Our Story

Absolute Companion Care was founded in 2006 by a local resident whose decades of leadership and experience in teaching undergraduate health sciences and graduate medical education, combined with her desire to serve, led her to home care. The vision for Absolute Companion Care was formed after the agency’s founder personally assisted an older adult neighbor who needed consistent, dependable, and high-quality senior in-home care. Dismayed by the lack of quality care options available in northern Baltimore County, Maryland, Absolute Companion Care was established to serve the community’s growing need for community-based elder care services.

Absolute Companion Care is licensed by the State of Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Office of Health Care Quality. Our licensure is formally listed as a Residential Services Agency with a skilled nursing component (License #R4138). We are members of the National Association for Home Care and Hospice, the Home Care Association of America, the Private Duty Home Care Association, and the Caregiver Action Network. We are also a Better Business Bureau A+ accredited company.

Our Mission

At Absolute Companion Care, our mission is to serve as the model for at-home care in Maryland by providing professional and dedicated caregivers who deliver skilled and compassionate care.
