OurCare

What OurCare does

OurCare, Inc. is a Maryland-registered, privately held non-profit organization that provides residential and support services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The company is headquartered at 4407 Forbes Boulevard in Lanham, Maryland, and operates entirely within the State of Maryland in compliance with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene – Office of Health Care Quality (DHMH-OHCQ). It markets itself under the doing-business-as name 'OurCare' and lists 1–10 employees, indicating a small operating base.

OurCare's core product portfolio consists of four interconnected services: the Alternative Living Unit (ALU), which provides residential community-living arrangements; Respite Care, which provides temporary caregiver relief subject to DDA caps (no more than 45 calendar days per year and no more than 28 consecutive days absent DDA approval); Group Home services for shared living arrangements typically housing 2–5 residents; and Personal Support, which covers daily living assistance, transportation, case management, and community integration. An online Annual Budget Portal allows members to access and manage their individual budget information. All services are delivered under a self-directed care model that positions clients as partners in care planning, goal-setting, and budgeting. Distribution is direct to individuals and families through referrals, with the company operating a website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube channels for community outreach, alongside a phone-based intake line.

OurCare's business model is funded primarily through government programs, with individual care plans approved by the Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and reimbursement routed through Medicaid and related entitlements (e.g., Social Security coordination). Services are billed under participant-directed budgets on multi-year contracts, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The organization is a non-profit that also solicits donations, volunteers, and members, and it accepts new clients, donors, volunteers, and job seekers. No revenue figures, funding rounds, partnerships, awards, patents, management-team disclosures, or M&A activity are present in the available source material.
