Parkinson’s Care is support that stays with your parent while they live at home in Thompson. We help manage the tremors, work with you on falls prevention, track mobility changes day-to-day, and make sure medication schedules don’t slip. Our caregivers aren’t nurses, but they’re trained in what Parkinson’s looks like in a home setting, and they know when something’s different enough to call you or the doctor.
On a typical day, your parent’s caregiver checks in on walking safety around the house, helps with timing of medications, watches for the bad hours when tremors peak, and keeps you in the loop about what they’re seeing. We also help with the small things that matter: keeping the house steady, being there when fatigue hits hard, and noticing if your parent is pulling away from things they used to do. It’s not medical nursing, but it’s steady, informed presence.
Thompson families often connect with us after discharge from Day Kimball Hospital, or when they realize managing this alone isn’t working anymore. Being nurse-founded means our caregivers understand the physiology of Parkinson’s, recognize red flags, and know how to talk to doctors and hospital staff in a way that gets your parent heard. We’re local to Windham County, we know the Day Kimball discharge process inside out, and we’ve built real relationships with the people who’ll be part of your parent’s care.
Our founder is a nurse who built this agency around what families don’t tell you in the waiting room. We know tremors get worse under stress, that falls happen fast, that medication timing can shift your parent’s whole day, and that keeping them home takes real planning and the right person in the house.
We don’t just send someone. We listen to what your parent is like, what you’re most worried about, and what the actual rhythm of their day looks like. Then we match a caregiver who gets it, who’s done this work before, and who you feel good about being in your parent’s home.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule, and neither do we. When your parent has a harder week, or you notice something new, you call us and you get a real conversation, not a voicemail tree. We adjust, we problem-solve, and we keep you in front of what’s actually happening.
We know the roads, the hospitals, the doctors, and the way things work here. We’ve supported families through Day Kimball discharges, coordinated with local physicians, and built the kind of local knowledge that means fewer dropped balls and more trust.

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
Your parent's caregiver is there to help with mobility and fall prevention, make sure medications are taken on time, watch for tremor patterns and fatigue, and notice changes worth reporting. They're also present for the emotional side, knowing that some days are harder than others and that isolation makes everything worse. We don't do medical nursing, but we do understand the disease and what keeps your parent safe and engaged at home.
We can often start within a few days, sometimes the same week, depending on your timeline and what we learn about your parent's needs. We coordinate directly with Day Kimball's discharge team to make sure we have the full picture and nothing gets lost in the handoff. The faster we start, the sooner your parent gets back to feeling settled, and the sooner you stop worrying about the gaps.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans cover medical nursing, which is different from what we do. We work with families on what this costs, and we're honest about pricing. Some families use a combination of medical home health and our care to fill out the full picture of support their parent needs.
A home health aide works under a doctor's orders and does medical tasks. Our caregivers are trained in Parkinson's specifically, know what the disease looks like day-to-day, and can spot when something feels off. We're built around the reality that your parent wants to stay home, not around a medical event. Many families use both, depending on what their parent needs and what insurance covers.
Yes. We start by listening to you and your parent. We want to know about personality, preferences, what your parent does and doesn't want help with, and what scares you most. Then we match someone with experience, temperament that clicks, and the kind of presence your parent responds to. It's not automatic, and we don't pretend one person works for everyone.
We have backup. We coordinate closely enough that your parent isn't left hanging, and we let you know immediately if something changes. We also build relationships so your parent isn't working with a new face every time. Continuity matters, especially with Parkinson's, and we take that seriously.
