KOSHER ASSISTED LIVING Since 1994
Our Facility
Located in the heart of the Baltimore Jewish community, our brand new, custom-built residence is the result of 20 years of experience in running assisted living homes. We wanted to create a small, intimate home where residents feel they are among family. Investors told us: "Think Big!" "How many beds can you fit on your property?" We explained to them that we have a different focus. Our focus is creating a small and intimate environment, where caregiver and resident are friends and share a loving relationship. We do not subscribe to the corporate structure, where the focus is numbers, projections, and outcomes. Our focus is individualized loving care, directly from us to our residents.

ABOUT
What's different about Sterling Care Kosher Assisted Living?
Now in our beautiful, new residence to
serve you even better!
Locally Owned by Medical Professionals
Sterling Care is locally owned by a Registered Nurse and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who are on-site daily to personally care for and respond to residents.
Small Population = Personal Attention & Care
With an occupancy of just 16, our staff knows the unique personal and medical needs and background of every Sterling resident. As a result, we can offer a truly superior level of care and attention.
Competitive, Affordable Pricing
Even though Sterling Care Kosher Assisted Living offers highly personalized, one-on-one attention that you might expect to pay more for, our monthly costs are affordable and there are never any hidden fees. Our prices will remain reasonable even after we move into our custom-designed, beautiful new residence.
"
I am very impressed with the professionalism and 'Sterling Care' which the dedicated staff provide. Because the residents feel like part of a family, the environment of the Sterling facility is conducive to general health and emotional wellbeing. This is contrary to the environment in many larger institutions.

Julian Jakobovits, M.D.
"
The Sterling facility is focused on caring for every detail of the residents’ needs with compassion. The owners have, themselves, placed the calls to me regarding ill residents, and often accompanied them to my office. Their close involvement is what gives ‘Sterling’ that personal touch. When I greet them in my waiting room, I get the feeling that they are not just there as professionals, they are there as they would be for their own family member.

Sterling Care residents come from a spectrum of backgrounds. Some are seniors who lived independently. Others lived with family members, or in other congregate settings. Some are native Baltimoreans, others come from distant cities. Some are religious, others are not. Each has a unique personal history and set of values that contribute to the “Sterling family.”
What they all share is a desire to be in a place where they get lots of attention, superior care and a warm, kosher, Jewish environment.

STAFF
FAQs
How would you describe an ideal candidate for Sterling Care Kosher Assisted Living?
A good candidate would be someone who appreciates a heimeshe environment where they feel like they’re part of a family, not like customers in a hotel. We work well with seniors who need more close supervision and have challenging physical and/or psychological needs. We’re truly like a family and our residents care about each other.
​
What advice can you give to children of aging/declining parents who are trying to decide how to best care for them?
Don’t wait until there’s a crisis. Do your homework beforehand. Do the groundwork now before the crisis hits and there’s no time. Talk with people whose family is in a prospective facility or talk with people whose family are no longer there to find out why. Try to look through the eyes of the loved one who needs the care to focus on what’s most important to them, not what you like.
​
How affordable is Sterling Care Kosher Assisted Living?
Despite moving into a brand new residence, Sterling is reasonably priced. Our monthly fee includes room, personal care, medication administration, housekeeping, food, activities and assistance with activities of daily living. We have no hidden costs. The final fee is determined by the room location and the level of care needed. Payment is by the month and you are not tied into contracts. We also accept long-term care insurance.
​
Why should I choose Sterling Care Kosher Assisted Living instead of getting care at home?
Home care agencies supply personal aides that come to your own home to provide care. Sterling's custom-built residence offers residents all the comforts of home plus a wide variety of medical care and the added stimulation of activities and social interaction with other residents.
Does Sterling Care provide rehabilitation services?
Yes. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists see our residents as recommended by their physician. This is often the case when a resident comes to us directly from a hospital and is discharged with detailed therapy instructions.
There are so many options and the system is often confusing. It’s hard to know what to do.
We can help. We provide a free in-home consultation for you and your family members. We'll help you explore all the options available and make recommendations and/or appropriate referrals. Just give us a call.
