“I'm very thankful for the friendly and competent staff at Country Meadows of Frederick that has maintained my 96 year-old father's well-being and health over the 4+ years of his residence there.”
“Such a sweet staff and really awesome facility, all around. We really enjoyed meeting everyone there and getting to see other residents enjoying activities and family time outside with a mobile barnyard event yesterday!”
“We placed my 94 year old mother here and she has loved it since day one. They make her feel so at home. My mother hates change but the way they have treated her has been wonderful. The place is very clean and orderly, can’t believe we got so lucky in choosing HeartFields at Frederick.”

How families pay for independent living in Maryland
Most Maryland families cover assisted living, memory care and independent living with private funds first, often drawing on savings and the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, where a family holds a policy, can also help offset monthly costs, though coverage varies by policy and it's worth reviewing the terms early. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that can be applied toward the cost of care in these settings.
