caregivers understand tremors, medication timing, fall prevention, and mobility decline in ways general aides may not. We're also more flexible about adjusting care as your parent's needs change.
Yes, that's exactly how we work. We start by understanding your parent's personality, their symptoms, what times of day are hardest, and what your family values most. Then we match them with a caregiver who's experienced with Parkinson's and fits that picture. If it's not working after a trial period, we find a better match. Your parent spending time with the same trusted person makes a real difference in their confidence and safety at home.
We call you first and let you know as soon as we're aware of a conflict. If we need to send a backup caregiver, we make sure they know your parent's care plan and routine beforehand, never cold. We keep a network of trained caregivers familiar with Parkinson's so you're not left without support. We also try to minimize surprises by building in flexibility and giving you as much notice as possible when schedule changes might happen.
