Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced that a Baltimore City grand jury has indicted Daquan Dwight Thomas, 39, of Owings Mills, for allegedly operating an assisted living facility without a license.
According to charging documents, Thomas, the owner and operator of Aim to Inspire Care Forever, applied for an assisted living license in January 2025, but the Maryland Department of Health’s Office of Health Care Quality denied the application in January 2026.
On March 30, 2026, state and city agencies conducted an inspection of the Baltimore property and discovered residents who required assisted living services. The Baltimore City Fire Marshal determined the property was unsafe for occupancy, and all residents were relocated to hospitals or licensed assisted living facilities.
Operating an unlicensed assisted living program is a felony under Maryland law. If convicted, Thomas faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
The case was investigated by the Maryland Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Vulnerable Victims Unit, with assistance from state and local agencies. Thomas is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
