What to Consider About Assisted Living in Parkville

Like every assisted living community in the state, Parkville’s assisted living communities are licensed and regulated by the Maryland Department of Health. Each assisted living community undergoes regular inspections to retain its license, including the condition and sanitation of the community, plus verification of appropriate staffing ratios and each staff member’s qualifications.

  • Maryland offers seniors with a total income of less than $100,000 a state income tax break. The first $50,000 in income is completely tax-free, and the balance is taxed at a lesser rate.
