Person-centered support for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities — at home, at work and across the community, in every region of Maryland.
Read what families say about us
Empathy Care Services is a Germantown-based provider for people of every background. We work alongside participants, families and Coordinators of Community Services to deliver dependable support — one person, one family and one community at a time.
All services are available under Maryland's DDA waiver programs, through both traditional and self-directed models.
Community Development Services help each person take an active, valued part in their community. Our staff support participants one-on-one or in small groups to explore interests, build friendships and practice the skills they need to get around and get involved — always in everyday community settings.
Day Habilitation offers a structured, purposeful daytime schedule outside the home. Activities are planned around each person’s goals and focus on building the self-help, social and practical skills that lead to greater independence.
Supported Living helps people live in a home of their own — their own apartment or house — with the support they need to stay safe, healthy and in control of their daily life. Support is shaped around the person’s routines, preferences and goals.
Personal Supports provide hands-on, one-on-one help with everyday activities at home and in the community. Our staff assist with what’s needed while encouraging people to do as much as they can for themselves.
Our nurses look after each participant’s health needs and make sure the people supporting them are trained to meet those needs safely. Nursing support works hand in hand with the person’s doctors, family and support team.
Caring for a loved one is rewarding and demanding. Respite Care gives family caregivers a break — for a few hours or longer — knowing their loved one is with trained, caring staff who follow their routines.
Getting where you need to go shouldn’t be a barrier. Our Transportation services help participants reach the places that matter to them, safely and on time, with drivers who understand their needs.
Remote Support uses technology to provide oversight in a person’s home without staff needing to be there in person. It gives participants more privacy and independence while help remains available when needed.
For people using Maryland’s self-directed services, we help participants and families stay in charge of their own supports — and we can also provide services directly as a vendor.
We proudly serve individuals and families of every race, culture, faith and language across Maryland, and we build teams that reflect the communities we work in. Support is matched to each person's needs, preferences and language.
Our mission is to promote independence, dignity and quality of life through reliable, high-quality support tailored to each person's unique needs. Our team works closely with participants and their families to encourage community inclusion and personal growth.
