Parkinson’s Care is live-in or daily home support for your parent who’s managing Parkinson’s while staying in their own house. We help with the tremors, the falls you worry about, the slow decline in mobility, and the medication schedules that keep everything on track. It’s about being there when your parent needs steadiness, both physical and emotional.
On any given day, this might look like helping your parent dress or bathe without rushing, staying alert to fall risk as their balance changes, sitting with them during medication times to catch any side effects or confusion, and keeping track of appointments and what they’ve eaten. We also help with light tasks around the house so your parent can focus on staying active and engaged. You’ll know someone reliable is there, watching for the small changes that matter.
Many Westerly families have a parent coming home from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital after a Parkinson’s-related event, and they need someone who knows how to keep them safe and independent in those first weeks. Our nurses founded this agency because they’ve been through Parkinson’s with their own families, so we don’t guess at what matters. We know.
Our founder is a nurse who watched Parkinson’s change her own parent’s life. That’s why we focus on tremors, falls, medication timing, and the daily reality of staying home as your parent’s abilities shift. We’re not learning on the job, we’re drawing on real experience.
Before anyone shows up at your door, we listen to what your parent needs and who they might trust. We brief every caregiver on Parkinson’s specifics, your parent’s routines, and the small signals that mean something’s changing. A good match changes everything.
Parkinson’s isn’t static, and neither are we. If your parent’s needs shift, or if you notice something new, you call us and we adjust. You’re not trying to problem-solve alone at midnight or tracking down answers.
We’re local, we understand the discharge process from Lawrence + Memorial Hospital, and we know the rhythms of care in Westerly and Stonington. We can pick up immediately after your parent comes home, and we know the doctors and systems your family is already working with.

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 might include helping your parent get up and dressed, preparing breakfast and watching them eat, administering medications on time, a walk or gentle activity to keep mobility up, monitoring for tremors or balance issues, meal prep and light housekeeping, and evening support with dinner and bedtime routines. We also keep an eye out for anything new, like a fall, confusion, or a change in appetite that needs attention. Every day is a little different, and we adjust.
We can often start within 24 to 48 hours of discharge if you call us before your parent leaves the hospital. We'll gather information from the discharge papers and nursing team, brief your caregiver on what your parent will need that first week, and make sure they're ready to help with medications, mobility, and any post-hospital concerns. The faster we can start, the safer your parent's transition home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you work directly with us rather than through insurance. That gives us the flexibility to match your parent with someone experienced in Parkinson's and stay with them consistently. We understand this is a cost, and we're honest about it. We can discuss your options and what different levels of support cost.
Home health aides are often sent through insurance after a hospitalization and typically focus on physical tasks like bathing and dressing. Parkinson's Care is specialized. We focus on the tremors, falls, medication timing, and the subtle changes that matter with Parkinson's specifically. Our caregivers are trained to recognize when something's off and to work with your parent's specific rhythms and needs. It's a different level of attention.
Yes, that's how we work. We listen to your parent's personality, their schedule, what they're worried about, and what's worked or hasn't worked with other people. We then match them with someone whose experience and temperament fit. If the match isn't right after the first week, we make a change. You're not stuck with someone who doesn't work for your family.
We have backup caregivers trained and ready. We won't leave you scrambling or force your parent to work with someone unfamiliar without notice. We'll let you know as soon as we know there's a gap, and we'll send someone your parent has met or who's been briefed thoroughly. Consistency matters with Parkinson's, and we respect that.
