  • Conveniently located in Annapolis. Our community is tucked back in the trees with wooded views, yet easy to visit and still close enough to local attractions for fun outings.
  • Unparalleled reputation with families and providers who know. With more than 30 years of consistent local leadership and a management team in place for 5-15 years, there’s a reason we have so many five star reviews, and why we’re the top choice for local families.

My cousin who was 89 was admitted to Annaploitan assisted living four years ago and after two years was moved to memory care. In the assisted living they made sure she ate and if she didn't they brought food to her. The staff knew her by name and interacted with her even the custodian, the manager and the receptionists. The staff encouraged her to do dinner and the various activities. When she declined, they noticed that she would be happier in the memory care unit. Whenever I visited which was often the staff encouraged everyone to be involved in the activities. They treated everyone with loving care and respect. When she declined even farther, it took two staff to get her into a wheelchair and to bathe her. They could have left her in the bed to deteriorate. They increased their care for her even when she neared the end of her life. They made sure she did not stay alone in her room and while they could, they encouraged her to get up. They placed her among the others to at least be a part of social activity even though she was not totally aware. When it was obvious she would leave us soon, they made sure they continued to be in and out of her room, talking to her, singing to her, keeping her clean and doing everything possible to meet her needs and make her comfortable. They held her hand at the very end and talked her into letting go. When I went to retrieve her belongings so many of the staff came to me and we cried together. They said how much they would miss her. Their love and care was exceptional. Living 100 miles away, I knew my cousin was in loving capable hands.

My mom lived at Annapolitan for a year until she passed in February. We were very happy with the care she received. Jim, the Administrator, has been there for 14 years and he takes a lot of pride in his work. Many of his staff members have been with him for a long time including his head nurse, Crystal. She was always very responsive to our questions. Thank you to the entire team at Annapolitan for taking great care of our mom. The Steelers flower arrangement that was sent to the funeral home was something we'll never forget!

We moved our mom here about three weeks ago from a place that was more expensive and not very caring. Annapolitan Assisted Living is a hidden GEM! This place is organized, caring, spectacular! In less than a month our mom is smiling again, out of her room doing activities again, and she is even playing the piano again! The nurses are wonderful and caring. The director is amazing. Most workers have been here for over 7 years, and you can tell they enjoy their jobs. The dining hall is great, and we just love them all! We are so glad that someone told us about this gem of a place, otherwise, they don't advertise and they don't spend extra money doing it because they aren't a corporation. What a lovely place! Thank you!

Look no further, this assisted living home is amazing! My mother lived in an assisted living facility prior to moving to Annapolitan Assisted Living, and while we are thankful that her prior facility kept her safe and cared for, her former assisted living experience was no comparison to the wonderful experience she has had at the Annapolitan. My mom has lived here for almost three years and I am always impressed by how professional the staff is, and how kind they are to my mother. Additionally, the activities director always has terrific parties for the residents and the residents’ family and friends, and they take residents on outings to restaurants, parks, and even Bowie Baysox baseball games. During the COVID pandemic, the facility manager was absolutely terrific in balancing the health needs of residents with their emotional need to see family and friends, and implemented common sense precautions to protect residents. The entire staff is top-notch, friendly and caring. If you are looking for a place for yourself or your loved one, the Annapolitan is a terrific choice!

At this Thanksgiving time of year, our family has much to be thankful for, not the least of which was our decision four years ago to choose The Annapolitan as Dad’s new residence. Dad is now 105 years old and is extremely happy in his surroundings. There is not a doubt in our minds that Dad’s happiness is solely due to the care, compassion, and respect he receives from the dedicated staff and management. I have written two or three previous reviews so that other families can make the right choice for the care of their loved ones. Those reviews have been equally balanced between the staff’s excellence and that of The Annapolitan’s management, but this time I want to commend, applaud, and extend our gratitude more specifically to Jim Thompson, the Director. By anyone’s measure, by any standard, I do not think there could be a better director of an assisted living facility. The quality and consistency of care over the four years of Dad’s residency has been unwavering and above reproach, and is indicative of Jim’s skills. He is kind, calm, and attentive to residents and family alike, yet maintains a professional demeanor that inspires confidence. His understanding, response, and communication during the current Covid-19 crisis is to be applauded, yet I think he does not get enough credit. Most people probably wouldn’t realize the number of masters that Jim has been serving this year: the Health Department, the Governor’s regulations, his residents, his staff, his families, and, of course, the Virus. Even after the most recent round of on-site testing, which resulted in a very unexpected 32 “Positives,” Jim had every person retested within eight hours. Every one of those 32 retests came back as “Negative.” Jim and The Annapolitan have had in impeccable record of performance and communication during a very unpredictable and uncertain time. Our family is very grateful. In closing I want to send a message to my own family members…If I ever need assisted care, PLEASE check me into “Hotel Annapolitan.” Marion Frost

Words cannot express my appreciation for Annapolitan Assisted Living during my dad's stay of almost 2 years. The staff is top notch as is the management. It is true what the reviews are saying. Annapolitan AL is a great place, good food, fun parties, outings and more. My dad was so very happy there. Also, we as a family were happy that he had a safe and loving environment that included us any time day or night. I was very concerned when he had to be moved to the memory care unit. I quickly learned that the advice I was given (that it was time) was spot on. Although he was not in memory care for very long due to a lung illness and a stroke he received excellent care from the staff. They worked tirelessly to make him comfortable and I will be forever grateful. Part of the sadness of losing my dad is that I will miss seeing on a regular basis all of the folks that helped our family to make his last years great years. Don't overlook this place in your search for excellent care and an extended group of family and friends!

Respite Care for My Dad: This place is awesome! Everyone is really kind and helpful. My dad was skeptical at first but found the place to be really nice. It is spotlessly clean with none of the smells you find at other places. Jim worked with me to get him registered and all the required paperwork prior to him checking in. I love this place and will keep them in mind for upcoming respite care needs and any long term care needs that may arise! What a hidden gem! Oh, and the pictures you see are true to date - none of the styling that other places have and when you arrive it looks totally dated and dirty and old!

My Mom has been at the Annapolitan since 2013. She loves it. The activities, the friends and family events ... she’s made great friends. Mom plays bridge and the Annapolitan drove her to the Senior Center every Tuesday free of charge. We love the free family meals. The food is excellent. Hats off to Chef Eric. Highly recommend.

Accommodations start at $144/day. You can find the full list of our rates and current availability (including memory care) on the assisted living fees and availability page.

Our current availability (including memory care) can be found on the assisted living fees and availability page.

For seniors with memory loss, a detailed assessment by a professional will determine whether assisted living or memory care is the best option.

The two most important factors are safety and socialization. As part of the assessment process, we look at risks to physical and emotional safety to determine where your loved one will be safest and most at ease.

Learn more about the process: Memory Care at Cattail Cove.

Yes. We offer private studios with private baths, and suites with two private bedrooms that share an entry and bath. There are cozy lounges on each floor, as well as abundant space throughout the community, like the dining room, library, activities room, and fireplace lounge.

Current availability and rates.

Yes! Residents and families enjoy our big front patio and wraparound deck off the dining room, plus wooded views from many resident rooms. When the weather is nice, it’s common to be greeted by residents enjoying the patio in front of our building.

The best time to look for assisted living is before there’s an emergency. Generally, families look to assisted living when they notice a loved one becoming isolated or having difficulty with daily tasks like managing medications, meal preparation, laundry, and personal care. Assisted living offers a supportive environment where daily tasks are expertly managed, and a community of peers and helpers are just outside the door.

  • Mom’s introduction to the Annapolitan went great. Everyone we met was kind and welcoming, and always willing to stop and help or to answer questions. We stayed to have dinner with her, and the meal was great.
    I especially appreciate Donald’s help with hanging curtains and pictures, and that he took time to do it the same day mom moved in!
    Daughter of Resident
  • I very much appreciate the care your staff gave [my father], always with love and dignity.
    I was so comfortable knowing he was taken care of when I wasn’t there, and I was around enough to know that it was 24/7 – it’s just the way you operate. I’m so grateful for everything, I don’t know how you do it but I’m glad you do.
    Daughter of Resident
  • We want to express again our thanks to you and your staff for providing Mom with a safe and comfortable home…
    In particular, the Cattail Cove [memory care] staff were caring and sweet to Mom, and always responsive to our questions and requests.
