Baltimore is the largest city in Maryland and a major seaport on the Chesapeake Bay. The city boasts a population of nearly 570,000 (as of 2022), and 14.1 percent of its residents are aged 65 or Not all older adults require daily help, but roughly 70 percent of seniors will require facility care or assisted living at some point. Fortunately, there are dozens of assisted living facilities in Baltimore and the surrounding suburbs to accommodate those who need support. We’ve researched the available options and compiled a list of the best assisted living communities in Baltimore. Read on to learn more about what the top communities in the area have to offer!

Our Methodology: How We Chose the Best Assisted Living in Baltimore

To better understand how we chose the assisted living communities in this guide, check out some of the most important criteria we consider:

  • Cost: The cost of assisted living is very important. We look at the cost of room and board and different levels of care. We prioritize communities that offer the best value but not necessarily the cheapest options.
  • Available care: Many communities in Baltimore and other cities offer multiple lifestyle and care options. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care are some of the most common offerings. Some communities may also offer respite care for caregivers, outpatient rehab, and even hospice care. We focus on communities offering more than one.
  • Reviews: We comb through hundreds of reviews to get an idea of people’s actual experiences. We can’t provide all the information we see, but we try to give an overview of what residents, family members, and staff have to say.
  • Amenities: Amenities can cover various services and features, from game rooms and swimming pools to art classes and weekly group excursions. We prioritize quality over quantity, but many of Baltimore’s best assisted living communities offer dozens of high-quality amenities.
  • Location: Location can have a big impact on residents’ overall experience. Certain locations may be easier to access for friends and family, while others may give residents a safe and fun neighborhood to explore. Everyone has unique preferences, but we try to focus on convenient and engaging locations.
  • Staff size: We focus on assisted living communities that offer high staff-to-resident ratios, often with a maximum of eight residents per caregiver.

How to Find the Right Assisted Living Community for You

If you’re on the fence about which assisted living community is right for you, there are a few tips you can use to make the process a little easier:

  • Identify your needs: Some communities are better equipped to manage certain needs than others. If your loved one has dementia, you’ll want to choose a community that offers memory care. If you believe you’ll need more comprehensive nursing care soon, you may want to choose a community that offers a full continuum of care. Make sure you identify your needs before making a decision.
  • Review your budget: Review your budget, then focus on communities in your price range. Medicare usually doesn’t cover assisted living costs, so most seniors depend on Social Security benefits, retirement savings, long-term care insurance, or a combination.
  • Read reviews: Reading reviews gives you accounts of people’s actual experiences with a community. It’s easy to assume a community with many five-star reviews is great, but you should still read some reviews to learn about the benefits and drawbacks of living there.
  • Visit communities: Schedule a tour or an impromptu visit before you make a decision. Seeing an assisted living community in person is one of the best ways to actually feel what it would be like to live there. It also allows you to speak directly with current residents and staff members.
  • Check licensing and certifications: Check that each community has up-to-date licensing and certifications to operate in Maryland.
  • Trust your gut: Do your best to narrow down your options. If you are still struggling to make a decision, go with your gut. Your intuition will often lead you to a community that’s a good fit for you.

What Is Living in Baltimore Like for Seniors?

Baltimore is a historical city with beautiful scenery, fascinating museums, and family entertainment. It’s a great place for many seniors, but there are certain aspects of life in Baltimore you’ll want to consider beforehand, especially if you plan to relocate there.

  • Climate: Baltimore has somewhat extreme weather during parts of the year. Summers can get hot and humid, while winters can be cold and windy. The winters may be a struggle for some seniors — especially when it snows — but autumn and spring are much more comfortable.
  • Health care: Baltimore has some of the best medical facilities in the country, including Johns Hopkins and Sinai Hospital.
  • Cost of living: Baltimore’s cost of living is a little higher than the national average, but slightly lower than the state average. In general, Baltimore is not very expensive, especially compared to nearby cities such as Washington D.C.
  • Walkability: Baltimore is among the most walkable cities in the country, thanks in part to its substantial public transportation system. Keep in mind that many of the most walkable neighborhoods reside near the city center, while neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city may be less convenient for walking.
  • Activities: Baltimore has a lot for older adults to enjoy, including professional sports, public parks, museums, golf, boating, shopping, and historical sites.
  • Safety: Baltimore has a reputation for crime, but many of its neighborhoods and outer suburbs are perfectly safe, especially when you’re living in a secure assisted living community.

How Much Does Assisted Living Cost in Baltimore, Maryland?

That’s roughly 19.5 percent more expensive than the national median of The median cost is a good starting point for your research, but certain locations, amenities, and levels of care impact the price. Memory care, for example, costs far more than traditional assisted living care.

Senior Living Ratings Methodology

Our experts spent over 50 hours researching the best communities in each city, focusing on these key factors.

Senior Living Ratings Methodology

Available Care

We value communities that offer more than standard living services, such as memory care and independent living. We think this is beneficial for older adults, as it allows a community to meet your changing needs over time.

Amenities

Amenities can help an assisted living community feel like a luxury resort or a home away from home. Our research focuses on communities that offer extra perks and benefits for seniors to enjoy.

Location

Location can be important. Since many seniors like to have certain comforts nearby, we look at communities close to parks, shopping areas, hospitals, museums, and other practical or entertaining points of interest.

Reviews

We read through dozens of reviews for every single contender and include a summary of our findings. In most cases, we see common themes regarding positive and negative feedback about each community. Just remember not to take individual reviews at face value.

Cost

Assisted living costs vary greatly based on the facility and level of care. We considered communities that are suitable for various budgets and offer solid value. All prices listed are from community websites.
