Cherished Hands Home Healthcare is a home care agency serving seniors in Gaithersburg, Maryland and surrounding Montgomery County areas. Founded in 2009 by Abby Sakariyah, a family nurse practitioner, the agency provides both medical and non-medical in-home care services designed to help seniors age safely in their own homes while maintaining independence and dignity.
The agency offers a comprehensive range of medical services including ostomy care, wound care, tube feeding, IV antibiotic administration, diabetes management, and medication management. Specialized care programs are available for conditions such as Alzheimer's and dementia, Parkinson's disease, COPD, ALS, MS, post-stroke recovery, and post-operative orthopedic care. Twenty-four-hour home care provides around-the-clock support to meet clients' needs at any time of day or night.
Beyond medical services, Cherished Hands assists with daily living activities including mobility support to reduce fall risk, meal preparation, laundry, errands, shopping, and transportation. The agency also provides companionship and emotional support for socially isolated seniors, respite care to give family caregivers a break, and housekeeping services to help maintain a clean living environment.
The agency's caregivers are trained, licensed, and extensively trained in a simulation room. Cherished Hands emphasizes personalized, one-on-one care with a quality assurance program that guarantees caregiver compatibility; if a client is not satisfied with their assigned caregiver, the agency will provide a replacement. The agency accepts various payment options including Medicaid Waiver, Long Term Care Insurance, VA Benefits, and major credit cards.
