Your Family Deserves More Than a Staffing Agency

The Crisis Moment

Your parent fell. They were just discharged. Health declined suddenly. You need someone there NOW — not in 3-5 business days.

The Revolving Door

Most agencies send whoever is available. New face every week. 80% annual caregiver turnover. No continuity. No relationship.

The Sleepless Nights

You lie awake wondering if your parent is safe. If the caregiver showed up. If anyone would notice if something went wrong at 2am.

MCM Is Different. Here's How.

We're not a staffing agency. We're your family's private care partner.

Same-Day Crisis Response

When the call comes, we show up. Same day. Our clinical team assesses your loved one, inspects the home for safety, and a hand-matched caregiver starts within hours.

NP-Led Clinical Oversight

MCM was founded by Andrea Kohn, CRNP. Every care plan is clinically supervised. Medication management, condition monitoring, and care adjustments — not just warm bodies in shifts.

Hand-Matched Caregivers Who Become Family

We don't send whoever is available. We match your loved one with a caregiver based on personality, skills, and connection. The same team stays for years.

From First Call to Final Days

MCM doesn't disappear when things get hard. We stay through escalating conditions, end-of-life care, and everything in between. We attend memorial services. That's who we are.

Two Models of 24-Hour Care

Shift Care

Two or three caregivers rotate in 8-12 hour shifts. Someone is always awake, always alert. Best for clients who need active overnight monitoring — dementia wandering, fall risk, or complex medical needs.

Best for: Advanced dementia, high fall risk, post-hospital recovery

Live-In Care

One caregiver lives in the home full-time, with a private room and sleep period. They're there around the clock but sleep at night. Best for clients who are mostly stable but need someone present 24/7.

Best for: Companionship, light overnight needs, aging in place

Not sure which model is right? Call us. Andrea will assess your loved one's needs and recommend the right level of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my parent needs 24-hour care?

If your loved one has advanced dementia with wandering risk, a history of falls, needs help with basic activities throughout the day and night, or was recently discharged from the hospital with complex care needs — 24-hour care provides the safety and oversight they need. Andrea, our nurse practitioner, will assess your loved one and recommend the right level of care.

What is the difference between shift care and live-in care?

Shift care uses two or three caregivers rotating in 8-12 hour shifts, so someone is always awake and alert. Live-in care means one caregiver stays in the home full-time with a sleep period at night. Shift care is better for active overnight needs (dementia, fall risk); live-in is better for stable clients who need 24/7 presence.

Can care start the same day?

Yes. MCM provides same-day crisis response. When your family calls, we respond immediately — Andrea assesses your loved one, Steve inspects the home for safety, and a hand-matched caregiver can start within hours. We have placed caregivers within 24 hours even during the COVID aide shortage.

What does 24-hour home care cost in Montgomery County?

Cost depends on the level of care needed — shift care vs. live-in, medical complexity, and hours. We work with long-term care insurance and private pay. MCM helps families navigate LTC insurance claims and maximize benefits. Call for a free consultation to discuss your specific situation.

Are your caregivers background-checked and trained?

Every MCM caregiver is thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and matched to your loved one based on skills, personality, and care needs. Our caregivers are supervised by Andrea Kohn, CRNP, who provides ongoing clinical oversight, training, and medication management.
