Maryland Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (410) 313-6423 | Maryland's long-term care ombudsmen address the needs of residents of assisted living and other long-term care communities. This includes receiving complaints filed by residents or on behalf of residents by their families and addressing the concerns. Other functions of this organization include helping Maryland seniors find the right assisted living home, with unbiased assessments of each facility's benefits and drawbacks. |
Maryland Department of Aging | (410)-767-1100 | Maryland’s Department of Aging’s mission is to make the state an attractive retirement destination for older adults.

Baltimore County Department of Aging's Loan Closet | (410) 887-2594 | Seniors in the greater Baltimore area who cannot afford their own durable medical equipment may indefinitely borrow from the Department of Aging’s Loan Closet.
