The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Rockville, MD for 2024

Rockville is a city of approximately 68,000 people that sits just north of Washington D.C., only 30 minutes from the center of the nation’s capital. Like several of its neighboring cities, it’s mostly residential, with plenty of good restaurants and boutique stores surrounding the popular town square. There are also 67 parks, adding to the city’s laid-back feel despite the density of its population. It’s something of a golfer’s paradise, boasting multiple public and private courses, driving ranges and interactive experiences for those who prefer virtual sports.

Rockville is home to many assisted living facilities, each providing care for seniors who struggle with daily tasks in the home, such as cooking. Many of these facilities also provide 24-hour security without infringing on their residents’ autonomy. The median assisted living cost in Rockville, according to the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey, runs $6,000 per month. The average for Maryland is $5,000, while the national average is $4,300.

The costs of assisted living in Maryland are covered in more detail in this guide, as are the advantages and disadvantages of living in Rockville. There’s also a short list of resources that can help families considering assisted living.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Rockville

The Maryland Department of Health is ultimately responsible for ensuring assisted living facilities in the state operate to the required standards. The Office of Health Care Quality has direct responsibility, which includes issuing licenses and revoking them if facilities repeatedly violate standards. Although it has no authority, the monitoring work of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman factors in decisions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Rockville

  • Rockville seniors who are Medicare beneficiaries have 441 physicians to choose from, including family doctors, cardiologists and psychiatrists. There are also multiple hospitals in the area, such as the Shady Grove Medical Center and Suburban Hospital. Due to their proximity to Washington D.C., seniors can also travel to some of the finest hospitals in the country. 
  • When comparing Rockville’s crime statistics with the averages for the state and the country, it’s plain to see the city is safer than most. According to Neighborhood Scout, the chances of being involved in a violent crime in Rockville is 1 in 765, compared to 1 in 220 for Maryland. Property crime statistics are 1 in 74, against the state’s 1 in 51. It’s also worth noting that seniors are much less likely to be involved in a crime than all other age groups, as shown by figures released by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
  • According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit organization that educates citizens about their local environment, Rockville’s water quality exceeds government guidelines. Data from Clean Air Partners regularly shows Rockville, like all cities in the Washington, D.C., area, to have moderate air quality levels. Although this shouldn’t concern most residents, seniors with respiratory problems should take additional care. 
  • Montgomery County provides several options for seniors who need help getting around the area. Connect-a-Ride (CAR) is a free service that refers seniors to different transportation services based on their needs and budgets. These services can be private, public or administered by volunteers. There’s also Call-n-Ride, which is available to the over 65s and younger disabled adults on low incomes. Fees are based on a sliding scale determined by the individual’s level of income.
  • Figures published by Sperling’s Best Places suggest that seniors in Rockville enjoy a better climate than many of their peers across the region. Despite having 18 inches of snowfall annually, Rockville still gets 7.4 out of 10

Seniors and families looking for means of making assisted living more affordable will find options among the following resources. There’s also help for families concerned about the care their loved ones are receiving.

ResourceContactService
VA Aid and Attendance Benefits(301) 400-2465U.S. military veterans and their spouses living in residential care facilities can apply for the VA Aid and Attendance benefit to help meet some of their costs. It’s a monthly payment included in the VA pension that’s unique to each senior. The maximum payments are $1,881 for a single vet, $2,230 for a couple and $1,209 for a surviving spouse. VeteranAid.org provides a useful online tool for vets to check if they qualify for the benefit.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program(240) 777-3369The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program exists to ensure seniors in residential care facilities in Maryland are aware of their rights and know who to complain to if they have an issue with their facility. The families of residents and third parties can also register their concerns. Ombudsmen investigate all complaints and pursue resolutions between seniors and their facilities. The ombudsman also holds data about facilities that families can request to help inform their decisions regarding the best communities for their loved ones.
State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP)(301) 255-4250Medicare beneficiaries and seniors who have yet to enroll can request assistance from SHIP, which is a free counseling service administered by the Maryland Department of Aging. Counselors provide confidential face-to-face services that typically include advising seniors on the best Medicare plans for their coverage requirements and helping them to apply. Additionally, they may discuss private health care insurance but won’t try to sell plans. Their services are without bias. 
North Potomac Senior Center(240) 773-4805The North Potomac Senior Center provides older citizens with a wealth of opportunities to learn new skills, improve their fitness and join in the center’s frequent mini-trips throughout Washington D.C. and the mid-Atlantic region. There are also cultural programs and lectures from invited speakers on a wide range of subjects. Additionally, the center acts as a focal point for community-based services, such as consultations with SHIP counselors. For a small donation, the center provides hot meals at lunchtime on weekdays.
