Overview of Friends House Retirement Community

Friends House Retirement Community offers nursing home, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, and continuing care retirement community services in Sandy Spring, MD. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having these care levels together can allow a resident’s care to change without leaving the community.

There are 24 beds. Friends House Retirement Community may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other. The starting rate is $220 per day for a private room and $180 per day for a semi-private room, so the listed difference is tied to the room type.

Payment options are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. Medicaid can matter when savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare applies to short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. Total nurse staffing is 4h 17m per resident per day, representing the combined daily nurse time allocated to each resident.

Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet to the community. Friends House Retirement Community also lists activities, ArtSpace, Community Resources, and the Elephant Shop among its programs and amenities.

Overview of John B. Parsons Assisted Living Community

John B. Parsons Assisted Living Community provides nursing home, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing in Salisbury, MD. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps an apartment, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.

Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision. Nursing home and skilled nursing services provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, and having several care levels in one community can allow a resident whose needs grow to move to a different level of care without leaving the community.

The community has 49 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Private room rates are $183 to $257 per day, and apartment rates are $235 to $263 per day, with pricing organized by housing format rather than care level.

Medicaid is accepted, giving residents whose savings may not cover a long stay a payment option. A Walk Score of 71 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Maryland

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Maryland?

Assisted living in Maryland supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Maryland?

Assisted living in Maryland is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Maryland Medicaid cover assisted living?

Maryland Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Maryland) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 812 assisted living facilities in Maryland. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Maryland?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Maryland, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Maryland?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
