Heritage and Resorts of Augsburg sits on a 52-acre wooded campus in Baltimore, Maryland, with classic colonial buildings and some newer features, so when someone drives onto the property they might notice the mix of old and new, and they get plenty of green views all around. This senior community has been around since 1892, and it offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, so a person can stay as their needs change. Heritage at Augsburg covers independent living, with apartments that have kitchen appliances, laundry hookups, climate controls, and patios or balconies, and there are many floor plans like studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms with dens, and two-bedrooms with two baths, some with French doors to outside patios, and some with a view of the grounds, so people who want to live with more freedom and less hassle have those options.
Resorts of Augsburg and Heritage at Augsburg offer assisted living and skilled nursing, with help for bathing, dressing, meals, medication, and personal care, plus specialized care for memory needs like Alzheimer's and dementia, so residents can choose the support they need. There's always staff and nurses around, day and night, and the campus has emergency alert systems, safety checks, on-site security, and controlled access to help keep everyone safe. Short-term stays for respite are possible if someone needs a break or is recovering, and for those with medical needs, there's physical and occupational therapy, wound care, rehabilitation, and round-the-clock skilled nursing care.
The place has a long list of amenities, like a movie theater, computer room, gaming room, library, beauty salon, fitness center, wellness suite, and a business center. There's a garden, barbecue area, gazebo, patio, walking paths, and picnic spots outside, so people can get fresh air and spend time among trees. People who want to practice hobbies or meet others can use the arts and crafts area, book rooms for karaoke and bingo, or join religious services in the chapel, where a chaplain and pastor are on staff, and they also run support and counseling programs. Pets are allowed, and visiting pets are welcome, though cats and large dogs are fine but not small dogs.
Dining happens in a restaurant-style room, with meals from a professional chef and special diets for allergies and diabetes if needed, and guests can join for meals, or food can be delivered to apartments. There's a cafeteria meal plan for those in independent living-$350 per month-and a mix of formal and informal dining choices, so everybody finds something comfortable. Residents get housekeeping, laundry, linen services, pest control, and groundskeeping, all covered by staff. There's transportation services for shopping, appointments, and outings, both medical and non-medical, along with parking and accessible apartments for wheelchairs or walkers, and a shuttle for groups.
The health center is set up in six small neighborhoods, each with a kitchen, dining area, living room with a fireplace, and a sunroom to make things feel less like an institution and more like a set of homes. Residents take part in wellness and therapy programs-meditation, yoga, stretching, fitness classes, brain games, and group events-and there's always something on the calendar, from life enrichment and music to recreation, happy hour, and movie nights. Residents can also use the convenience store on campus and have access to spiritual care and religious counseling.
The staff focus on keeping the buildings and grounds clean and welcoming, and families say folks working here are friendly and do their best to make everyone feel comfortable. There's a focus on finding the right care for each person, with personalized treatment plans, so whether someone wants social activities or just a quiet spot to read, they can find it here. Heritage and Resorts of Augsburg accepts checks for rent and fees, has a no-smoking policy throughout, and remains both affordable and non-profit, serving Baltimore seniors with as much independence and dignity as possible.
