Nightingale House

13004 Darnestown Rd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878
Overview of Nightingale House

Nightingale House sits in the Bondbrook neighborhood of Gaithersburg, Maryland, offering assisted living alongside hospice and respite care. It’s a car-dependent area, so getting to appointments, shopping, or nearby restaurants generally means driving rather than walking.

With just 8 beds in a single-story building, it’s a much smaller setting than most assisted living communities, and that scale changes the day-to-day feel of the place. Staff get to know residents individually rather than managing a large roster. Families can choose between private and semi-private rooms.

Licensed nurses and CNAs staff the home around the clock, and residents have access to rehabilitation services and short-term rehab for recovery after an illness or surgery. Nightingale House also handles longer-term needs through its short and long-term care option, plus hospice services for residents who need end-of-life support. Day-to-day, staff help with activities of daily living and medication management, and they’ll escort residents to appointments rather than leaving transportation up to family members.

Social life is built around a volunteer program and regular wellness activities, giving residents a way to stay engaged without leaving the property. The home rounds out its amenities with grooming and meal preparation support, laundry service, and outdoor space for residents to get some fresh air.

Financially, the community accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, which opens up more than one path for families working out how to cover the cost of care.

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 814 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.
