Choosing a community in Maryland

  • Ask what the monthly fee includes, how care levels are priced and how often rates rise.
  • Check staffing levels day and night, and what training caregivers receive.
  • Ask how the community handles falls, medical emergencies and changing care needs.
  • Look up the community’s most recent state inspection report.

National median costs in 2024 were about $5,900 a month for assisted living, about $34 an hour for a home health aide, and about $9,300 a month for a semi-private nursing home room. Memory care usually costs more than assisted living. Prices in Maryland may be higher or lower, so ask each community for a written breakdown.

Medicare does not pay for long-term assisted living or memory care. Medicaid programs, long-term care insurance and VA benefits may help those who qualify.
