What started as a vision for a distinct type of nanny service and child care organization quickly transitioned to the exploding senior care demographic and Distinctive Home Care Inc. was launched. The needs of the baby boomer generation combined with our own personal senior relative challenges within the family was the genesis for this business concept. DHC enjoyed steady growth on an annual basis providing personal and companion nursing care to the senior and disabled community in Maryland, DC and Virginia from before the new millenium to the present day. In 2010, Deborah Guynn , the Founder and President, achieved her 8(a) certification for the company, got Distinctive on the Federal Supply Schedule, and a new dynamic division of the company was launched. Offices had to be moved and expanded, the number of employees grew, and Distinctive Health Care quickly expanded into a multi-state organization. The rest as they is history. "Our People Make the Difference" is the cradle to grave philosophy in terms of the people hired by DHC and the services we provide to our customers and end users.
