What Is A-1 Action Nursing Care and What Services Does It Provide?

Updated

A-1 Action Nursing Care is a family-owned home health care and private duty nursing company serving Maryland. It provides registered nurses and nursing assistants who deliver care either at home or in a facility, covering a range that runs from everyday help like grocery shopping and companionship to clinically intensive support such as ventilator-dependent care. If you or a loved one needs private nursing care, the company positions itself as offering immediate solutions rather than a lengthy intake process.

Who the service is for

The site frames its services around a set of common situations. You may be a good fit if you or a family member:

  • Needs nursing care but wants to remain at home
  • Has trouble managing medications
  • Lives alone and needs extra help
  • Feels lonely and wants social activities and companionship
  • Is at risk of falling and getting hurt
  • Has had a recent stroke
  • Has been discharged from the hospital and needs extra care
  • Has finished rehab but still needs support

The company also states it can provide care in a facility, not only at home, so the setting is not limited to a private residence.

What services are provided

The stated service scope is delivered by registered licensed nurses and nursing assistants. Based on the site's own description, the range includes:

Type of support Examples given
Daily living and companionship Grocery shopping, social activities, companionship
Medication support Help for those having trouble taking medications
Skilled nursing care Registered licensed nurses
Nursing assistance Nursing assistants
High-acuity care Ventilator-dependent care

The company describes this care as professional and expert, delivered "in a loving and caring manner." The breadth matters: the same agency that helps with errands also handles ventilator-dependent clients, so families do not necessarily need to switch providers as needs escalate.

What the company says about how it works

Two claims stand out for anyone comparing options.

Immediate solutions. The site says it provides "immediate solutions that help you overcome obstacles." One client account supports this in practice: a daughter caring for a mother admitted to rehab for two broken feet said that after calling, "there was no delay, no lengthy processing, or a zillion evaluations," and a caregiver was provided as soon as her mother got home.

Family-owned and long-standing. The company describes itself as a family-owned business operating "generation to generation." The same client noted six years with the agency and said the family-owned structure made it "easy to work with, compassionate and understanding."

What current and former clients report

The site includes two named testimonials, which are useful as reported experiences rather than verified outcomes.

  • Frank Gulino of Alexandria, VA wrote about care for his mother at the end of her life. He described the caregivers as "uniformly excellent," professional, skilled, understanding, and sympathetic, and said they also assisted the family with concern and advice. He specifically thanked Robert and Mark for patient phone support.
  • A second client (mother admitted to rehab for two broken feet) described finding the agency through a list provided by the rehab center, calling it "home" immediately, and staying with them for six years. She credited them with making parental care manageable from out of state.

Both accounts emphasize responsiveness and family communication, which are the practical concerns most people weigh when choosing a home care agency.

How to get started

The site's primary call to action is a phone number: (301) 890-7575. It invites questions directly — "Call us with any questions. We will help you find answers" — rather than requiring an online form or portal.

Before calling, it helps to have ready:

  • The current care setting (home, hospital discharge, rehab, facility)
  • Specific needs, such as medication management, fall risk, or ventilator support
  • Whether skilled nursing or a nursing assistant is required
  • Your location in Maryland, to confirm coverage

Note that the site does not publish pricing, insurance details, or service-area boundaries. Those are questions to raise on the call, since the available information does not confirm cost, payment methods, or whether a specific county is covered.
