We are pleased to provide this consumer information page for Assisted Living. This page gives consumers access to many sources of information which will assist them in selecting an assisted living facility. Making information available to the public is an OHCQ priority--we will be expanding this effort over the months to come.

Click here to access an assisted living facility's statement of deficiencies. Plan of corrections may be available upon request. If the statement of deficiencies is unavailable, please email lcjohnson@dhmh.state.md.us. Be sure to specify the name of the facility or facilities. Deficiencies result from annual surveys or complaint investigations. A statement of deficiencies, and the facility's plan of correction--its response to the deficiencies, are also required to be available at the assisted living facility. Deficiencies are violations of State regulations governing assisted living facilities (Code of Maryland Regulations 10.07.14). Some deficiencies are more significant in nature than others. Note: if you do not receive a response from our office within 3 business days, you may contact Mr. Lester Brown, Program Manager, at lbrown@dhmh.state.md.us. The OHCQ will respond to most requests via e-mail with no charge. Very large requests, requiring a great deal of time to complete, may result in a fee to offset expenses. We will advise you of a possible fee before fulfilling the request.

Assisted Living Provider Service Disclosure Form
Each Assisted Living provider is required by Maryland law to make available, upon request, a completed copy of the Maryland Assisted Living Program Uniform Disclosure Statement. The disclosure statement gives prospective residents and their families consistent categories of information, like staffing, services, and fees, from which to make an informed selection. If an Assisted Living Program fails to provide a completed Disclosure Statement to you with its marketing materials or upon your request, please contact our office.
