READ MOREThe Maryland Department of Health is responsible for ensuring the state’s assisted living facilities conform to standards. The day-to-day work is carried out by the Office of Health Care Quality, which issues and revokes licenses. Some work is also carried out by the Long-Term Care Ombudsman, whose reports can influence decisions regarding licensing.
In Baltimore City, the average monthly cost of assisted living is $5,000. Families comparing individual assisted living communities may want to consider other cities as costs can differ greatly, as the figures revealed in the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey show.
Baltimore City’s assisted living costs of $5,000 are typical for Maryland. Although they’re above the national average, this is expected, considering the city’s proximity to Washington D.C., where costs average $6,000 per month. Hagerstown is the only city in the area with lower costs than Baltimore City. At $4,500, they’re $1,000 less than the fees paid by Salisbury’s seniors and $1,700 below California’s typical costs.

Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program | (410) 396-3144 | The Long-Term Care Ombudsman advocates for the rights of seniors residing in care communities throughout Maryland. Ombudsmen routinely make unannounced visits to assisted living facilities to speak to the residents and inform them of their rights. Additionally, ombudsmen will investigate complaints made by residents, their families and third parties. Families who want to know more about assisted living communities on their shortlists can apply to the ombudsman for more information, including occasions when the facilities violated standards. |

Counselors provide confidential one-on-one information and advice about various Medicare plans, which can give seniors the coverage they need. The counselors can also discuss private health care insurance, although they won’t try to sell plans as their advice is unbiased. |
