In Home Care for Parkinson's Patients
Living with Parkinson’s disease presents unique challenges that can feel overwhelming, both for those diagnosed and their families.
Whether you’re navigating the early stages of Parkinson’s or seeking specialized aged care support for advanced symptoms, having a licensed nurse in your home can make all the difference in maintaining independence and quality of life.
At NurseRegistry, we understand that Parkinson’s affects each person differently. The progressive nature of the disease means that symptoms like tremors, rigid muscles, and balance problems can change over time, requiring adaptable, professional care from experienced healthcare providers.
This is why we exclusively match you with licensed registered nurses (RNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) who have specialized experience in Parkinson’s care.
When Parkinson’s changes everything, private nursing care helps you maintain what matters most – your independence and quality of life at home.
For many families, the decision to seek in-home nursing care comes at a crucial moment.
You might notice your loved one struggling with daily activities that were once simple – getting dressed, preparing meals, or moving safely around the home.
The unpredictable nature of Parkinson’s symptoms can make it difficult to maintain a consistent routine, and the fear of falls or other complications often creates anxiety for both patients and family caregivers.
Many of our clients come to us when they realize that general caregiving support isn’t enough. Parkinson’s disease requires skilled nursing oversight, especially when it comes to medication management, monitoring symptoms, and coordinating with other healthcare providers.
This is where NurseRegistry’s specialized approach makes a significant difference.

Benefits of NurseRegistry
1. Compassionate Nursing Care
We are committed to providing PD patients with high-end in-home nursing care that is compassionate and patient-focused. In fact, we intentionally do not staff CNAs, general caregivers, techs, or other medical professionals.
Your Parkinson’s aged care is tailored to assist you in medication management, fall prevention and safety, assistance with daily tasks, symptom monitoring, and more. This comprehensive service guarantees that your loved one’s health and well-being are expertly handled, filling a key gap that caretakers alone cannot cover.
2. Patient Privacy
NurseRegistry understands and respects your desire for complete privacy. Your file and relationship with NurseRegistry are kept compliant and strictly confidential.
We do offer NDAs upon request and all of our employees are trained in HIPAA Compliance.
3. Highly Specialized Care
Care for Parkinson’s patients is very specific and nuanced, including communication challenges, sleep and nighttime monitoring, movement considerations, and strict medication regimens.
At NurseRegistry, our nurses are skilled and experienced in areas such as private antibiotic infusions, peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) infusions, and 24/7 post-surgery care.
4. Confident Medicine Adminstration
Caregivers are wonderful, but there are certain limitations when it comes to a general caregiver vs. a private nurse. For instance, in-home nurses are able to administer injections and IV infusions. Home health aides cannot do this.
5. Flexible Scheduling
Insurance restrictions never apply to you. Private nursing care from NurseRegistry can be added in addition to home health or any other insured services.
Private nursing services offer more qualified and compatible matches while maintaining scheduling flexibility. Given the intensity of symptoms, the flexibility NurseRegisty offers is vital for PD patients.
6. Nurse Availability
Part of the perk of receiving at home nursing care for Parkinson’s Disease is you receive a nurse exactly when you need a nurse. We can successfully accomplish scheduling flexibility due to our massive partnership with 500+ specialized and licensed per diem nurses.
This allows the NurseRegistry to be diligent and thoughtful when we match our clients with private nurses, and we always consider skill set, age, gender, and personality.
