Overview of Arbor Terrace Senior Living

On Greenbelt Road in Lanham, Prince George’s County, Arbor Terrace Senior Living is a 125-bed community that has been running for 27 years. It offers assisted living and memory care. Assisted living starts at $3,500 per month; memory care is $6,400 per month. The community does not accept Medicare, and no Medicaid coverage is listed, so families should plan for private-pay arrangements.

UM Laurel Medical Center is 7.06 miles out. The neighborhood Walk Score is 52, which puts it in moderately walkable territory — some errands on foot, most by car.

Memory care here is structured across the full progression of Alzheimer’s disease. A dedicated Alzheimer’s unit serves residents at mild, moderate, and severe stages, staffed by licensed nurses and CNAs. That range is worth noting: a community that can support someone from early diagnosis through advanced care eliminates the need to relocate as the disease progresses.

The broader amenity set includes concierge services, exercise and wellness programming, and organized activities. The community is pet-friendly. Dining uses chef-prepared meals with locally sourced ingredients.

At 27 years in operation and with a dedicated Alzheimer’s unit that spans every stage of the disease, Arbor Terrace is a well-established private-pay option in Prince George’s County for families who need assisted living or memory care and want pricing and care range spelled out clearly from the start.
