Free Assisted Living Resources in Glen Burnie
Glen Burnie and the greater Baltimore area have several resources for seniors and their families to help them locate and apply for benefits, find the right long-term care options and retain their independence and quality of life.
The state long-term care ombudsman program advocates for the interests of individuals in long-term care homes, such as assisted living. Representatives lobby for greater standards and regulations of these communities and can help residents who have complaints get a resolution through the right oversight body. Seniors and their families can also receive help from the ombudsman office to evaluate their choices for assisted living and apply for accommodations.
The mission of the Maryland Department of Aging is to establish the state as a desirable retirement destination for older adults, working with communities across the state to develop programs for seniors and create vibrant, senior-friendly communities that facilitate access to resources for seniors.
The Legal Aid program provides free or low-cost legal services to individuals who cannot afford their own civil representation.

The city’s Department of Aging administers a loan closet for durable medical equipment for seniors who cannot afford their own. These items can include mobility aids and access assistance equipment, including wheelchairs and wheelchair ramps, shower and bathroom chairs, grab bars and blood pressure cuffs.

Shuttles go to different shopping centers and grocery stores for errands, provide rides to doctors appointments and medical services or drop off and pick up seniors at other destinations around town.
