Today, our team of 156 certified caregivers delivers personalized, RN-supervised care to families across Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Every care plan is created under the guidance of a registered nurse and tailored to meet the unique physical, emotional, and social needs of each client.
From your first call to ongoing care, we make the process easy, transparent, and centered around your family's needs.

Real stories from real families who trust GentleHandsCare with the people who matter most to them.
"GentleHandsCare has been caring for my mother for 14 months now, providing 30 hours of care per week. Her caregiver, Maria, has become like family. Mom's mobility has improved dramatically, and she's eating better and smiling more. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with her care."
"After my father's hip replacement, we needed 24-hour care for 6 weeks. GentleHandsCare had a caregiver at our home within 36 hours. They coordinated everything with his physical therapist, and Dad was back on his feet 2 weeks ahead of schedule. The weekly check-ins from the care manager gave us real peace of mind."
"We've used GentleHandsCare for over 2 years for my grandmother who has early-stage Alzheimer's. She receives 20 hours of care per week, and her caregiver speaks both English and Amharic, which means so much to our family. Grandma is calmer, more engaged, and her episodes have decreased noticeably."
