Paying for Assisted Living in La Plata
Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in La Plata
Maryland’s Senior Assisted Living Group Home Subsidy (SALGHS) program provides seniors who are unable to live independently with subsidies to support the cost of personal care, daily meals and 24-hour supervision in smaller ALPs licensed for four to 16 residents. The Community Options and Community First Choice Medicaid Waivers also cover services received in assisted living. Some seniors may also be eligible for the Optional State Supplement.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Maryland page.

- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage
For more information about different ways to finance assisted living, visit our Assisted Living in Maryland page.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in La Plata
Maryland’s Department of Health sets out strict rules and regulations for assisted living facilities. These regulations cover care types, accommodation standards, staff training, background checks and health and safety requirements. Facilities are inspected regularly to ensure they are operating in accordance with these standards.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in La Plata
- Maryland has moderately tax-friendly policies for seniors. Social Security income in the state is not taxed, but other forms of retirement income, including IRAs, are. Lower-income seniors may qualify for exemptions to reduce some of their tax liabilities.
- La Plata usually has warm and muggy summers, while the winters are cold and snowy. May through to September is the hot season. Seniors who enjoy outdoor activities should find the weather is suitable for them between the months of August and October.
- The cost of living in La Plata is above average for Maryland and the United States overall. The monthly fee charged by assisted living facilities includes room and board, plus most utilities. This means most seniors will have limited other outgoings to plan for, so the high cost of living in the state should not be noticeable.
- Violent crime rates in La Plata are below average, but property crime rates are almost one-third above average for the United States. Seniors should be able to feel reasonably safe while out running errands or visiting local community centers. Assisted living communities are staffed 24 hours a day, which means seniors are less likely to be affected by crime in such a community than they would be if they were living independently.
- The air quality in La Plata is usually good. This can be a strong positive factor for seniors who are living with asthma or other respiratory conditions that may be aggravated by pollution if they were living in a bigger city.
