Families in and around Montgomery County have called MCM first for 23 years. Over 1,000 moms and dads cared for at home.
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.
“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.
“Dad’s being discharged tomorrow with six new medications and a walker.” Medication management, mobility support, and the Nurse Practitioner oversight that prevents readmission.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.
“Other agencies said ‘no’. We don’t know where to turn.” MCM Private Care; 23 years of taking the cases other agencies turn down.
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.
That's the difference between just a staffing agency and a private home care partner.
Minimum 8 hours per week
Daytime help, respite, post-discharge transition, a few shifts per week.
Round-the-clock continuity
Dementia, post-hospital crisis, end-of-life, round-the-clock continuity.
Pricing is built around your parent's care requirements. We accept long-term care insurance and private pay. Plus, we help navigate the paperwork for you.
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.
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.
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.
Most of the families we've served for 23 years tell us the same thing.
“My only regret is that I didn't start sooner.”
The fall. The ER trip. The burnout. All avoidable.
Assisted living and memory care in Montgomery County run anywhere from $9,000 to $20,000+ per month. Facilities cannot offer one-to-one care and very few offer the oversight of a highly experienced Nurse Practitioner. A move to memory care can average $150,000 or more per year and removes your loved one from their home.
One hospitalization from a clinical mistake can cost $25,000 or more. Something as simple as a medication error that could have gotten caught on day 1 or 2 instead of day 30. A readmission that didn't have to happen.
One in four adults 65 and older has a fall every year. The CDC reports one million fall-related hospitalizations among older adults annually, with the average hospital cost for a fall-related injury at $35,000.¹
No licensure, no backup, no oversight, most importantly, no workers compensation insurance. One injury in the home and the family is on the hook for the medical bills, lost wages, and the legal exposure.
78 percent of family caregivers report burnout. 60 percent rate their situation as moderately to highly stressful. The average family caregiver spends nearly 5 hours a day and $7,242 a year providing care.²
A loved one who gets to stay at home, not in a facility
A registered nurse or nurse practitioner catching what could have been the next crisis
One caregiver team who learns your loved one's name, routine, and rhythm
A family that sleeps at night because a professional, competent caregiver is in the house
A 2 a.m. emergency answered by the local care coordination team, not an answering service
Long-term care insurance navigated for you, not against you
