Respite care is available for short stays, which can suit a family caregiver who needs temporary coverage while traveling or recovering.

The community opened in 2022 and has 72 beds. Memory care and nursing care within the same community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because care can continue without moving to another community. The starting price is $9,795, giving families an initial cost figure, although the confirmed facts do not tie that amount to a specific care type.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Maryland Medicaid cover memory care?

Maryland Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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.

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.
