READ MOREThe historic city of Baltimore is located on the estuary of the Patapsco River in Maryland. It has a population of 593,490, with approximately 14.5% of its residents aged 65 and over. Seniors in the city have access to excellent medical care at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital, which is nationally ranked in 15 procedures by U.S. News and World Report. Other notable medical facilities include the University of Maryland Medical Center and the Anne Arundel Medical Center.
Nursing home care provides 24/7 medical monitoring and care, as well as assistance with the tasks of daily living. It’s administered by teams of registered nurses and experienced caregivers, which can make it relatively expensive in most cities. According to the Genworth Cost of Care Survey 2020, the average monthly cost of care in a nursing home in Baltimore is $11,984 for a semiprivate room. The national average monthly cost of nursing home care is $7,756. Consequently, seniors living in Baltimore who don’t require that level of care should look at alternatives such as assisted living and home care services.
This guide looks at the costs of care in Baltimore and lists free resources for seniors.
