Independent Living in Maryland

Overview of Independent Living in Maryland

The state of Maryland falls in the middle of the country’s Northeast, Southern, and Midwestern regions, and its culture combines elements of them all. This is part of why Maryland earned the nickname “America in Miniature.” With the Appalachian Mountains passing through the far western part of the state, and the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coastlines in the east, Maryland’s geographical features give residents plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities — even in a small state. Annapolis and Baltimore are also home to many historic Colonial sites, and Washington, D.C. sits on Maryland’s southern border. Maryland is a transition state in several ways, which helps make it an attractive retirement destination.Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 100 independent living communities in Maryland.

The median monthly cost of independent living in Maryland is about $3,600.

Most of the staff is Spanish speakers first. You may have some problems there. Transportation to doctors appointments may be a issue. They only run Tuesday and Friday. There's a mileage limitation on that....
