Starting with the Table of Contents, you might find some things you’d like to pursue now and learn about potential options for the future.

Each page includes the phone number of our Aging and Disability Services, (240) 777-3000. Please call us if you have any questions – our staff can help identify options that may be available and appropriate for your situation.

This Guide is possible through a longstanding partnership between Montgomery County government and the Beacon Newspapers. By working together to promote local resources, we help enable residents to live and thrive in Montgomery County throughout their lives.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING “The Maryland State Dental Association referred Dr. Chaudhary when I really needed a dentist to help my homebound mother, who has Alzheimer’s disease. She was amazing on how she handled my mother and her equipment was very impressive.”

- Joe Perron (Family) (Annapolis, MD) “Senior Smile helped me when I needed to be fitted for new dentures. They were very efficient in giving me my smile back. I am really ecstatic about my teeth and glad that they exist.”

- Billie Cook (Resident) (Frederick, MD)
