The Bethesda home care problem
Bethesda families have unique needs — proximity to top-tier hospitals (Suburban, Sibley), complex medical conditions, and high expectations for caregiver quality. Standard staffing agencies, even the franchise giants, send rotating aides with no medical oversight. MCM was built for the families who needed something better.

The MCM difference
“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.”
John Stohlman, a Certified Financial Planner of 35 years who advises families on home care decisions professionally, also chose MCM for his own 90-year-old mother when she needed 24-hour memory care. When the people who advise everyone else choose MCM for their own families, that's the proof.
The same caregiver. Year after year. Knowing your loved one's coffee order, their stories, their fears. Not a feature — the whole product.
With Suburban and Sibley discharges, you need real medical advocacy. Andrea oversees every plan. Most agencies don't even employ a nurse.
Bethesda families don't have time for the standard agency 'we'll get back to you in 48 hours.' Crisis-on-call is the entire reason MCM exists.
Bethesda home care · FAQs
Bethesda families have access to standard home care agencies, facility-based care, and a small number of premium concierge home care firms. MCM Private Care is the only NP-founded option, family-run since 2004, hand-matching caregivers and overseeing care plans with a Nurse Practitioner. We serve Bethesda zip codes 20814, 20816, 20817, 20892, and coordinate with Suburban Hospital and Sibley Memorial.
Three questions to ask before signing anything. (1) Do you employ a Nurse Practitioner who writes and adjusts the care plan? Most agencies don't. (2) Is the caregiver hand-matched to my family, or rotated from a staffing pool? Rotating staff is the #1 complaint in home care. (3) What's the crisis-response SLA? If the answer isn't "same day," assume it's days. MCM is yes-yes-yes on all three. Twenty-two years. 1,000+ Montgomery County families. Andrea Kohn, CRNP, founder.
Yes. MCM is one of the most active home care firms working with Suburban Hospital discharge planners in Bethesda. We've coordinated post-discharge care from Suburban for hundreds of families since 2004, plus Sibley Memorial. Same-day caregiver placement is standard. Andrea Kohn, our co-founder NP, oversees the care plan, which our NP team adjusts to match the hospital's recommendations.
MCM hourly rates range from $35 to $43 per hour depending on shift complexity, with a 4-hour minimum. Long-term care insurance is accepted; MCM handles the claim navigation. Total cost depends on hours — a part-time companion program (12-20 hours/week) might run $2,000–$3,500/month; full-time 24-hour care runs $15,000–$25,000/month. That's substantially below a Bethesda memory care facility ($11,500–$13,000/month for shared room, often without medical advocacy or hand-matched care).
Yes. Every MCM caregiver is W-2 employed (not 1099), fully insured, bonded, background-checked through a multi-state registry, and supervised by our Nurse Practitioner team. We never use 1099 contractors — the staffing-agency loophole that puts families at legal and care-quality risk.
Same-day for crisis situations.
