Local Doctor Opens Home Helpers in Silver Spring, Maryland

SILVER SPRING, Md. - July 9, 2018 - PRLog -- After a career in healthcare and medicine of 25 years running his own medical office, Dr. Levi Pearson has decided to also serve the community in an additional new way. Dr. Pearson is pleased to announce the launch of his new home care company, Home Helpers and Direct Link Metro of Silver Spring serving Howard County and Montgomery County.

Home Helpers is the nation's leading franchise specializing in comprehensive home care for seniors, new mothers and individuals needing recuperative care, and those requiring temporary or continuing assistance. Home Helpers Metro of Silver Spring also offers Direct Link, its proprietary line of 24/7 medical alert systems, including a fall sensor, GPS locator for wandering patients, and an automated medication dispenser. The suite of monitors and services also includes remote weight gain (CHF), pulse oximetry monitoring (COPD), and glucose monitoring (diabetes) by our 24 hour 7 day per week center in Cincinnati to assist in disease management and decrease the need for ER visits and hospital admissions. Home Helpers Metro of Silver Spring serves Montgomery County and Howard County in Maryland, and can offer everything from transportation and companion care to a wide spectrum of skilled nursing care.

"I've seen the need for this kind of in-home care in this community, even with my own patients. I've had patients who need care and who have cancelled appointments because they don't have family to help with care or transportation to get to my office. When they'd tell me that they didn't know who to turn to or where to find help, it really hit home. I'd been in their shoes – first with my dad and, to a lesser extent, my sister. They both needed different levels of assistance and I realized that navigating the options can be extremely challenging," Dr. Pearson said. "I'm hoping, with Home Helpers Metro and Direct Link that I can be the trusted resource this community needs."

Dr. Pearson is a board certified anesthesiologist specializing in interventional pain management. His philosophy places an emphasis on technology coupled with empathy and compassion. Pearson has been named a Top Doctor in Anesthesiology and Pain Management by the International Association of Anesthesiologist and he's a member of Leading Physicians of The World (LPW), Sigma Alpha Pi National Society of Leadership and Success, American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, American Pain Society, International Spinal Injection Society, American Academy of Pain Medicine, American Academy of Pain Management, and the American Medical Association.

Dr. Pearson is a graduate of Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and he completed an internship, residency and pain fellowship training at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. He is also a Cum Laude graduate of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Saunders School of Business Executive Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program. Although he's adding skilled nursing and in-home care to his community, Dr. Pearson maintains a medical practice and hospital privileges at several local facilities, including Northwest Hospital LifeBridge, MedStar Montgomery Medical Center, University of Maryland Prince George's Hospital, Washington Adventist Hospital, and The Ellicott City Ambulatory Surgery Center.

"Home Helpers Metro of Montgomery County and Howard County is unique because we can provide a full spectrum of companion care and transportation up to skilled nursing and therapy care, and because we can customize a plan specific to your individual needs. I trust every member of my team and I've worked shoulder to shoulder with many of the nurses and caregivers who will be providing companion care, PT (physical therapy)/OT (occupational therapy), and skilled nursing medical care. And, if anyone ever has concerns, I'm here to help," Dr. Pearson said.

Home Helpers specializes in helping families care for their loved ones so that they can focus on spending quality time together – not just being full-time caregivers. Home Helpers' full-range of home care services empower clients to live healthier and more rewarding lives in the privacy, safety, and comfort of their own homes or any facility that they call home.  Home Helpers and Direct Link Metro of Montgomery and Howard County offers free in-home consultations and works with each client to create a flexible, affordable care plan based on a person's individual needs.
