Professional Relief for Family Caregivers: RN-Supervised Support You Can Trust


Introduction: The Need for Rest- Caring for an aging parent or a loved one with chronic health needs is an act of love, but it is also a demanding full-time job. In Pikesville and across Baltimore County, family caregivers often find themselves overwhelmed, balancing their own lives with the high-level needs of those they love.

At Jamhuri Healthcare Services, we believe that to provide the best care, you must first care for yourself. Our professional In-Home Respite Care is designed to give you the break you deserve—whether it’s for a few hours a week or an extended period—ensuring your loved one remains safe, comfortable, and cared for in the home they love.

The Jamhuri Difference: RN-Led Consultations

Unlike many national agencies, Jamhuri Healthcare Services is rooted in clinical excellence. Every care journey begins with a Free In-Home Consultation conducted by a Registered Nurse (RN).

During this initial visit, our RN assesses:


  • Clinical Needs: Medication management, mobility challenges, and chronic condition monitoring.

  • Home Safety: Identifying potential hazards in the living environment.

  • Personal Matching: Understanding the personality and preferences of your loved one to ensure the perfect caregiver match.

By having an RN lead the way, we ensure that your respite care plan is more than just “sitting”—it is a professional extension of the care your family already provides.

Comprehensive Respite Services We Offer

Our caregivers are trained to step in seamlessly, maintaining your loved one’s routine so you can step away with peace of mind. Our services include:


  • Personal Care Assistance: Help with bathing, dressing, and grooming.

  • Medication Reminders: Ensuring prescriptions are taken on time and as directed.

  • Companionship & Engagement: Meaningful conversation, puzzles, or walks in local Pikesville parks.
