How is Riderwood Village overseen by Maryland OHCQ?
The Maryland Office of Health Care Quality licenses Riderwood Village as a Level 3 Assisted Living Program under COMAR 10.07.14, surveys it for license renewal and investigates complaints. Its license number, 16AL0611-L, is the reference to give OHCQ when you ask for survey results.
Maryland's level system is the key difference from DC and Virginia: the level on the license caps how much hands-on care the program may provide, so a resident whose needs rise above it has to move. Confirm the level with the program before signing.
What level of care is Riderwood Village licensed for?
OHCQ lists Riderwood Village as an Assisted Living Program at Level 3. Level 3 is Maryland's highest assisted living tier, approved for residents who need extensive help with daily activities. It reports 44 special care beds for residents with dementia. MHCC also identifies it as part of a continuing care retirement community.
Who is Riderwood Village a good fit for, based on its license?
Based only on its Maryland OHCQ record, Riderwood Village fits families planning for dementia care, because the license includes a dementia special care unit (44 special care beds). It may also suit residents with heavier personal-care needs, since Level 3 is Maryland's highest assisted living tier; couples or residents who want a continuing care campus with other levels of living on site; people who prefer a large community with more activities and amenities.
