How It Works
- Step 1
Get Clarity
A free 20-minute call, same day. We listen first. Then we tell you what we'd actually do if it were our mom or dad. If home care isn't the right answer for your family, we'll say so.
- Step 2
Get Confidence
A free, private in-home assessment by an MCM registered nurse, included with your care plan initiation before care begins. She builds a customized Foundations of Wellness plan of care, designed around how your mom or dad actually wants to live at home, not just the tasks they need help with.
- Step 3
Get Started
Your caregivers are hand-matched to your needs, backed by an RN and a care coordination team. Care starts within days, sometimes the same night. Andrea Kohn, MCM's founder and a geriatric psychiatry NP, leads the RNs who build and update every care plan.
Why MCM Is Different
Why MCM Is Different.
MCM is independently owned by Andrea and Steve Kohn. Andrea is a nurse practitioner specializing in geriatric psychiatry, which is why every MCM care plan is built by someone who's spent decades on the hard parts of aging: dementia, behavioral changes, and the questions families don't know who to ask.
- Ownership: husband and wife, family-owned and operated since 2004
- Clinical oversight: Nurse Practitioner and team of RNs oversee every plan
- Caregiver matching: hand-matched to your parent's personality, condition, and family
- Complex cases: agitated dementia, post-hospital crisis, end-of-life. We help families in all situations
- First call: Steve picks up
- Caregiver continuity: same team for years. Multiple 10+ year clients
- Care Quality Guarantee: we replace without question, for as long as you're an MCM family
- Insurance: we navigate the long-term care insurance paperwork for you

That's the difference between just a staffing agency and a private home care partner.
Choosing How to Care for Your Loved One is Hard Alone. Make It Easy with a Trusted Care Partner.
You're not shopping for an agency. You're looking for someone who's done this 1,000+ times in Montgomery County and will know your mom or dad by name.
Companion Care
“Mom is alone too much. She’s lonely and the days are getting long.” Companion care, meals, light housekeeping, and the company that keeps a parent engaged.
Post-Hospital Recovery
“Dad’s being discharged tomorrow with six new medications and a walker.” Medication management, mobility support, and the Nurse Practitioner oversight that prevents readmission.
Aging in Place
“Mom wants to stay in her own home. We need to make sure she can do so safely.” Daily routines, fall prevention, home safety, and a caregiver team that meets her needs as she improves.
Dementia and Memory Care
“Mom is wandering and combative. The memory care facility says they can’t manage her.” Agitated and psychotic dementia. The cases nobody else takes. A Nurse Practitioner with a specialty in geriatric psychiatry who oversees every behavior plan.
End-of-Life at Home
“We promised Dad we would do our best to have him pass at home. We need help keeping that promise.” Collaboration with hospice, family support, and being present at the times it matters most.
Respite for Family Caregivers
“I’m the one taking care of Mom and I’m burning out.” Short-term and ongoing relief, so the family caregiver gets to be a son or daughter again.
Post-Fall and Mobility Decline
“Mom fell. She’s home now but she’s scared, and so are we.” Fall recovery, strength and mobility progress, home modifications, and the reassurance that a competent professional caregiver is in the house.
Chronic Condition Management
“Dad has CHF, COPD, and diabetes. The home medication routine has been a huge challenge for us.” Medication organization and management, vital sign monitoring, condition tracking, and direct communication with his doctors.
Complex Cases Nobody Else Will Take
“Other agencies said ‘no’. We don’t know where to turn.” MCM Private Care; 23 years of taking the cases other agencies turn down.
