READ MOREThe 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.
The following figures were published in the Genworth Cost of Care Survey for 2020. They reveal that Rockville’s $6,000 cost is $1,000 higher than the Maryland average.

VA Aid and Attendance Benefits | (301) 400-2465 | U.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) 777-3369 | The 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) 255-4250 | Medicare 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) 773-4805 | The 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.

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. |
