Hospice Recommendations in Maryland

[Anonymous]

Can someone recommend a good hospice care center in Maryland (near Bethesda)? I have a meeting with a palliative care specialist tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone had recent experience with this.

We used the Gilchrist Hospice center in Columbia, MD and were very happy with the care provided. We used their inpatient services.
I tried to post their link, but am having trouble with it. I know they also have a center near Baltimore.
Hopefully there will be others with experiences in Montgomery County, but I just wanted you to know about Gilchrist.
Best of luck to you and sorry you are going through this.

Thank you. I will look them up.

My mom had ALS and was at Casey House on Muncaster Mill in Rockville. Good experience for what it was. She died at home but was there several times when my dad had to travel.

Thank you for the recommendations! This gives me a place to start.

I worked for Gilchrist in Baltimore 15+ years ago. It was a well run program then (I was not medical staff, but I loved working with them). My father just had hospice care from a nursing facility in southern Maryland last month, and the experience/service was not even in the same ballpark as what Gilchrist provided. Good luck, and I'm sorry you are going through this.
