Overview of Arden Courts of Kensington

Arden Courts of Kensington is a 64-bed memory care community at 4301 Knowles Avenue in Kensington, Maryland, serving the Montgomery County area. Owned by HCR ManorCare, the facility specializes in care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, providing a service model that encompasses dedicated memory care, assisted living, and short-term respite stays.

The Maryland Department of Health, Office of Health Care Quality, oversees regulatory compliance for the community. Current 2026 filings show the facility maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero, and records indicate that no civil money penalties or payment denials have been imposed by CMS within the past three years. While specific occupancy figures and monthly pricing are not reported in the available source data, the 64-bed capacity is dedicated to a residential setting designed to support resident independence through secure, specialized spaces.

Support is provided 24/7 by a professional team trained specifically in dementia care protocols to manage the complex needs of residents with cognitive decline. The facility design utilizes a residential living model intended to foster a familiar, low-stress environment while ensuring 24-hour monitoring and safety. Because specific data points such as caregiver-to-resident ratios, licensed nurse hours, and comparative quality measures, including fall rates or psychotropic medication use, are not currently reported, these represent information gaps that require direct inquiry.

The community features secure indoor and outdoor spaces designed specifically for those with memory impairment, though specific lists of on-site amenities and dining program details are not publicly listed. Standard services for this care level typically include assistance with all activities of daily living, housekeeping, and meal service.

Shared common areas are structured to encourage social engagement while maintaining safety. Families must confirm the specific suite layouts and emergency call system features during an on-site tour, as these details are not captured in current reporting.

Those seeking specialized dementia care in a dedicated residential environment may find this community appropriate. Interested individuals should confirm Medicaid acceptance, current occupancy status, and the full inspection history directly with the Maryland Department of Health before making a placement decision.

Overview of Fatima‘s Assisted Living

Fatima’s Assisted Living is a small operation by design. Seven beds, one story, tucked into a residential stretch of Gaithersburg, Maryland, about 2.9 miles from downtown. The neighborhood is only somewhat walkable (Walk Score 48), so residents and visiting family will likely need a car for most errands, though a handful of nearby services are within walking distance.

With just seven residents at capacity, staff-to-resident contact tends to be closer than at larger communities, and the pace is generally quieter. Private and semi-private rooms are available, and the community accepts residents starting at age 65.

Nurses and certified medication technicians are on hand for medication management, and on-site certified nursing assistants help residents with daily living activities. The activity roster leans into therapeutic programming, music, dance, and pet therapy, rather than the packed events calendars of bigger communities, and residents also join organized social outings. Meals are prepared daily, and housekeeping and laundry are handled as part of the standard offering.

Medicaid is accepted here, a detail worth knowing for families mapping out how to pay for care over the long term. Between the seven-bed size and the hands-on staffing model, this is a fit for older adults and families who want a home-like setting with steady personal attention rather than the scale and amenities of a larger campus community.

Overview of The Hamlet at Queenstown

Located in the Alberta Heights area of Severn, Maryland, The Hamlet at Queenstown is a small assisted living home in Anne Arundel County. The community has just 5 beds, creating a much smaller setting than most assisted living communities. With this size, staff know residents personally and build closer daily relationships in a more home-like environment.

The community is about 2.5 miles from downtown Severn, placing it in a quiet residential area rather than a busy commercial district. Ascension Saint Agnes is approximately 9 miles away, so hospital care is within a reasonable distance when needed, as the community maintains its peaceful setting.

The area has a Walk Score of 41 out of 100, which is somewhat walkable. A handful of nearby errands and services may be completed on foot. Still, most shopping, dining, and medical appointments require a car. For visiting family, the location offers a typical suburban setting rather than a highly walkable town center.

With only five beds, The Hamlet at Queenstown is a boutique alternative to larger assisted living communities. The emphasis is likely to be on close personal attention instead of a long list of amenities or organized programs. Families considering a smaller home may want to ask what a typical day looks like for the residents because staffing patterns and daily routines can vary significantly in communities of this size.

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.
