Levels of Care
                          
In Maryland assisted living facilities are licensed to provide up to 3 levels of care depended on how much assistance residents need. 

� Level 1:  Provider is authorized to take care of residents with low care needs
� Level 2: Provider can also take care of residents with moderate care needs
� Level 3:  Provider allowed to provide care for residents with high-level care needs (as well as residents with low or moderate needs)

If a person is mentally sharp, only takes medication for arthritis pain, and only needs assistance with dressing and bathing he or she would be classified as needing a low level of care. 

A person would need a high level of care if they are mentally confused by dementia, has a complicated list of powerful medicines that must be given at different times each day.
