Meet Gauri and Rohit Chande

Gauri and Rohit Chande are the owners of Homewatch CareGivers of Silver Spring. They serve families across Silver Spring and nearby communities within Eastern Montgomery County.

They are also parents to two daughters and understand how important dependable support can be when a family is balancing work, children, household responsibilities, and the needs of an aging or medically vulnerable loved one.

Their decision to operate a home care agency was shaped by both professional experience and personal caregiving responsibilities.

Meet Gauri Chande

Co-Owner, Homewatch CareGivers of Silver Spring

Before becoming a home care agency owner, Gauri worked as a pharmacist and pharmaceutical researcher.

Her work included direct interaction with patients through counseling and education. That experience helped her recognize that a person’s well-being is influenced by more than a diagnosis or medical treatment.

Adequate support at home, social engagement, meaningful activities, familiar routines, and reliable assistance can all affect how someone experiences daily life.

Gauri’s approach to home care is grounded in listening carefully to clients and families. She believes that support should reflect the individual’s abilities, preferences, personality, routines, and goals rather than relying on a single plan for every client.

Her role within the Silver Spring agency includes helping families understand their options and supporting the development of personalized care arrangements.

Meet Rohit Chande

Co-Owner, Homewatch CareGivers of Silver Spring

Rohit brings more than 20 years of executive-management experience to the local agency.

His professional background has given him experience with leadership, operations, communication, accountability, and building organizations around clear service standards.

Rohit and Gauri had long discussed building a business together that would provide a meaningful service to their community. Their personal caregiving experiences ultimately gave that goal a clear direction.

Rohit’s role helps support the operational side of the agency, including the systems and communication needed to coordinate dependable care for clients and families.

Why We Chose Home Care

For much of their adult lives, Gauri and Rohit lived thousands of miles away from family members and loved ones.

They understand the worry that can come with trying to help an aging relative from a distance. Families may receive incomplete information, struggle to coordinate appointments, or feel uncertain about what is happening between visits and phone calls.

In recent years, Gauri and Rohit also became primary caregivers for immediate family members with complex care needs.

That experience gave them a first-hand understanding of:

  • The time required to coordinate care
  • The emotional weight of making decisions for someone you love
  • The difficulty of balancing caregiving with work and family responsibilities
  • The importance of reliable communication
  • The value of preserving familiar routines
  • The need for planned respite and backup support
  • The importance of treating caregivers with respect

They saw how strongly many people wish to remain in their own homes while maintaining dignity, choice, and as much independence as possible.

They also learned that families cannot always manage every responsibility alone.

Homewatch CareGivers of Silver Spring was created to help local families build a more dependable care arrangement around the needs of the person receiving support.

Our Approach to Home Care

Home care should not begin with a predetermined list of tasks. It should begin with an understanding of the person.

Before care begins, our team learns about the client’s routines, abilities, preferences, household needs, family involvement, schedule, and current concerns.

1. Listening to the Family

We begin by discussing what is happening now. Families may be concerned about falls, missed meals, memory changes, personal care, isolation, recovery after hospitalization, nighttime needs, or the increasing demands placed on a family caregiver.

You do not need to have every answer before contacting us. The first conversation can help identify the questions that need to be addressed.

2. Understanding the Client

The person receiving care should remain central to the process. Our team seeks to understand:

  • Daily routines
  • Personal preferences
  • Communication style
  • Mobility
  • Personal care needs
  • Meal preferences
  • Interests and activities
  • Sleep patterns
  • Transportation needs
  • Home safety concerns
  • Family participation
  • Requested days and hours
  • Professional recommendations already in place

3. Developing a Personalized Care Plan

The care plan outlines the type of non-medical assistance requested and how it should fit into the client’s daily life. Depending on the situation, the plan may include personal care, companionship, meals, mobility assistance, transportation, household routines, medication reminders, supervision, or respite for family members.

4. Coordinating Caregiver Matching

Caregiver matching may consider:

  • The client’s care needs
  • The requested schedule
  • Caregiver availability
  • Communication preferences
  • Personality
  • Interests
  • Household expectations
  • Language or cultural preferences, when available

No agency can guarantee a perfect match, but thoughtful planning can help create a more comfortable and productive care relationship.

5. Maintaining Communication

Needs may change after care begins. Families are encouraged to communicate changes in routines, mobility, behavior, schedules, health concerns, or household circumstances so the care arrangement can be reviewed.

Our Commitment to Clients and Families

Inviting a caregiver into someone’s home is a personal decision. Families need to feel comfortable asking questions, discussing concerns, and understanding how care will be coordinated.

Our approach emphasizes:

  • Respect for the client’s dignity and choices
  • Personalized care planning
  • Thoughtful caregiver matching
  • Clear communication
  • Caregiver screening and training
  • Support for established household routines
  • Meaningful companionship
  • Responsiveness when needs change
  • Support for family caregivers
  • Appropriate coordination with existing professional recommendations

We do not believe that quality home care is measured only by the number of tasks completed.

It is also reflected in whether the person feels heard, whether the family understands the plan, and whether the support fits naturally into the client’s life.

Our Caregivers

Caregivers are an essential part of every care relationship. Our local team works to identify caregivers whose availability, experience, communication style, and abilities are appropriate for the requested care plan.

Caregivers may assist clients with:

  • Personal care
  • Mobility
  • Meals
  • Medication reminders
  • Transportation
  • Companionship
  • Household routines
  • Appointments
  • Respite care
  • Daytime, evening, or overnight needs

Caregivers should work within the established care plan and the scope of services authorized by the local agency.

Families should communicate any specialized equipment, significant mobility needs, behavioral concerns, medical restrictions, or professional instructions during the consultation process.

Support for Long-Distance Families

Gauri and Rohit understand the challenges of supporting a loved one while living far away.

Long-distance family members may worry about:

  • Whether meals are being prepared
  • Changes in mobility or memory
  • Missed appointments
  • Household conditions
  • Social isolation
  • Caregiver consistency
  • What is happening between family visits

A professional caregiver can provide practical assistance and an additional point of contact within an established care plan.

Home care does not replace family involvement, medical care, or legal decision-making. It can, however, help families create a more consistent local support system.

Why Local Ownership Matters

Homewatch CareGivers of Silver Spring is part of the broader Homewatch CareGivers network, but the Silver Spring location is independently owned and operated.

Local ownership means the people responsible for the agency are connected to the community being served.

Gauri and Rohit are not distant corporate representatives. They are local owners whose professional reputations are connected to the experiences of Silver Spring-area clients, families, and caregivers.

Their goal is to build an agency that families can contact when questions arise, when care needs change, and when a current arrangement is no longer sufficient.
