All living options of Springswell get seamless access to their amenities and services such as engaging in wellness programs, outings and events, transportation, housekeeping, and laundry services. The assisted living and memory care residents get more specialized services such as medication management and assistance with daily living (bathing, dressing, grooming, etc), and extra help with the housekeeping and meals provided. As their name suggests, security is included in their top priority, which is why they have provided a 24-hour emergency call system in the building and emergency pendant with GPS. Visitation is open anytime but overnight stays are only allowed for independent living residents.

Overview of Somerford House & Place Frederick

Somerford House & Place Frederick provides assisted living and memory care in Frederick, MD. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident lives in a studio or one-bedroom apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having both care types can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since care can change without a move to another community.

The community has 52 beds, giving families a clear sense of its licensed capacity. Private rooms range from $170 to $265 per day, so the daily amount a family budgets depends on the rate assigned to the room and care arrangement. Five Star Senior Living operates Somerford House & Place Frederick. A Walk Score of 40 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk. Pets are allowed, letting a resident keep a pet while living at the community.

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.
