Care at Home Is Now Carewann
In January 2026, our organization entered a new chapter with a new name.
Care at Home is now Carewann. While the name has changed, our commitment to compassionate, dependable home care remains the same. The new name reflects the heart behind our services and the values that guide everything we do.
Carewann represents “Care with Ann,” inspired by our founder, Ann Smith, RN. With more than 25 years of healthcare experience, Ann built the organization on a simple belief that care should always be delivered with heart.
Our services, team, and dedication to families remain unchanged. The new name simply reflects more clearly who we are and the values that define the care we provide.
We are grateful for the trust families have placed in us over the years and look forward to continuing to serve our community as Carewann.

Many families in Maryland provide daily care for a loved one at home. Certain Maryland Medicaid programs allow eligible family members to receive compensa on for providing care.
Programs such as the Community First Choice (CFC) program allow individuals who qualify for Medicaid services to receive care at home while family members may serve as paid caregivers.
To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, visit the official Maryland Medicaid website.

This means that payroll, taxes, workers’ compensation, and insurance are handled by Carewarm in accordance with Maryland labor laws and employment regulations.
By employing our caregivers directly, we ensure that all legal and insurance responsibilities are properly managed so families are not placed at risk for employment-related liabilities.
