Websites for Maryland group homes.

1. Put your level of care up front. A Maryland Assisted Living Program is licensed for one of three levels of care: low, moderate or high. A family comparing homes for a parent wants that answer first, so print the level on your licence near the top of the home page, in those words.
2. Say who you are licensed through. A home under DDA, an assisted living program under MDH and a Certified Adult Residential Environment home under DHS each get found by different people. One clear line naming yours stops the wrong calls and brings the right ones.
3. Match your size to your licence. No more than three people in an ALU, four to eight in a developmental disabilities group home, and for assisted living, the number of beds on your licence. Write how many you serve and whether a room is open, and update it from your admin page the day it changes.
4. Let the rooms do the talking. Bright, straight phone photos of the actual bedrooms, kitchen and yard tell a family more than stock pictures of smiling strangers. We correct them so they look their best and stay true; see what that looked like for a group home we did in Virginia.
5. Quote the state, don’t paraphrase it. Licence numbers, waiver details and admission rules go up exactly as your paperwork says. Send us the document and we copy it word for word; we never fill those in from memory.
6. All of it happens online. There’s no meeting to book. Fill in a short form with your home’s name and a phone or email, and we write the pages.

Everything a Maryland home needs to be found and called, for one price.
