Overview of Peaceful Serenity Assisted Living

Peaceful Serenity Assisted Living is a small operation, just 5 beds, tucked into Baltimore’s Central Park Heights neighborhood. It’s a 2-story building with a mix of private and semi-private rooms. The Walk Score here is 77, so this is a “very walkable” spot; most errands don’t require a car.

Because it’s small, the care model looks different than a bigger community would. There’s a monthly nursing assessment, a registered nurse on-call around the clock, and medication technicians on staff. Someone’s awake and present 24 hours a day, too. Meals happen three times daily, home-style, as part of that same daily rhythm.

Activities lean toward physical fitness, creativity, and cognitive stimulation, the kind of programming meant to keep residents engaged rather than just occupied. Beyond direct care, there’s a barber on-site, transportation support, housekeeping, and laundry, the everyday logistics families don’t want to have to manage themselves.

Peaceful Serenity Assisted Living is a 5-bed home that is a fundamentally different environment than a 100-bed community; closer staff attention is possible, but so is more variability day to day depending on who’s on shift.

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.
