Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is home support built around the real challenges your parent faces each day. We help with tremors that make simple tasks harder, falls that happen faster than you’d expect, the mobility decline that sneaks up on everyone, and medication schedules that are easy to miss when you’re managing it alone. Our caregivers show up knowing what to watch for and how to help your parent stay safe at home.
On any given day, this might mean helping with balance during walks around the neighborhood, reminding about medications at the right times, assisting with personal care when tremors make things difficult, or just being present to catch a fall before it happens. We also track changes and keep you in the loop so you’re not guessing about what’s happening when you’re not there.
If your parent recently came home from Johnson Memorial Hospital or is managing Parkinson’s here in Willington, you need someone local who gets both the condition and the community. We’re nurse-founded, which means our whole approach comes from medical training and real experience, not just training manuals. That background shapes how we match caregivers and how we respond when things change.
We started this because we saw families struggling with Parkinson’s care that felt generic and disconnected. Our nursing background means we understand tremors, falls, mobility decline, and medication safety in ways that matter. We’re not learning on the job, we’re bringing experience from the start.
We don’t just send someone over. We listen to what your parent needs, what worries you most, and what your family’s rhythm looks like. Then we match a caregiver who understands Parkinson’s and fits your home, and we brief them thoroughly so they’re ready from day one.
Parkinson’s can shift unexpectedly, and you need to reach someone who gets it. We stay available when you need adjustments, questions, or just reassurance. We’re not a call center, we’re a team that knows your parent.
We know Willington, Tolland, Stafford, Ashford, and Mansfield. We understand the Johnson Memorial Hospital discharge process and local resources. Being here means we show up faster and we understand the landscape your parent lives in.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver helps with personal care, mobility assistance, fall prevention, and medication reminders. They might help your parent get dressed, assist with a walk, prepare lunch, ensure medications are taken on schedule, and watch for tremors or balance issues that need attention. We also note changes in mood, appetite, or symptoms so you're always informed. The exact routine depends on your parent's needs and your family's schedule.
We can often start within a few days of your parent coming home. We work with hospital discharge planners and understand the urgency of post-discharge support for Parkinson's patients. Our process is simple: we talk to you about what you need, match a caregiver, brief them on your parent's specific situation, and get them in place while your parent is adjusting to being home.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. We're not billing insurance or Medicare because that keeps us flexible and focused on what your parent actually needs, not what insurance decides to cover. We work with families directly on pricing and can discuss payment arrangements that work for your situation. Many families find it's worth the investment compared to skipping care or managing everything on their own.
Home health aides through medical agencies follow doctor's orders and focus on medical tasks. Parkinson's Care is different: we start with understanding your parent's whole life and what makes Parkinson's harder for them specifically. Our caregivers have deeper training in Parkinson's safety, tremor management, and fall prevention. We're also more flexible about adjusting to changes and staying reachable when you need us.
Yes. We listen to what matters most: your parent's personality, their specific Parkinson's challenges, whether they prefer morning or afternoon support, any other care needs, and what kind of person your parent trusts. We then match a caregiver who fits, brief them on your parent's exact situation, and make sure they're set up to succeed from day one. If it's not the right fit, we adjust.
We have backup coverage because we know you can't just skip a day. If your regular caregiver is sick or can't make it, we find a replacement who understands your parent's care plan. We let you know as soon as we can and make sure the backup is fully briefed. We're small enough to care about consistency but resourced enough to handle surprises.
