Benefits for Older Adults

Maryland has a Medicare Savings Program that can cover many out-of-pocket expenses if you qualify.

Medicaid Long Term Care Services and Supports (LTSS) offers services with the goals of privacy, dignity, and respect. If eligible, people may receive long term care at home or in special facilities.

The Senior Assisted Living Subsidy (SALS) program helps older adults pay for a variety of services. These include meals, personal care, and 24-hour supervision for residents who need help.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income households buy healthy food.

Eligible older adults can receive money to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. The money can be used at local farmers markets and farm stands.

There are more than 250 places in Maryland where older adults can get a meal. These spots are great for meeting people, learning about nutrition, and taking part in health programs.

If you're an older adult with mobility issues, you might be eligible to get nutritious meals brought to you.

Maryland Equips provides free medical equipment and assistive technology. Anyone in Maryland who has an illness, injury, or disability can get this equipment for free.

This program is for adults aged 18 or older who cannot take care of themselves. It provides professional services to protect them from harm, abuse, or neglect.

Maryland Access Point (MAP) provides information and referrals on available financial, health, and support services for older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers in Maryland.

The Maryland State Health Insurance Assistance Program is here to help navigate issues related to Medicare.
