Senior Care
Senior Care provides case management and support services for people age 65 years or older who are at risk of nursing home placement. Eligible adults may qualify for in-home help with personal care, chores, medications, medical equipment and supplies, adult day care, respite care, home-delivered meals, transportation, and emergency response systems.
Senior Call Check and Social Connections
Senior Call Check and Social Connections provides peace of mind to families and caregivers of older adults who live alone by providing daily check-in services. If the program participant cannot be reached, notifications go out to a designated emergency contact. The service is free.
Long-Term Caregiving
Maryland Medicaid programs and waivers provide community services options as an alternative or a delay to accessing care in a nursing home. Programs offer support with activities of daily living, nursing assistance, and specialized medical care to help program participants remain at home.
Other programs to help Marylanders age in place may be available. For example:
The Maryland Family Caregiver Support Program helps family and informal caregivers care for a loved one at home.
Medical and Adult Day Care Services can help caregivers by providing medical care to their care recipient during the day in a community-based setting.
Contact your local MAP office to learn about available housing programs that you may qualify for.
Medical Equipment and Assistive Technology
The right equipment can help older adults and people with disabilities stay safer in their homes and communities. Maryland Equips offers free medical equipment and assistive technology without the need for insurance or a prescription. The service is available to Marylanders of all ages.
