READ MOREUltimate responsibility for ensuring standards are maintained in assisted living facilities falls to the Maryland Department of Health. The practical element of the work is conducted by the Office of Health Care Quality, which has the power to issue licenses to facilities and remove them if they fail to provide the level of care demanded.
The average monthly fee for assisted living in Annapolis is $5,000, which equals the state average. The following examples from the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey compare costs in Annapolis to other major cities in Maryland. They also compare costs for other types of senior care.
At $5,000 per month, Annapolis is at the more affordable end of the spectrum for assisted living in Maryland. Only Hagerstown has lower costs at $4,500. In Salisbury, seniors pay an additional $500 per month, resulting in typical costs of $5,500. The rise is even greater in California, where fees of $6,200 are common, surpassing even the $6,000 costs in Washington D.C.

Seniors who can attend adult day care centers have the lowest fees, at $1,896, while nursing home care is the most expensive.

The following resources are available to seniors and their families. They can help meet some assisted living costs, resolve issues with care standards and give seniors access to activities that can enhance their physical and emotional well-being.
| Resource | Contact | Service |
|---|---|---|
| VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (410) 293-1202 | The VA Aid and Attendance benefit’s purpose is to help U.S. military veterans and their spouses cover some of the costs of their residential care facilities. Payments are added to the VA pension and are unique to each applicant. The maximum monthly payments are $1,881 for an individual vet, $1,209 for a surviving spouse and $2,230 for a couple. There’s no requirement to pay the benefits back. Vets unsure if they qualify can check out the free tool on the VeteranAid.org website. |
| Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (410) 222-4464 | The purpose of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman is to ensure seniors in residential care facilities are receiving the standard of care they have the right to expect. Ombudsmen regularly make unannounced visits to assisted living communities to speak to the residents, remind them of their rights and investigate complaints made by seniors, their families and third parties. The ombudsman can also provide families with information on file about assisted living facilities in Maryland. |
| State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) | (410) 222-4257 | Medicare beneficiaries and seniors can get help from the SHIP program free of charge. The program’s counselors can advise seniors on health care plans offering the widest coverage for the lowest costs and inform them if their current plans have shortfalls. The counselors are unbiased. They won’t try to guide seniors towards plans, including private health care insurance. They can also help seniors prepare appeals. |
| Senior Activity Centers | (410) 222-1818 | The Annapolis Senior Activity Center is the primary center in the city. However, there are another seven in various locations. Although each center is slightly different, facilities common to all include a nutrition program, where seniors can get a freshly cooked hot meal at lunchtime on weekdays. Centers also promote healthy living through their fitness classes, which include chair yoga and tai chi. There are also educational classes, such as acrylic painting and an introduction to computers. |
Annapolis-area assisted living communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all assisted living communities in Maryland are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Maryland page for more information about these laws.
