There are 879 assisted living facilities in Maryland for families to choose from in their search for senior care. These facilities provide support for daily living activities for seniors that need it but who are not ready for the higher level of care offered in a nursing home.
Common amenities and services in Maryland Assisted Living Communities
Assisted living communities provide several amenities and services for residents who need help with activities of daily living. These include help with personal care tasks, housekeeping and taking medications. Most assisted living communities in Maryland also provide social and recreational activities to help residents stay actively engaged within the community. They do not provide round-the-clock nursing care, and they work best for seniors who remain independent but need a small amount of additional support or desire to have someone else manage housekeeping and maintenance tasks.
