How we walk alongside you

Care that fits your person.

Parkinson’s changes what daily life asks of a person. A caregiver provides the steady, calm support that makes movement, meals and routines safer and less frustrating.

We work alongside your therapy plan and family so progress at the clinic carries over at home.

Signs it may be time for Parkinson's care at home

  • Walking has become slower or less steady, and you notice more shuffling, freezing in doorways, or near-falls around the house.
  • Mealtimes take much longer or turn frustrating, and eating enough has become a daily worry.
  • Keeping medications on schedule is getting harder, and doses are sometimes missed or taken twice.
  • Everyday tasks like buttoning a shirt, rising from a chair, or getting to the bathroom now take real effort.
  • Your loved one is pulling back from activities they used to enjoy, worn down by the extra effort or afraid of falling.

Noticing one or two of these does not mean a decision has to be made today. It simply means it may be time for a conversation.

We send more than caregivers. We send good listeners, gentle hands, people who notice the small things: the favorite teacup, the afternoon light, the stories told twice and loved twice.

In-home support from Golden Touch, parkinson’s care

The small things,
done with care.

Parkinson's rarely looks the same from one day to the next, and that unpredictability is often the hardest part for a family to manage. A caregiver who knows your loved one learns their rhythm, moving at their pace on the slower mornings and stepping back on the days they feel strong. Because timing matters so much, we keep medication reminders on a consistent schedule and stay close during transfers, the walk to the bathroom and mealtimes, when a steady hand prevents the small stumbles that shake a person's confidence. The goal is never to take over, but to make it safer to keep doing the things that still feel like their own.

  • Safe mobility and transfer help
  • Steady support at mealtimes
  • Medication reminders on schedule
  • Fall prevention throughout the home
  • Encouragement to keep active

Good questions

Parkinson's care questions Hartford families ask

How quickly can Parkinson's care start at home?

In most cases care can begin within 24 hours, and even sooner when it follows a hospital discharge. On your first call, our Care Coordinator listens to what your loved one needs day to day and matches a caregiver who fits. We serve families across Greater Hartford and much of Connecticut, and our Care Coordinator answers 24/7.

What does Parkinson's care cost, and how can we pay for it?

We do not name a rate before we understand the schedule and the kind of support your loved one needs, so you will get a clear quote on your first call with no surprises. Families pay through private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits and Medicaid, subject to verification. There is a four-hour minimum per visit.

What if the caregiver is not the right fit for my parent?

Fit matters, especially when someone is coming into your parent's home and helping with such personal moments. Golden Touch is a licensed, bonded and insured Connecticut homemaker and companion agency, and if a caregiver is not the right match we will re-match at no charge. You are never locked into a person who does not feel right for your family.

Are you a home health agency, or something different?

We are something different. Golden Touch is a non-medical homemaker and companion agency, which means we do not perform skilled tasks. Our caregivers focus on safe mobility, steady help at meals, medication reminders, fall prevention and encouragement to stay active, and we are glad to work alongside your loved one's own doctor and therapy plan so progress carries over at home.

Can a caregiver help with the timing of Parkinson's medications?

Yes. Consistent timing makes a real difference with Parkinson's, so our caregivers give medication reminders on the schedule your loved one and their doctor have set. We remind and encourage, we do not administer doses or change them. If something seems off, we will let you and your family know right away so the right person can step in.
