The capital of Maryland and once temporary capital of the United States, the city of Annapolis is home to nearly 40,000 residents. Adults aged 65 and older make up 15.5% of the city’s population. These seniors benefit from affordable health care and high-quality hospitals, such as Anne Arundel Medical Center.
Seniors in Annapolis who need a high level of care throughout the day may be placed in a nursing facility. These locations offer 24-hour monitoring, supervision and care from skilled nurses and other medical professionals. Nursing home costs in Annapolis are relatively high. The average monthly cost for a semiprivate room is $11,984, according to Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey for 2020. Home care and assisted living facilities are more affordable care options for seniors who don’t require the high level of service provided in nursing homes.
Nursing home cost comparisons with nearby cities, as well as comparisons with other types of senior care, are available in this guide. There are also links to free nursing home resources in the community.

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
