Founders Call on Community to Embrace Diverse, Personalized Support for Elders and DDA Clients
EDGEWOOD, MD / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2025 / Certified Home Nursing Solutions, a Maryland-based provider of homecare, DDA (Developmental Disabilities Administration), and healthcare staffing services, today launched a campaign to raise awareness of the need for culture-sensitive, person-centred care in eldercare and disability support. The campaign highlights inclusivity, cultural respect, and professional excellence as essential elements of quality care.
"Our mission is to deliver safe, effective care that truly respects people's backgrounds," said co-founder Tasha Brown. "When a caregiver understands a family's language, faith, or traditions, they are better equipped to serve them with dignity and compassion."
Why Culture Matters in Care
Studies show that 41% of seniors feel misunderstood by care providers due to cultural differences (National Council on Aging, 2023). Meanwhile, Maryland's DDA program serves over 18,000 individuals with developmental disabilities-but not all providers are trained in culturally aware methods.
In homes, this can lead to missed cues around diet preferences, personal values, or communication styles-creating friction and reduced care quality.
"When our staff adapt meals for cultural diets or speak a relative's preferred language, it builds trust fast," added co-founder Adrius King. "Our approach is rooted in empathy, not just efficiency."
Company Growth and Commitment
Founded in Edgewood in 2016, the company expanded to Baltimore City, Salisbury, Chester, and Whitemarsh, MD. Key milestones include:
Obtaining licensure for in-home care
Certification as a DDA service provider
Partnerships with multiple insurance networks
These advances reflect the company's mission to build a diverse, inclusive care environment through staffing excellence and ongoing training. Staff feedback indicates 98% satisfaction with cultural sensitivity training-resulting in a 25% increase in client satisfaction ratings since 2020.
A Call to Action: What Individuals Can Do
Certified Home Nursing Solutions invites families, providers, and communities to take simple steps that foster respect and inclusion:
Learn a few basic phrases in another person's language when possible.
Ask directly about traditions or customs-especially when entering someone's home.
Support caregivers in accessing cultural competency training.
Advocate with providers for broader availability of culture-sensitive care.
"You don't need to overhaul policies overnight," said King. "Small actions like learning a greeting in someone's mother tongue can transform the care experience."
