Overview of Lorien Encore at Turf Valley

Located in Ellicott City, Maryland, Lorien Encore at Turf Valley is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center set in a suburban, car-dependent location near Maryland Route 29. The community has been operating for 16 years and is owned by Jim Hummer. With 110 beds, it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term skilled nursing care.

The community’s clinical focus is on rehabilitation and skilled nursing. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident each day; this level of staffing is robust enough to support hands-on care for post-acute patients. The home’s level of support makes it suitable for patients recovering from surgery or hospitalization, or for those managing a chronic condition requiring skilled oversight. Residents stay an average of 66 days, including a population that skews toward shorter-term rehabilitation and transitional care rather than long-term residence.

Parkinson’s Wellness is a specialized on-site program, so the community is a great option for residents with that diagnosis. The home’s respite care and hospice services can ease both short-term coverage gaps and end-of-life transitions. Rehabilitation services are also available on-site so residents won’t need to go outside for therapy appointments during recovery.

Rooms available range from private to semi-private options. Each has a private bathroom, and assisted living private suites have a kitchenette and bath, offering flexibility for residents at different care levels. Residents’ dining offers a restaurant-style model with attention to specialized diets.

Day-to-day life is supported by amenities such as a salon and spa, a movie theater, an on-site putting green, and a courtyard. Residents can access a wellness program and a seven-day weekly activities calendar to stay engaged. The home offers scheduled daily transportation, which can be helpful for medical appointments and family outings. Free Wi-Fi and cable television are also available.

Lorien Encore’s car-dependent location means family visits will require a car. However, its proximity to Route 29 provides convenient regional access, which may benefit families traveling from surrounding areas.

Overview of Spring Arbor of Crofton

Spring Arbor of Crofton sits in the Crofton Mews neighborhood, at 1495 Riedel Rd in Crofton, Maryland, and it’s operated by Spring Arbor Senior Living. The building is single-story, holds 93 beds, and has been running for 7 years. Rooms come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom sizes, ranging from 355 to 632 square feet. With a Walk Score of 19, this is a car-dependent spot. You’ll want a car for most errands, since there isn’t much to walk to nearby.

The community runs a dedicated Alzheimer’s unit split into mild, moderate, and severe levels, so care can shift as a resident’s needs change instead of forcing a move elsewhere. Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the building to handle both medical support and day-to-day assistance.

Respite care and short-term rehab are both available, which matters if someone just needs a few weeks to recover from surgery or an illness rather than a permanent placement. On the other end of the spectrum, hospice partnerships with AccentCare, Gilchrist, and Hospice of the Chesapeake mean end-of-life care can happen right where a resident already lives, instead of another transition.

Pets are welcome, which is a small thing until it’s the thing keeping someone from moving. Transportation services and fitness and recreation programming round out daily life outside the unit itself. Room costs run $250 a day for a private room and $275 for semi-private.

Spring Arbor of Crofton is a community with a fairly wide range built in: short-term recovery on one side, full-spectrum memory care on the other, and hospice support bridging the end of that range.

Overview of Glen Meadows

Glen Meadows is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility operated by Presbyterian Senior Living in Glen Arm, Maryland. Serving the area for 35 years, the 48-bed community takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so families have many coverage options for short-term rehabilitation and longer-term care. The home currently serves 35 residents and maintains a 73 percent occupancy rate. The average stay length is about 91 days, which reflects a patient population focused on post-acute rehabilitation after hospital discharge or surgery. Daily nursing care averages 4 hours and 21 minutes per resident, combining registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses with 24-hour staffing that ensures hands-on support all the time. The existence of dedicated rehabilitation services makes Glen Meadows a pragmatic choice for residents recuperating from procedures or acute health events.

Day-to-day life shines the spotlight on nourishment and wellness. Residents get three chef-prepared meals each day tailored to special dietary needs, along with snacks between meals. The facility also offers respite care for families seeking temporary care support, which can ease transitions for caregivers and residents. Amenities bolster daily living and spiritual well-being. The on-site fitness center encourages activity and recovery, while the library offers a quiet space for reading and reflection. A full beauty and barber salon means residents can go to personal grooming without leaving the community. Guest accommodations allow visiting family to stay nearby, and the chapel with chaplain services delivers spiritual care for those who value it. Glen Arm is car-dependent and has a Walk Score of 17, so the community’s accessible location and services are especially important for families managing frequent visits or coordinating care.

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 801 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.
