A Maryland brand for families who have already chosen home

Free State Home Care connects Maryland families with vetted caregivers. Care is delivered through a licensed Maryland home care agency. Call (301) 686-3016.

Most families who reach us are not shopping for a facility. They have already decided that a parent, a spouse, or a partner belongs in the house they know. What they need is a reliable person in that house — someone who can help with the day, keep company, and notice when something is off — so that decision can actually hold.

Free State Home Care is how Maryland families get that help. We connect families with vetted, background-checked caregivers. Care is delivered through a licensed Maryland home care agency, and a local Maryland care team coordinates the match, the plan, and the schedule. The care itself is non-medical: help with daily living, companionship, and personal care. It is not skilled nursing. Caregivers offer medication reminders and stay in close contact with your family. They do not provide medical treatment.

Because the arrangement is private-pay, it can stay flexible. There is no long-term contract. You can start with a few hours a week and change the plan as needs change. Every family begins with a free in-home consultation.

If you were looking for Freedom Home Care, Free State Health and Wellness, or Free State Primary Care in Gambrills, this is a different organization. This brand is Free State Home Care, (301) 686-3016.

What the care actually is

In-home care, here, means one-to-one support in the home a loved one already lives in. It is not a clinic, and it is not a move. The rooms stay the same. The routines stay the same. The person who comes into the house is chosen for warmth as much as for skill.

What that looks like depends on the household. A full picture is on how we help. In short:

  • Personal care is hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility, and the physical parts of the day that have gotten harder.
  • Companion care is conversation, activities, meals, errands, and real company so a loved one stays engaged.
  • Respite care is trusted, temporary coverage so a family caregiver can rest, work, travel, or simply recharge.
  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s care is patient, specialized support for memory loss — safe routines, familiar comfort, and skilled redirection.
  • 24-hour and live-in care is around-the-clock presence when a loved one can no longer be left alone safely.

Families often combine these rather than picking one label. Morning personal care plus afternoon companionship is common. So is adding respite so the person who has been covering nights can sleep. The plan is built around the actual day in the house, not a catalog package.

Two lines we will keep repeating, because they matter: this is not skilled nursing, and medication support means reminders, not nursing administration. If what you need is medical home health or therapy, say so on the first call. We will not dress that up as something we do.

Four Maryland counties

Coverage is four counties, not the entire state. Caregivers who can actually get to the house, and a care team that knows the communities, are more useful than a statewide promise.

  • Howard County — Columbia, Ellicott City, Elkridge, and nearby.
  • Montgomery County — Rockville, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Germantown, Gaithersburg, and beyond.
  • Anne Arundel County — Annapolis, Glen Burnie, Severna Park, Pasadena, and nearby.
  • Prince George’s County — Bowie, Hyattsville, Upper Marlboro, College Park, Laurel, and nearby.

City-by-city detail lives on areas we serve. If you are not sure whether a neighborhood sits inside those four counties, call. We will tell you plainly.

How a family starts

The first real meeting is in the home

Care plans, scheduling, and pricing are confirmed directly with your family before care begins. We do not publish a rate here, because the right number depends on the level of care and the hours you actually need.

Reach out

Call or text (301) 686-3016, or request a consultation. We respond the same day.

A free in-home visit

We come to the house, learn who your loved one is, and what would actually help — not a generic checklist.

A plan and a match

Hours, tasks, and temperament. The caregiver is chosen to fit the person, not just the calendar.

Care begins

Support can often start within days. There is no long-term commitment. You can adjust hours as needs change.

Who this is for — and who it is not

This is for adult children who cannot be the weekday presence. For spouses who have been doing everything and are running out of sleep. For families facing a hospital discharge, a new memory-loss diagnosis, or the quieter moment when bathing and dressing have become unsafe to do alone. It is for households that want to keep a parent home and need a practical way to do it.

It is not for families who need a nurse in the house, a therapy program, or a residential facility. Those are different decisions. If you are still weighing staying home against a move, the homepage is a fair place to start; the consultation is where we get specific about your loved one’s day.

The work scales. A few mornings a week of personal care is a real plan. So is around-the-clock support when being alone is no longer safe. Because there is no long-term contract, the hours can grow — or shrink — without a new negotiation that feels like starting over.
