Payment Options: In Maryland, Medicaid may help pay for assisted living through the Community Options Waiver, Waiver for Older Adults. Eligibility is based on both financial and functional criteria. Contact Maryland Department of Health or visit https://health.maryland.gov/mmcp/longtermcare/Pages/Home.aspx to learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
