Your mom made it through dinner at the senior center on Route 14A last month, but yesterday she couldn’t grip her fork. A fall three weeks ago that she didn’t tell you about.

Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is home care built around the specific challenges your parent faces: tremors that make daily tasks harder, the risk of falls, the slow decline in mobility, and the complexity of staying on top of medication schedules. We’re not here to move your parent to a facility. We’re here to help them stay home, safe, and as independent as possible.
On a typical day, our caregivers help with medication reminders at the right times, assist with movement and walking to reduce fall risk, help with personal care and meals, and watch for the small changes that matter. We track what’s working and what isn’t. We notice when tremors are worse in the afternoon or when your parent needs an extra hand getting out of a chair. We’re present in the moments that matter.
If your parent was recently discharged from Day Kimball Hospital, we know that transition well. We work with Day Kimball’s care coordinators and your parent’s neurologist to understand exactly what was recommended. Because we’re nurse-founded, we bring clinical understanding to every shift, not just general caregiving. That means we catch things early and we know when to flag a concern.
Our agency was built by someone who worked in nursing and understands Parkinson’s from the inside. We know tremors aren’t just shaking. We know falls aren’t accidents waiting to happen if you’re vigilant enough. We know medication schedules matter more than most people realize.
We don’t just send whoever is available. We listen to what your parent needs and what you need, then we match a caregiver with the right experience and temperament. Once the relationship starts, we check in regularly and adjust if something isn’t working.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow business hours. If your parent has a bad day or your caregiver gets sick, you reach us and we respond quickly. You’re not left figuring it out alone on a Saturday evening.
We know Sterling, Plainfield, Killingly, Voluntown, and Griswold. We know Day Kimball Hospital and how they discharge Parkinson’s patients. We’re embedded in this community and we show up for it.

We listen to your situation. No forms, no pressure, no sales pitch.
For Parkinson’s Care specifically, not just whoever is available that week.

We stay in contact so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
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
Medication reminders and administration at the right times. Help with mobility, transfers, and walking to prevent falls. Personal care, bathing, and grooming. Meal preparation and feeding support if needed. We watch for tremor patterns, mood changes, and physical decline. We keep notes on what we observe so you and your parent's doctor have real information. We're not just present, we're actively engaged in your parent's safety and comfort.
Often within 24 to 48 hours if we know about the discharge ahead of time. We get the discharge paperwork from Day Kimball, review the medication list and physical therapy notes, and brief your caregiver before the first shift. If this is urgent, call us immediately and we'll move fast. The sooner we're involved, the better we can prevent problems at home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. We don't bill Medicare or insurance plans. We know that's a real limitation for many families. Some people have long-term care insurance that may cover home care, so it's worth checking your policy. We're happy to discuss rates and what different schedules look like so you can plan.
Home health aides through Medicare are typically ordered by a doctor for a limited time after a hospital stay and focus on skilled nursing or physical therapy support. Parkinson's Care is ongoing, private pay, and built for the parent who needs consistent support to stay safe at home long-term. We're not replacing medical care, but we're the person there every day who knows your parent, knows Parkinson's, and knows what to watch for.
Yes. We ask about your parent's personality, what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and what kind of caregiver would feel like a good fit. We match based on experience with Parkinson's, availability, and chemistry. Not every pairing works immediately, and we're willing to adjust. The goal is a caregiver your parent trusts and who understands their specific situation.
We have backup coverage and we notify you as soon as we know there's a change. We don't leave you hanging on a Tuesday morning. If it's a last-minute absence, we work to find a familiar substitute caregiver when possible. If it's longer-term, we help you transition to a new match and we stay involved until things are stable again.
