General Home Care Questions


  • What types of in-home care services do you offer in Maryland?

    We provide a comprehensive range of in-home care services tailored to meet diverse needs. Our services include Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) care, Certified Medication Technician (CMT) support, companion care for seniors, and specialized care for disabled children. We also offer respite and post-hospitalization care.


  • How do you personalize caregiver-client matching?

    Our unique, HR-informed process goes beyond matching skills to ensure a strong, long-lasting relationship. We take into account not just the necessary skills and qualifications, but also the personalities and preferences of both the caregiver and the client. This thoughtful approach fosters a comfortable and trusting environment.


  • Are your home care services covered by insurance or Medicaid in Maryland?

    At this time, our services are primarily private pay. However, we will work closely with you to help you understand available funding options and resources. We can guide you through the process of exploring long-term care insurance or other financial aid programs that may be available to you.

  • What qualifications do your caregivers have?

    The safety and well-being of your loved one is our top priority. All our caregivers are Maryland-licensed, thoroughly background-checked, and professionally trained for their specific roles (CNA, CMT, or companion care). We also provide ongoing training to ensure our team is up-to-date on the latest caregiving best practices.


  • How quickly can service begin after an initial assessment?

    We understand that many families have urgent needs. In most cases, services can begin within 24–72 hours of the initial consultation and assessment. Our goal is to provide a seamless and rapid transition to care, giving you peace of mind as quickly as possible.


CNA & CMT Services


  • What tasks can a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) provide at home?

    Our CNAs provide hands-on assistance with essential daily living activities. This includes help with bathing, grooming, dressing, meal preparation, personal hygiene, and safe mobility. They can also assist with transfers and provide support during post-surgery recovery.


  • Can CNAs assist with medication reminders and mobility support?

    Yes. While CNAs cannot directly administer medications, they are able to provide safe reminders and ensure a person is taking their medication as prescribed. They also provide crucial mobility support, helping to reduce the risk of falls and promoting independence.


  • What does a Certified Medication Technician (CMT) do?

    A CMT is trained to manage and administer prescribed medications, ensuring the correct dosages are given at the proper times. They can also apply topical treatments and monitor a client’s dosage schedules, all while working in collaboration with their healthcare providers.


  • Can a CMT coordinate with nurses and doctors about care plans?

    Yes. Our CMTs are a vital link in the care chain. They communicate directly with doctors and nurses, providing updates on a client's health and ensuring that families stay informed about any changes to medical instructions or care plans.


  • Is CMT care available for disabled children as well as elderly adults?

    Absolutely. Our CMTs are trained and experienced in working with clients of all ages. They are equipped to provide safe and reliable medication support for both seniors and children who require it.

Hospice Care


  • What is hospice care, and how is it different from regular home care?

    Hospice care focuses on comfort, dignity, and quality of life for individuals with a terminal illness. Unlike standard home care, hospice emphasizes symptom management, emotional support, and compassionate end-of-life care for both clients and families.

  • Do you work with hospice providers in Maryland?

    Yes. We often collaborate with local hospice agencies to provide non-medical support alongside clinical hospice services. This includes personal care, companionship, respite care for family caregivers, and household assistance.

  • Can hospice care be provided at home instead of a facility?

    Yes. Many families choose to receive hospice care at home to ensure loved ones remain in a familiar, comforting environment. Our caregivers provide round-the-clock support as needed, helping clients and families find peace and comfort at home.

Palliative Care


  • How does palliative care differ from hospice care?

    Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness, even during active treatment. Unlike hospice, it is not limited to end-of-life care. The focus is on symptom relief, stress reduction, and improving overall quality of life for clients and families.

  • What services are included in your palliative care support?

    Our caregivers assist with personal care, medication reminders, mobility support, companionship, and coordination with medical providers. We also provide family support, helping reduce stress and creating a safe, balanced home environment.

  • Who can benefit from palliative care at home?

    Palliative care is ideal for individuals managing chronic illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, COPD, or neurological conditions. It is also helpful for families seeking holistic, compassionate support alongside ongoing medical treatment.

Disabled Children Care


  • How do you support families caring for a child with disabilities at home?

    We provide comprehensive in-home care tailored to each child’s unique needs—whether physical, developmental, or cognitive. Our caregivers work closely with families and therapists to support daily routines, therapy exercises, and social engagement, while ensuring safety and comfort at home.


  • Do your caregivers receive special training for children with disabilities?

    Yes. Our caregivers are trained in disability-specific care, including mobility assistance, adaptive communication methods, and behavior support strategies. This training helps us create a nurturing environment that promotes independence and enhances quality of life.

  • Can disabled children’s care be scheduled around school and therapy sessions?

    Absolutely. We build flexible care schedules to complement your child’s education and therapy routines. Whether before school, after school, or during weekends, our goal is to provide consistent support without disrupting progress.
