Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built around the specific challenges your parent faces: tremors that make getting dressed harder, fall risk that keeps everyone on edge, mobility that changes week to week, and medication schedules that can’t slip. We’re here to help your parent stay safely in their own home while managing the unpredictable parts of living with Parkinson’s.
On a typical day, this means helping with morning routine and medication timing, staying nearby during high-risk activities like bathing or cooking, watching for balance changes and fall patterns, reminding about doses, and keeping track of how things are actually going. We also listen for the small shifts, the new tremor pattern or the reluctance to walk that signals something’s changing.
Many Vernon families come to us right after a stay at Rockville General Hospital, when discharge instructions feel overwhelming and home suddenly feels unsafe. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand medication side effects, recognize what’s normal Parkinson’s progression and what’s not, and know how to talk to doctors when something needs attention.
Our team has seen how Parkinson’s actually shows up in someone’s home, not just in a medical chart. We know which parts of the day are most dangerous, how to set up the space so falls are less likely, and how to stay calm when tremors spike. Being nurse-founded means we catch things early and talk to doctors with credibility.
We don’t just send anyone. We brief our caregivers on your parent’s specific medication schedule, their fall history, their mobility limits, and what matters most to them. Then we listen to how it’s going and adjust if something isn’t working right.
Parkinson’s isn’t static. A tremor gets worse, a fall happens, medication timing shifts. We answer when you need us, and we help you figure out what comes next without making you feel like you’re overreacting.
We understand the discharge process at Rockville General Hospital, we know Vernon’s neighborhoods and the roads families drive, and we work with local doctors. Being local matters when your parent needs continuity and 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
We help with medication timing and reminders, support morning and evening routines, stay present during high-risk activities like bathing or transfers, and watch for changes in tremor, balance, or mobility. We also keep track of how your parent is doing emotionally and physically, and we let you know if something feels different. Think of us as an extra set of hands and eyes in the house, someone who understands Parkinson's specifically.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on our current schedule and your needs. We ask you to call us as soon as you know a discharge date is coming so we can brief a caregiver on your parent's specific situation, medication list, and fall history before they arrive. The faster we start, the faster your parent settles back home safely.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you're working directly with us rather than through insurance or Medicare. This actually gives us more flexibility to customize care to your parent's exact needs without approval delays. We're happy to discuss rates and what a typical week might look like financially.
A home health aide typically helps with basic personal care tasks after a medical event or injury. Parkinson's Care is different because we specialize in the specific, ongoing challenges Parkinson's brings: tremor management, fall prevention, medication schedules, and the mobility changes that happen over time. We're trained to recognize Parkinson's progression and to talk to doctors about what we're seeing.
Yes. We take time upfront to understand your parent's tremor patterns, their fall history, their medication schedule, and what matters most to them. We then match a caregiver who has experience with Parkinson's and whose personality fits your family. We also stay involved to make sure the match is working.
We maintain a backup plan so your parent doesn't miss medication or have a gap in care. We let you know immediately if there's a change, and we send a caregiver we've already briefed on your parent's specific needs. Your parent's safety and routine come first.
