Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Howard County may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Howard County care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Howard County, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Montgomery, Prince George's or Carroll.

Residential Care Home
They were great, when she was there. The people were great, I wish she was still there. It was clean and they took good care of her.
Marianne's Assisted Living has been phenominal. My mother has been there for 3 years. The facility takes them to outtings such as bowling, outdoor singing presentations. During the day time if your mom is able they go to the senior center to have interactions there. In addition occasionally they will play in house games. Cheryl is very caring and ensures all her patients are treated with respect.
ACE ALF is a jewel. The level of care my dad received at other well known facilities can't compare to ACE. This place has been a blessing for my dad and our family. The staff has been so attentive to my dad. From overall hygiene, vibrant skin, and even a haircut and shave if needed, no detail is left undone in this facility. The place is kept clean, that you would never know it's a Senior Care Facility. The food is so exceptional that my dad is always asking for more. He gets 3 full course meals plus snacks, which you can provide if you like. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the owner was decisive and took the initiative to protect the residents before State officials released guidelines. The owner works diligently to ensure every resident feels at home. You can rest assured your loved one is receiving the personal care they deserve.
