READ MOREMaryland has a relatively high cost of living, and that’s reflected in its assisted living prices. Seniors in the state pay an average of $4,673 per month for assisted living, much more than the national average of $4,000. In the western Maryland city of Hagerstown, seniors pay prices that are high even by Maryland standards at $5,045 per month.
Assisted living prices vary widely throughout Maryland. Seniors in the California area pay a whopping $5,900 per month, on average. The second-most expensive city, Salisbury, comes in at $5,315 per month. The state’s most budget-friendly city for assisted living, Cumberland, is significantly more affordable at just $3,650 per month.

A senior’s monthly care bill varies significantly depending on the type of care they require, as reported by Genworth’s 2018 Cost of Care Survey. Seniors who live in Hagerstown’s assisted living facilities can expect to pay $5,045 per month, on average. Their counterparts in the city’s nursing homes pay $9,353, which is approximately $4,300 more per month. In-home senior care services, at $3,813 per month, cost approximately $1,230 less than assisted living. These prices are just for the care itself, so seniors should also consider the other costs of living at home, such as utilities, groceries and maintenance. Depending on a senior’s monthly budget, staying at home could be more expensive than moving to an assisted living facility.

Almost 1.2 million Marylanders are enrolled in Medicaid, a government-run program that provides health coverage to people with low incomes and limited resources. Medicaid recipients, who include seniors, children and people with disabilities, can receive a number of medical services at low or no cost. These include physician services, physical therapy, hospital services, emergency medical transportation and personal care services.
Seniors may qualify for Maryland’s Aged, Blind and Disabled Medicaid category if they earn less than $350 per month and have less than $2,500 in assets. Couples may be eligible with a combined income of less than $392 per month and total assets of less than $3,000. Seniors who receive SSI benefits are automatically eligible for Medicaid.
There are many ways that seniors can apply for Medicaid coverage. The fastest way is to submit an online application through myDHR. Seniors who prefer to apply in person can stop by the Washington County Department of Social Services. This office is located at 122 N. Potomac St. in Hagerstown. Mailing a paper application to this office is another option.
Seniors who need help applying for Medicaid can call Maryland Health Connection at (855) 642-8572.
Home and Community-Based Options Waiver
Maryland’s Home and Community-Based Options waiver helps nursing home-eligible seniors live at home or in the community. Seniors can receive a number of waiver-specific services, including assisted living, family training and case management. They can also receive personal care services, transition services, nurse monitoring and other Medicaid services.
Seniors who have a verified need for nursing home care may qualify for this waiver program if they meet its financial requirements. The income limit for the program is 300% of the federal SSI benefit rate. Depending on a senior’s eligibility category, the asset limit is either $2,000 or $2,500.
Seniors who currently live in a nursing home and want to move to assisted living can apply by calling Medicaid’s Long-Term Care and Waiver Services at (410) 767-1739.
For seniors who don’t live in nursing homes, there’s a wait list. To learn more, call the Maryland Department of Health’s Waiver Services Registry at (844) 627-5465.
Increased Community Services Program
The Increased Community Services program is designed to help seniors move out of nursing homes. It offers many of the same services as the Home and Community-Based Options waiver, such as assisted living, transition services and personal care services.
Seniors may be eligible for this program if they’ve lived in a nursing home for at least three months. Within that time, at least 30 days of nursing home care must be eligible for Medicaid coverage. The services that a senior wants to receive in the community, such as assisted living care, must cost less than what they’re currently receiving in the nursing home.
Like the Home and Community-Based Options waiver, this waiver has an asset cap of $2,000 or $2,500 depending on a senior’s eligibility category. Seniors who earn more than 300% of the federal SSI benefit rate need to use their excess income to contribute to their care costs.
Seniors who are interested in this program can contact Maryland Access Point at (844) 627-5465.
Senior Assisted Living Group Home Subsidy
The Senior Assisted Living Group Home Subsidy is a state-run program that helps seniors pay for assisted living services. These services are provided in a group home setting and may include 24-hour supervision, personal care and meals. The program may pay the difference between a senior’s income and their monthly assisted living fees. The maximum payment is $650 per month.
Seniors may be eligible for this program if they:
At the local senior center, seniors can take a variety of free or low-cost classes, including exercise classes, health classes and Spanish classes. Painting, sewing and chess are just some of the fun activities that seniors can participate in. The center’s cafe serves affordable soups, sandwiches and other freshly prepared meals.
