Parkinson’s Care is personalized support for your parent living at home while managing Parkinson’s disease. We help with the specific challenges that come with the diagnosis: managing tremors, preventing falls, addressing mobility changes, and keeping medication schedules on track. Our caregivers work with your parent to maintain routines and stay as independent as possible.
Day-to-day, this looks like a caregiver who assists with morning routines, reminds about medications at the right times, walks alongside your parent to reduce fall risk, and watches for the small changes that matter. You’ll see someone who notices when your parent is struggling more on certain days, someone who moves slowly and speaks clearly, someone who shows up.
Many families in Stonington have brought their parent home after care at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, and that’s where Parkinson’s Care begins in earnest. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of Parkinson’s and know how to work alongside doctors, not just follow orders. That foundation changes how we show up.
We started this because nurses see what families need and what gets missed. We know tremors aren’t just shaking, falls aren’t just accidents, and medication schedules aren’t optional. Your parent’s safety and dignity are the same thing to us.
We match slowly and deliberately, getting to know your parent’s personality, their preferences, their fears. A good match means your caregiver comes back, learns your parent’s rhythms, and becomes trusted. That takes time, and we take it.
Parkinson’s changes week to week sometimes. When you call with a concern, you reach a real person who knows your parent’s situation. We adjust care as needed, without making you wait for a committee decision.
We know Stonington, Groton, Ledyard, North Stonington, and the discharge process at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital. We’re not a national service learning your town. We live here and move quickly because we’re already here.

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

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A typical day includes medication reminders at the right times, assistance with personal care and dressing, support with mobility and gentle exercise, meal preparation and eating support, fall prevention checks as your parent moves through the home, and simple companionship. Your caregiver also watches for signs of medication wearing off or new tremor patterns. Everything is built around your parent's actual routine, not a template.
We can often start within 48 hours of discharge if you call us while your parent is still in the hospital. We'll coordinate with the discharge planner at Lawrence + Memorial to understand your parent's immediate needs, then get a matched caregiver in place fast. If you're already home and realizing you need support, we move just as quickly. The sooner you call, the sooner we can help.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover this kind of support at home, which is honestly why many families scramble to figure it out. We're transparent about cost upfront and work with you on scheduling and frequency. We know this is an investment, and we make sure it's worth it.
Home health aides are typically ordered by doctors after hospitalization and are covered by Medicare for short-term, medical recovery. Parkinson's Care is private pay and focuses on the long-term management of your parent living at home with Parkinson's, including falls, tremors, mobility changes, and medication routines. We're not replacing medical care. We're the support that bridges the gap between medical visits and daily life.
Yes. We do a careful intake with you first, learning about your parent's personality, their fears around Parkinson's, what kind of person they'll trust, and their daily rhythms. Then we match thoughtfully, not quickly. We've found that the right match means your parent is more likely to accept help and your caregiver stays longer. This is where being local matters. We know our caregivers personally.
We keep backup caregivers trained and ready. If your regular caregiver is sick or has an emergency, we'll send a familiar backup if possible, or introduce someone new if necessary. We call ahead to prepare your parent, not just show up with a stranger. You'll always know what's happening. Reliability is part of keeping your parent safe.
