Applying for Medicaid or the Senior Assisted Living Subsidy (SALS) involves several steps, and the process can vary depending on your individual circumstances. For Medicaid, you will need to complete an application through the Maryland Department of Health, which includes providing detailed information about your loved one’s income, assets, and medical needs. For the SALS program, you will need to apply through your local Department of Social Services. Assisted Living Direct offers resources and guidance to help you navigate these application processes, including checklists, application forms, and direct links to the appropriate agencies. Our goal is to make it easier for you to access the financial support your loved one needs.
Medicaid can assist with the cost of assisted living through various waiver programs that provide financial support for eligible individuals. In Maryland, Medicaid waivers are designed to help cover the costs of long-term care services, including assisted living, for those who qualify. These waivers typically cover services such as personal care, medication management, and other essential daily activities. Our platform provides detailed information on which facilities are Medicaid waiver certified, allowing you to easily find options that may be financially accessible through Medicaid support.

The Senior Assisted Living Subsidy (SALS) is a financial assistance program offered by the State of Maryland to help low- and moderate-income seniors afford the cost of assisted living. The subsidy is available to seniors who meet specific income and asset criteria and who need assistance with daily living activities but do not require nursing home care. Eligibility is determined by the local Department of Social Services, and the subsidy amount varies based on the county and the individual’s financial situation.
