Parkinson’s Care means having someone in your parent’s home who understands tremors, medication timing, fall risk, and the slow creep of mobility loss. It’s not just checking in. It’s being there during the hours when your parent is most vulnerable, when a missed dose matters, when getting from the bedroom to the kitchen becomes genuinely hard.
On a typical day, a caregiver helps with morning routines and medication schedules, watches for falls and balance shifts, supports mobility around the house, prepares meals, and stays alert to the small changes that signal a doctor’s visit is overdue. We’re also there for the emotional part, the frustration your parent feels when their body isn’t cooperating, when they’re scared or angry about what’s happening.
Union families trust us because we’re nurse-founded. That means our caregivers are trained to spot what matters, not just what’s obvious. After discharge from Johnson Memorial Hospital or when your parent’s Parkinson’s diagnosis shifts, we know the local medical landscape and how to work alongside their neurologist and primary care team to keep them safe and independent at home as long as possible.
Our founder is a nurse who has managed Parkinson’s care for years. Our caregivers know the difference between a tremor and a sign something else is wrong, they understand medication windows and why timing matters, and they’re trained to prevent falls without making your parent feel infantilized. Your parent stays home, but they’re not alone with the hardest parts.
We don’t just send someone to your house. We talk with you first, understand your parent’s personality and specific challenges, and match a caregiver who has the right experience and temperament. Then we brief them completely so they know your parent’s baseline and what to watch for.
Parkinson’s isn’t stable. Medications shift, mobility declines, falls happen. You can reach us, not an answering service. We adjust the plan when your parent’s needs shift, and we do it without drama or delay.
We know Johnson Memorial Hospital’s discharge process, we work with local neurologists and primary care doctors, and we understand the geography of Union and the surrounding towns. We’re not managing your parent’s care from somewhere else. We’re here.

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 typical day includes morning medication management, assistance with personal care and dressing, meal preparation, mobility support around the house, and fall prevention. Your caregiver watches for medication side effects, tremor changes, balance shifts, and mood changes that matter. They're also there for conversation, company, and the emotional reality of living with Parkinson's. The schedule adjusts based on your parent's specific needs and your family's preferences.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on your timeline and caregiver availability. We ask for a day or two to brief your caregiver on your parent's specific medical history, medications, and discharge instructions from the hospital. If you need faster placement, we'll work with you to make it happen. The sooner we start, the sooner your parent and family can feel supported at home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover non-medical home care, even when it's deeply needed. We're upfront about cost so you can budget without surprises. We work with families on frequency and hours to fit their situation. Some families use long-term care insurance if they have it, and we can help you submit invoices for reimbursement consideration.
A home health aide is usually ordered by a doctor and paid by insurance for a limited time after hospitalization or illness. Parkinson's Care is ongoing, private pay support from a caregiver trained specifically for Parkinson's challenges like tremors, medication timing, and fall prevention. We're not medical nursing, but we understand the disease deeply and stay as long as your parent needs us. Home health ends. We stay.
Yes. We talk with you about your parent's personality, medical history, mobility level, medication complexity, and what matters most to your family. Then we match someone with the right experience and temperament, not just availability. We can request caregivers who speak your parent's language, have Parkinson's experience, or have a background that fits your family's values. The match matters. We don't rush it.
We have backup caregivers trained on your parent's specific needs and routine so coverage doesn't disappear. We notify you in advance if a change is coming, and we make sure the backup knows your parent's medications, preferences, and what to watch for. We don't leave families stranded, and your parent isn't cared for by someone unfamiliar with their situation.
