Assisted Living, Hospice Care, Memory Care & Respite Care · Hanover, MD

Overview of Morningside House of Friendship

Morningside House of Friendship provides assisted living, hospice care, memory care, and respite care in Hanover, MD. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision, hospice care supports residents at the end of life, and respite care provides a short stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover.

The community has 103 beds, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom housing options. A studio gives one resident a single private space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit two people moving together. Private rooms cost $190 to $250 per day, semi-private rooms cost $145 to $185 per day, and apartments cost $225 to $285 per day, depending on the accommodation type.

Pets are allowed, so a resident may continue living with a pet. The area has a Walk Score of 36, placing it in the car-dependent category, so most errands require a car or a ride. Someone who no longer drives would generally need transportation for those errands, and the community may be a good fit for someone living with dementia who needs a supervised setting or for a family seeking short-term respite care.
