Call (475) 264-4830 Learn how it works
Parkinson’s Care is in-home support built around the specific challenges your parent faces right now. We’re talking about helping with tremors that make dressing difficult, steadying them as they move through the house to prevent falls, keeping track of medication schedules that can get confusing, and just being present during the times when mobility feels harder than usual. Our caregivers aren’t nurses in scrubs, but they know Parkinson’s from the inside.
On a typical day, this means helping your parent with personal care, preparing meals they’ll actually eat, reminding them about medications at the right times, and being alert to changes in balance or mood. It’s about letting them stay in their own home, in the routines they’ve built, while having someone who understands the disease itself. You’ll see your parent more settled, less afraid of falling alone, and more confident getting through the day.
We’re a nurse-founded agency, which means we understand what happens when your parent comes home from Day Kimball Hospital after a procedure or a fall, and you’re not sure how to manage the next weeks or months. That nursing background shows up in how we listen, how we catch small changes early, and how we talk to you about what we’re seeing. Woodstock families call us because we’re local, we know this area, and we’ve been through similar situations ourselves.
Our founder and care leaders have experience with Parkinson’s in their own families. We understand tremors, the fear of falls, the way mobility can change week to week, and how easy it is to miss a dose or forget what day you’re on. That’s not theoretical knowledge. It shapes how we hire, train, and match caregivers.
We don’t send someone random. We listen to what your parent needs, what their personality is like, what time of day is hardest, and then we match them with someone who gets it. We brief every caregiver fully on Parkinson’s specifics and your parent’s habits. That work on the front end means the relationship works.
Parkinson’s doesn’t follow a schedule. We stay reachable when your parent has a hard day, when you notice something new, or when you need to adjust the plan. You’re not calling a call center. You’re calling people who know your family.
We know Day Kimball Hospital’s discharge process. We’re familiar with the doctors and facilities here. We work with families in Pomfret, Thompson, Eastford, and Union the same way we work in Woodstock, because this is where we live and practice.

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.

You get the same consistent caregiver, matched by a nurse, not whoever happens to be available.
Common questions
A caregiver helps with bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal care. They prepare meals and remind your parent to eat. They manage the medication schedule and watch for any tremors or balance changes throughout the day. They help with light housekeeping, errands, and being a steady presence during the times your parent feels most unsteady. Every day is a little different, and we stay flexible.
We can often start within a few days of discharge. We work with the hospital's discharge team to get the information we need. We meet with your family to understand what your parent needs, and then we match and brief the right caregiver. If it's urgent, we move fast, because we know that the days right after coming home are when your parent needs the most support.
Parkinson's Care is private pay. It's not a medical service, so Medicare and most insurance plans don't cover it. We work with families on rates that work for their situation. Some families use long-term care insurance or personal resources. We can talk through what makes sense for you and what help might be available.
A home health aide is ordered by a doctor and is medical care, usually covered by insurance. Parkinson's Care is private pay, built around your parent's daily life and specific needs. We can work alongside medical care, but we're focused on helping your parent stay independent and safe at home. We're not taking vital signs, but we're alert to changes and we talk to you about what we see.
Yes. We take time to understand your parent's personality, their preferences, what times of day are hardest, and what matters most to them. Then we find someone whose experience and temperament fit. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. We also cover all areas of Woodstock, from Route 44 to the neighborhoods near Day Kimball, so proximity and familiarity matter too.
We have a backup plan. We notify you as soon as we know there's a change, and we send someone from our team who's trained and briefed on your parent's needs. We don't leave you hanging. If it's a longer absence, we work to get your regular caregiver back as soon as possible, because consistency matters with Parkinson's.
