Why the license level matters
Maryland RSA licenses are not one-size-fits-all. The appropriate level depends on the services your agency plans to provide, the needs of the clients you intend to serve, and the professionals involved in providing or overseeing care.
An agency offering assistance with everyday activities and personal care may need a different level than an agency planning to provide medication-related support, skilled nursing, or more complex services.
Why choosing correctly matters
Your application, policies and procedures, staffing plan, and supporting documents must align with the services you select.
Choosing a level that does not match the business plan may lead to correction requests, delays, or significant revisions. The right choice should be based on your agency's specific plan, not simply the level another agency selected.
