I cannot say enough wonderful things about Comfort Home Care. A family member became ill suddenly,…read moreand I called them from the hospital on a Friday evening. I heard back from Crystal almost immediately and she could not have been more professional, helpful, and caring. She was careful to get all the information she needed, including what would be most useful for my family member, but was incredibly efficient. We needed home care the next day and she set everything up within a few hours. The following morning the most extraordinary aide came to spend the day with my family member. Professional, kind, and skilled, she went above and beyond to be helpful and was truly a lifesaver. From the moment I called and throughout our entire experience with them, we felt taken care of and cared for. Though my family member is feeling much better now and no longer needs care, we feel so lucky to have their number at hand if and when we should ever need them again. It's really scary when you need this kind of support last minute. They truly are a comfort. Highly recommend.

Mom has Alzheimer's and I'm her primary caregiver; we live together. I've used 3 different agencies…read morewhen I needed additional help. My experience with the first two agencies was frankly terrible, and it drove me to put in a LOT of effort and time into finding individuals I could hire directly. But when my own knee surgery resulted in a short-term need, it seemed a good opportunity to try another agency. I'm so glad that I did! Assisting Hands is now part of my long-term strategy for making this care arrangement work as long as it possibly can. A geriatric care manager -- in a position to know about many different agencies -- recommended Assisting Hands to me. From the start it has been a significantly different and better experience than working with other agencies. They are large enough to truly have their act together, yet small enough to be incredibly personable and accessible. Their caring, responsiveness, flexibility and efficiency are truly fantastic. They get the big important things right: they ask smart questions and truly listen to your answers to try to find people ideally suited to your needs; they have a large pool of truly qualified people to draw from; they work really hard to have one caregiver cover as many of your requested shifts as possible even when it's a non-standard, changeable schedule; they don't pressure you for more hours than you need, nor pass you from one administrator to another every week; they don't artificially jack up prices when they hear desperation in your voice or shame and blame you when a caregiver doesn't fit your needs. They also get the secondary details right: they are always reachable, their response time is incredible, their nurse does an intake in the least obtrusive way possible and even then only when required by Maryland state law or the tasks involved, caregivers can login via an app that utilizes GPS for an efficient time card system, they can help with longterm care insurance reimbursement, and paying invoices is a snap online. I really couldn't ask for more. They get my highest recommendation...and my continued business!

After losing both of our parents this year, care was a big deal and a huge part of the equation…read more We worked with 3 different agencies, and only wish we'd met Steve & Andrea sooner, because beyond my spreadsheet audit of features offered by many, many different options, our family truly fell in love with the incredible guidance, care, compassion, assistance, top level help, and on and on, that they facilitated for us. I was instantly comfortable with their management approach, their medical expertise, their wealth of information & resources, their creativity in solving problems, their generosity of time and senior product sourcing, and more. Most importantly, I was truly touched by all of the heart that went into not only meeting my dad, assessing his needs, detailing and implementing some very creative medical and home comfort solutions, and making a very difficult path in life eased by support and compassion at every step. My wonderful dad, who wanted anything BUT around the clock care, was very skeptical at first, and assured us all that he didn't need any help. By the end, he was calling his aide "his buddy," was telling jokes and showing extreme gratitude to the whole team, and not only accepted his need for help, but realized he was getting the best help possible. Also - they literally meet you where you are in the process. I'm super organized and made my own spreadsheets for tracking medicines & daily routines, but Andrea provided invaluable guidance on how to optimize Dad's care from every possible angle. Steve did a home safety inspection before Dad came home to ensure Dad was safe at home. They did so much for us... I cannot recommend Medical Consulting & Management highly enough. Don't wait to call; don't bother researching competitors; there's no one like them in town. Trust me, I did the research; I have the spreadsheets to prove it; I would call them in an instant if I ever needed help for a loved one.

WOW!!! JUST WOW~!!! I came here for the open house and…read moretoured the facility. I think it's pretty safe to say it's a one of a kind (if not the only) non-profit organization / facility that allows you to drop off your child(ren) with special needs, for a day or two on the weekend to allow the parents some time of respite. Absolutely love their mission and the fact that they care specifically for an otherwise marginalized population. They have three "lodges" each with 10 rooms (half singles, half doubles), outdoor playground, pool, indoor gymnasium, chapel, a variety of rooms for computers, music, arts & crafts, sensory stimulation and quite rooms. And practically everything has a theme. It really does look like a kids' paradise...and hopefully it will be. You'll need to register on their website to utilize their services.

Unconditional love…read more As cheesy as it may sound, this place oozes unconditional love for children with special needs. From the carefully thought-out interior decor to the doting, compassionate staff, Jill's House is one of the most tangible manifestations of love for a group of children often overlooked by the general public. Jill's House is an overnight respite home for special-needs children. For the kids, it's like a fun sleepover - there's a music room with musical instruments, sing-a-long DVDs, and space to dance, a technology room with touch-screen computers, an art room, a gym, an indoor pool, a playground, and nature-themed "pods" with more games, puzzles, toys, video games, and even a movie screen (tell me you didn't have to take a breath in between reading that list). For the hard-working parents (for whom I have such great respect and admiration), it's a chance for them to have a night to themselves. Furthermore, Jill's House is an incredibly safe place for these children. The intake coordinators are very detailed in recording each individual child's diet restrictions, medical concerns, and methods of communication. They also make sure to give the parents (and the child) a tour of the facility beforehand. The intake coordinators, then, propagate all of this information to the staff who work directly with the children. Now, the staff are a group of people who are not only efficient caretakers, but are also genuinely loving people. It's apparent that the children quickly form bonds with the staff and recognize them when they return. It's heartwarming to witness. I could go on and on, but (as another review has pointed out) it might be easier to just visit the website or call. Ultimately, this facility houses an amazing group of workers and a precious group of kids.
