Mountain Maryland Cares Launches Maryland’s First Omega Home to Provide Compassionate End-of-Life Care in a Home-Like Setting
Maryland’s Allegany County, MD — Mountain Maryland Cares announces plans to open the first home in Allegany County, offering a peaceful, dignified, safe and loving home; with all the support needed for end-of-life care, free of any financial burden. The home will also be Maryland’s first Omega Network Home, joining more than 100 similar homes in 33 states nationwide that focus on comfort, compassion, and community-supported care for individuals in their final weeks of life.
Located on McMullen Highway in Cumberland, the home will provide a warm, residential environment where guests can receive around-the-clock attention while being surrounded by comfort, dignity, and human connection. A place where people in their final days will be cared for like beloved family and neighbors.
“Each of us involved in this effort understands firsthand how much compassionate end-of-life care matters,” said the Board of Mountain Maryland Cares. “Our goal is to offer a true home, one that honors life, eases suffering, and supports both guests and their loved ones.”
Mountain Maryland Cares is partnering with the Community Trust Foundation to raise funds needed to renovate the McMullen Highway property, train caregivers, and open the home’s doors. Donations made through this partnership are fully tax-deductible and go directly toward making the new home operational.
“The home will truly belong to the community,” the board added. “Whether someone has supported us from the beginning or is just learning about our work, every gift helps to make compassionate end-of-life care within reach for more families in Mountain Maryland.”
