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.

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.
