Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is in-home support designed for parents living with Parkinson’s disease. We help manage the daily realities: tremors that make morning coffee hard, the stiffness that makes getting out of bed slower, the falls risk that keeps you up at night, and the medication schedule that’s easy to miss. We’re here so your parent can stay home, and you can breathe.
On any given day, a caregiver helps with medication timing, mobility support to prevent falls, personal care, meal prep, and watching for the signs that something’s changed. We notice when your parent’s tremor is worse, when they’re moving slower, when they’ve skipped lunch. We catch these things because we’re trained in Parkinson’s, not just general caregiving.
If your parent was recently discharged from Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London, we know that transition well. We coordinate with their care team, understand the discharge notes, and pick up exactly where the hospital left off. Our founders are nurses who’ve worked in home care for years, so we know what actually matters when Parkinson’s is part of daily life.
We started this because we saw families struggling after diagnosis. Our team understands tremors, falls, medication schedules, and the specific way Parkinson’s changes someone’s day. That training shapes everything we do, from how we match caregivers to how we respond when things change.
We don’t just send someone. We listen to your parent’s needs, their personality, what Parkinson’s looks like for them, and what you’re most worried about. Then we match a caregiver with real experience in Parkinson’s care, not just general home care.
Parkinson’s doesn’t stick to a schedule. If your parent’s tremor gets worse, or a fall happens, or medication needs adjusting, you reach us and we respond. We’re not a call center. We know your family.
We work with Lawrence and Memorial Hospital’s discharge team regularly. We know Waterford, Groton, New London, East Lyme, and Montville. We’re here, we’re familiar, and we understand the local care ecosystem.

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. Every caregiver clears a multi-step screening — a background check, reference checks, and an in-person interview with our RN founder — before they are ever placed in a home. You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A typical day includes helping your parent take medications on time, assisting with bathing or dressing, preparing meals they can manage, supporting mobility and preventing falls, and watching for any changes in how they're moving or thinking. We also handle light housekeeping, laundry, and grocery shopping. Most importantly, we're present and alert to the small shifts that matter with Parkinson's.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge, depending on caregiver availability and your parent's needs. We coordinate directly with the hospital's discharge team to get the clinical notes and understand any special instructions. The sooner we can match a trained caregiver, the smoother your parent's transition home becomes.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, meaning you're working directly with us rather than through insurance or Medicare. This lets us keep caregivers on staff longer, match them thoughtfully to your parent's needs, and respond quickly when Parkinson's symptoms change. We're transparent about costs upfront.
Home health aides through Medicare or insurance focus on medical necessity and short-term recovery. Parkinson's Care is ongoing support for someone living with a chronic condition who wants to stay home. Our caregivers are trained in Parkinson's specifically, we stay matched to your family longer, and we're focused on quality of life, not just medical tasks.
Yes. We spend time understanding your parent's personality, their Parkinson's symptoms, what they're most afraid of, and what you need as the family. Then we match a caregiver with Parkinson's experience who fits that picture. We don't do one-size-fits-all.
We have backup caregivers trained in your parent's routine and Parkinson's needs. We don't leave you scrambling. If your regular caregiver is sick or unavailable, we contact you with a trained replacement, or we adjust the schedule to minimize disruption. You're not starting from scratch each time.
