Assisted living in Maryland supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

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.
