How the 48-Hour Matching Process Works
Our free matching service for Baltimore families follows four steps: a short care form, screening for dementia care experience, 3 to 5 video profiles sent within 48 hours, and your choice of whom to meet after you watch each interview.
You stay in control. We do not assign a caregiver until you have watched the video interviews and decided whom you want to meet.
Start With a Short Care Form
The process starts with a short care form that describes who needs help, what a typical day looks like, and which hours you want covered at home in Baltimore.
Tell us whether you are looking for companion care, hands-on personal care, 24-hour live-in care, or a short break through respite care. If someone is coming home after a hospital stay, note that so we can consider hospital discharge care. The form is brief so you can request help without a long application.
Caregivers Screened for Dementia Care Experience
We screen caregivers for dementia care experience before we send profiles to any Baltimore family.
That screen looks at whether the caregiver has supported people living with dementia. Families watch each caregiver's video interview before deciding whom to meet. The video interview is the proof. When you meet someone, ask any caregiver or agency about background checks, licensing, and training.
Watch 3 to 5 Video Profiles Within 48 Hours
Within 48 hours of your form, we send 3 to 5 video profiles of caregivers screened for dementia care experience.
Each profile includes a video interview so you can hear how the caregiver speaks, how they describe dementia care, and whether their manner feels like a fit for your household. Watch every interview at your own pace. Then decide whom, if anyone, you want to meet in person or by phone.
You Choose Whom to Meet
After you watch the interviews, you decide which caregiver you want to meet, if you want to meet anyone at all.
There is no fee for matching and no obligation to hire. If the first set of profiles is not the right fit, tell us what you want to change. Many families use this step to compare options for memory care at home before they commit.
Why Baltimore Families Seek Care at Home
Baltimore has 86,161 residents aged 65 and over, 9,515 residents aged 85 and over, 34,122 senior households where someone 65 or older lives alone, and a median household income of $59,623, according to the U.S. Census ACS 5-Year Estimates.
Dementia is a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life, and it can affect memory, thinking, and everyday function, as described by the CDC overview of dementia.
When those changes make household routines harder, families often look for in-home dementia care in Baltimore so a familiar setting remains possible. This page does not diagnose dementia or recommend a treatment. Talk with a clinician about symptoms and next medical steps.
