High Quality, Loving Care
We have been very pleased with the loving care provided by the 2nd Family caregivers. The caregivers that have come in have been compassionate and caring. Also, if there is ever a call out, 2nd Family worked to find a replacement caregiver to come in.

About the facility
2nd Family - Eldersburg

A family-owned business, 2nd Family began in 2011 as a result of our own experience in searching for in-home care for our own loved one — our grandmother. We discovered first-hand that there was a huge void between the level of care available and the level of care that we wanted for our own loved one. It was frustrating and emotionally draining. Having gone through the process of trying to find someone to care for our loved one, we immediately felt compelled to fill that void and help others dealing with similar situations.

2nd Family is the proud recipient of the prestigious SeniorAdvisor.com Best of In-Home Care award two years in a row, having been recognized in 2016 and 2017 for outstanding home care.

Our best-in-class service includes a dedicated RN to manage your care, highly trained and certified CNA and GNA caregivers, and the latest technology to assist in delivering superb care at an affordable rate.

John Horan-Veteran
All the aides that came to the house were great. My husband's schedule varies every day. Tried three different 2-hour shifts to try and find the time that would work best for him. Because of his varied schedule, have had to put the service on pause until he can get a stable schedule. The first week of service was somewhat difficult because a different aide arrived every day. It took a lot of time each day to orient the aide to the house and his schedule. Our preference would be to have the same person or a maximum of two aides alternating shifts.

Great Experience
After my initial conversation. The staff of 2nd family virtually held my hand through this process. The attention to our needs was outstanding.. Staff was very responsive my emails , and phone calls. I receive constant updates on my love one care. My care takers communicated when they arrived and at the end of there shifts. Over all I has a great experience. I plan to reach out to 2nd if my love one returns home.

Loving Care
The name 2nd Family truly defines the care that is provided for your love one. The caregivers are efficient, on time, encouraging, loving, and become one of the family. My mom enjoyed cooking, exercising, laughing, and talking with the women who became dear friends. My mom's last days were comfortable, loving, and safe all because of 2nd Family. Thank you to all of the caregivers and staff.

New to home care
I can not speak highly enough about 2nd Family. Navigating home care options for a parent can be difficult, especially if you are new to this way of life. 2nd family has been so helpful in more than just providing safe care for my father. They provide other services and information to so many other things you may need to help take care of a parent in need of extra help. Services that provide Moving, PT, OT, Transportation and more. There are multiple avenues to communicate need or have your questions answered and everyone I have encountered has been sympathetic and so very kind. It makes this transition of life a little more bearable and I can breathe a little easier knowing that my father is safe when I can not be there. I am lucky to have found them.

[name removed]has been my caregiver for almost a year now off and on. She has been an incredible help to me in all aspects of my care. She listens, takes direction to my needs with the utmost respect and care. She is extremely reliable and very helpful in my day-to-day challenges. She always comes to work with a smile and positive energy. When I think of Second Family, she really has become my second family. I hope she can be recognized for her contributions to your organization through her positive work with your clients.

Appreciating 2nd Family
2nd Family was suggested to me by another care agency located in Baltimore. I called the 1st week of January to request help with my husband. He had spent 6 weeks in Sinai Hospital + 1 month in rehab. He remained quite deconditioned + preferred to care for him at home. After my 1st conversation with 2nd Family, their wheels started turning. Forms were sent for me to fill out, an RN was sent to our home to assess our needs and help for us was arranged within a week. I was impressed with the kindness + warmth I received over the phone but also with professionalism + efficiency. All of our caregivers have been attentive + motivated to help. We now have a consistent caregiver who we love. I know my husband is well taken care of when I leave the house.

Very caring and reliable service/highly recommend
2nd Family is a very good company to support your in-home care needs. They provided caregivers for my elderly father up until his passing. Their caregivers are all very good. But I particularly want to recognize [name removed] who was my father's main caregiver. He gave such wonderful care to my father - and to us as well. He stood by us until the end. [name removed] was also very good. She supported us through one difficult night, above and beyond the call of duty. 2nd Family is very well managed, reasonably priced, reliable and I highly recommend them
