Which Baltimore-area assisted living programs offer memory care?
103 licensed programs in the Baltimore metro either report special care beds to OHCQ (51 programs, 1,518 beds) or tell MHCC they operate a secure Alzheimer's unit.
Maryland has no separate memory-care license. A program that wants to operate or even advertise an Alzheimer's Special Care Unit needs OHCQ's written approval of a description of the unit, and must give that description to any family before admission.

"Active" means listed on OHCQ's current directory; OHCQ does not publish license expiration dates or assisted living survey results in bulk.
What must a Maryland Alzheimer's Special Care Unit disclose?
Under COMAR 10.07.14.32 the unit's written description must cover its staff-to-resident ratio over 24 hours, whether staff are awake overnight, dementia training hours by job, admission and discharge criteria, activities, the physical design and the unit's fee structure.
Direct-care staff on the unit need at least six hours of advanced cognitive-impairment training -- two on communication, two on behavioral interventions and two on meaningful activities. Ask for the description by name on the first tour; compare it with what you see.
How much does memory care cost in Baltimore?
No published median exists for memory care in Maryland or anywhere else, because CareScout does not survey it separately; the closest benchmark is the 2025 Maryland assisted living median of $7,173 a month, and secured units are priced above that.
The Alzheimer's unit description must state the unit's fee structure, which makes it the most reliable price document you can get.
Is memory care the same as a nursing home?
No -- it is assisted living with added rules.
| Alzheimer's special care (assisted living) | Nursing home dementia care |
|---|---|
| OHCQ-licensed assisted living, Level 1-3 | Licensed comprehensive care facility, CMS-certified |
| Intermittent nursing via a delegating RN | 24-hour licensed nursing |
| Private pay, waiver or subsidy | Medicare (short rehab) or Medicaid long-term care |
