Based in Hyattsville’s Professional Plaza, Me First Respite Care delivers temporary in-home respite and home care specifically engineered for family caregivers, not residential facilities. The model is direct: licensed nurses and CNAs show up at the client’s home for several hours, a day, or a week at a time while the primary caregiver steps away. All staff undergo background screening, maintain liability insurance, and carry bonding.
Hours run Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with Saturday availability through 1:00 p.m.; a business-hours model reflecting the service’s focus on caregiver relief rather than round-the-clock residential care. Veterans aged 65 and older and their spouses receive dedicated veteran-focused programming; companion care and sitter services round out the offering for non-veteran clients.
Respite companions handle personal care and household management, allowing family caregivers to attend medical appointments, return to work, or simply rest. The starting rate is $3,649 monthly.The organization does not carry Medicare or Medicaid certification.
Hyattsville sits 7.2 miles from the city center in a car-dependent area (walk score 32), though the service itself operates in clients’ homes rather than requiring facility visits.
This is respite on demand, not residential placement.
Me First Respite Care fits family caregivers needing temporary, scheduled relief for hours or days, during business hours, and veterans and their families seeking caregiver support within a dedicated veteran-care program.
