Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is hands-on support designed around the reality of living with Parkinson’s at home. We help with the tremors that make everyday tasks harder, the fall risks that keep you awake at night, the medication schedules that are easy to miss, and the mobility challenges that change week to week. Our caregivers are trained to notice what doctors can’t see in an office visit.
On a typical day, we’re there to help with personal care, medication reminders at the exact times they’re needed, safe movement around the house, meal preparation, and the hundred small things that get harder. We watch for changes in balance, keep track of what’s working and what isn’t, and we stay alert to the patterns only someone present in the home can catch.
Windham Hospital discharges happen, and families often find themselves at home without clear next steps. We’re nurse-founded, which means we understand the medical side of Parkinson’s and how to translate that into real daily care. We’re local to Windham County, we know the discharge process, and we’re ready to step in the same day if that’s what you need.
Our founder is a nurse who’s worked with Parkinson’s patients for years. We don’t just help with tasks, we understand the medical reality of what’s happening in your parent’s body. We know how tremors affect safety, we know why falls happen, and we know how to help prevent them.
We listen to what matters to your family before we send anyone to your home. We brief every caregiver on your parent’s specific needs, medication schedule, and what changes to watch for. That preparation makes the difference between a caregiver who helps and one who truly understands what they’re walking into.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. If your parent’s balance worsens, or their medications need adjusting, or you notice something new, you can reach us. We stay connected and responsive because we know this isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it situation.
We know Windham Hospital’s discharge team, we understand the Windham County system, and we work with all the neighborhoods across Willimantic. We’re here in your community, not managing your care from somewhere else.

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 reminders at the right times, personal care, meals, safe movement around the house, and we watch for changes in tremors, balance, or mood. If your parent needs help getting dressed because tremors are worse that day, we adjust. If they're unsteady on their feet, we're there to prevent falls. We also track what's working and what isn't, so you have real information for doctor visits.
We can start the same day you call if that's what you need. We work with Windham Hospital's discharge planners and we've done this many times. Once you contact us, we'll ask about your parent's specific situation, match you with a caregiver who's trained in Parkinson's, and brief them on everything they need to know before they arrive at your home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay, which means you'll pay us directly for the hours of care. We're not a medical agency, so traditional insurance doesn't apply the way it does with skilled nursing. We can help you understand what you might be able to claim on taxes or through other resources, and we can work with your family's budget and schedule.
Home health aides are usually sent by a medical agency and cover basic personal care tasks. We're different because we specialize in Parkinson's. Our caregivers understand tremors, fall risk, medication schedules, and the movement challenges specific to this disease. We're trained to watch for patterns and changes that matter, and we're more flexible with scheduling and adjustments.
Yes, that's how we work. We talk with you about what matters most, whether that's someone with experience in mobility support, medication management, or just someone calm and patient. We brief every caregiver on your parent's personality, needs, and specific Parkinson's symptoms before they ever arrive. We're looking for the right fit, not just the first available person.
We'll find a backup caregiver we've already briefed on your parent's needs. We keep you informed and we don't leave you without support. If your parent does better with continuity, we work to keep the same person as much as possible, but we have reliable caregivers ready when schedules shift or emergencies happen.
