About Merakey Maryland Way
Helping people stay engaged, independent, and connected throughout life, Merakey Maryland Way is an aging and autism services center for older adults, children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families. They support age-related daily-living needs, autism-related communication and behavioral concerns, and challenges affecting independence through home-based aging care and specialized autism services.
Support Independence at Every Stage
Their aging services include home care, personal assistance, in-home counseling, and peer support to help older adults remain safely connected to their communities. Autism services add applied behavioral analysis (ABA), specialized therapies, transition planning, independence coaching, communication training, and daily-living skill development. Together, these programs strengthen practical abilities, relationships, confidence, and community participation.
Build Connection across Lifespans
Located along Maryland Way, this center is part of Merakey, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people, families, and communities. Merakey began in Philadelphia in 1969 as The Northwest Center, later became NHS Human Services, and has grown into a multi-state provider serving 12 states across behavioral health, autism, addiction recovery, intellectual and developmental disability, education, foster care, aging, and veteran services. At this location, they carry that mission forward by supporting communication, everyday independence, dignity, and meaningful connection across different stages of life.
