The Gilchrist House is a 24 bed, 32,000 square feet facility which is the first in Maryland to be designed and built exclusively for inpatient hospice care. The facility has the look of a country manor, with a high pitched slate roof, walls of Patapsco River stone, large exterior windows, and French doors which lead to either a balcony or patio at every patient room. The typical array of interior finishes throughout is supplemented by wood flooring, wood trim and custom casework in the patient rooms which was designed to conceal most medical equipment.
