We also serve the neighboring communities of Wheaton, Takoma Park, Kensington, Aspen Hill and Burtonsville, and the rest of Montgomery County.

Common questions
How do I get started?
Send us an inquiry using the form on this site and tell us about your needs, location and schedule. Our coordinator records the details, then a registered nurse arranges your free in-home assessment.
What happens during the free RN assessment?
A registered nurse visits to evaluate care needs and home safety, and confirms we can serve you well. From that visit, the nurse writes an individualized plan of care covering services, schedule, costs and responsibilities, which we review with you or your representative.
How much does home care cost, and how do I pay?
Care is private pay. Your rate depends on the services and schedule in your plan of care, and it is confirmed in your written service agreement before care starts. The RN assessment is included at no separate charge. If you have long-term care insurance or other benefits, tell us when you reach out and we’ll talk through your options.
Does your team speak Amharic or Tigrinya?
Yes. Our team speaks Amharic and Tigrinya (Tigrigna) as well as English. Let us know your preferred language when you contact us.
