You got the call from your sister after she visited on Sunday. She’d noticed your mom moving slower around the kitchen, hesitating at the Voluntown Community Center intersection during their walk. The tremors were worse, the falls were closer together, and your mom hadn’t mentioned any of it. That’s when you knew you needed someone who understood Parkinson’s, not just general caregiving.

Parkinson’s Care is in-home support designed around the specific challenges your parent faces: tremors that make dressing harder, falls that happen faster than you’d expect, mobility that declines week to week, and medication schedules that can’t slip. We’re here to help your parent stay home safely while managing these symptoms day to day.
On any given day, this means helping with morning routines when tremors are often worst, monitoring medication timing and side effects, staying alert to fall risk in familiar spaces, assisting with movement and balance as mobility changes, and keeping you informed when something shifts. We track what matters, notice patterns, and speak up when things change.
If your parent is recovering at home after a stay at William W. Backus Hospital, we know that discharge window well and can start quickly. We’re nurse-founded, which means our caregivers understand Parkinson’s physiology and progression, not just task completion. That background changes how we show up for your family.
Our founder was a nurse who worked with Parkinson’s patients long enough to see what families really need. We know how tremors worsen with stress, how falls happen in the bathroom at 2 a.m., how medication timing matters more than most people realize. That knowledge shapes every match we make.
We don’t send a rotation of caregivers. We listen to what your parent needs, who they’d work best with, what time of day matters most. Then we match thoughtfully and stick with that pairing so your parent isn’t retraining someone new every week.
Parkinson’s isn’t static. A fall happens, a medication adjustment shifts things, your parent’s mood changes. When you call us, you reach someone who knows your situation, not a call center. We pivot quickly.
We know Voluntown and the towns around it: Sterling, Griswold, North Stonington, Plainfield. We’re familiar with William W. Backus Hospital’s discharge process and can coordinate smoothly when your parent comes home. That local knowledge saves time and confusion.

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
It depends on your parent's needs, but typically includes assistance with morning routines when tremors peak, monitoring medication schedules and watching for side effects, helping with meals and hydration, mobility support and fall prevention, and keeping detailed notes on any changes. We're also watching for smaller shifts, like your parent moving more slowly or seeming more anxious. We report back to you regularly and flag anything that needs attention.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you reach us right away. We coordinate directly with hospital discharge planners and will get your parent's medical information and your priorities before the first visit. This means we're briefed and ready, not arriving cold. If your parent has immediate needs in those first hours, we help you arrange coverage.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it. We understand that's a real conversation for your family. We're transparent about our rates upfront, and we can discuss what schedule makes sense for your budget, whether that's full-time, part-time, or a few hours weekly. Some families use long-term care insurance or flexible spending accounts, and we can help you think through options.
Home health aides are typically sent by agencies after medical events and are covered by insurance for a set time. They follow medical orders but aren't specialized. Parkinson's Care is private pay and tailored to your parent's specific Parkinson's symptoms: tremors, falls, mobility decline, medication complexity, and the emotional weight of living with progression. We stay as long as your parent needs us, and we specialize in this disease.
Yes. We ask detailed questions before we match: What time does your parent do best? Are they morning people or evening people? How do they feel about physical assistance? What's their personality, their sense of humor, their history? Then we find someone who fits, not just someone available. We've learned that the right person makes everything easier.
We maintain a backup network of caregivers trained in Parkinson's care so your parent isn't left without support. We give you advance notice whenever possible and make sure the substitute knows your parent's routine, medication schedule, and preferences. We know consistency matters, especially with Parkinson's, so we minimize disruption and always prioritize continuity.
