Working To Keep Clients Independent
in Their Own Homes since 1983
Home Care Program
Case Management, homemaker service, assistive devices
and other support services are provided to help maintain
seniors in their homes.  Senior and disabled adults
receive two to eight hours of weekly homemaker service
from certified aides who help with cleaning, laundry, and
personal care.  Free goods and services such as food,
bathroom equipment and assistive devices help our
clients meet basic needs and remain independent.  
Volunteers telephone the elders and help in other ways.

"Over the past four years, this program has provided my uncle a prolonged life . . . Without these
services I sincerely believe that he would not be here with us today.  Being able to live
independently as long as he can has been satisfying, and many thanks are owed to the help of
Elderly Ministries." --Susan Cohen, Rockville resident
