Our Story
Tucked away on nearly an acre of quiet, lush land in the heart of Gaithersburg, Montgomery County, Maryland, Goddard Senior Living is something increasingly rare in senior care: a true home.
Not a facility. Not a campus. A home — with wide windows, warm meals, familiar faces, and people who know your name, your preferences, and your story.
We opened our doors with a simple but deeply held belief: every stage of life deserves to be lived with tenderness, dignity, connection, and purpose. With an intentionally intimate seven-resident home, we keep our focus exactly where it belongs — on the individual in our care.
Goddard Senior Living is licensed by the Maryland Department of Health as an Assisted Living Program authorized to provide Level 3 (High Level of Care) services in accordance with COMAR 10.07.14. Our home is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by trained and compassionate caregivers who are here not simply to assist, but to genuinely know and connect with each resident.
A Different Kind of Calling
Behind Goddard Senior Living is a story of purpose over convenience.
Amlan Das spent years building a successful career in corporate America — leading teams, driving results, and navigating the demands of a high-performance professional world. But over time, a quieter and more meaningful calling began to take hold.
Having witnessed the journey of aging loved ones up close, Amlan kept returning to a question he could not set aside:
Why isn’t there a place that truly feels like home?
In 2025, he answered that question by stepping away from the corporate path and pursuing what he now believes is among the most meaningful work a person can do — creating a place where older adults can receive exceptional care while continuing to feel known, valued, and at home.
As Goddard’s Administrator and Owner, Amlan brings professional rigor, personal warmth, and a deep sense of accountability to every aspect of resident care and experience.
For Amlan, Goddard is more than a place to live. It is a place to belong.
Alok shares that same conviction. A seasoned professional with a background in building and overseeing complex environments in the defense supply chain, Alok made a deliberate decision to redirect his expertise toward something more personal and enduring.
As co-owner and Property Manager, Alok is the reason our home feels the way it does — safe, beautifully maintained, welcoming, and thoughtfully cared for. From the condition of the home to the smallest details that make a resident or visiting family member feel comfortable, Alok believes that how a home feels matters just as much as how it functions.
Together, Amlan and Alok didn’t simply open a senior living business.
They created the home they would want for their own parents.
Why Small — Intentionally
In an industry increasingly shaped by scale, we have deliberately chosen a different path.
Seven residents means we can truly know the people in our care. Our caregivers know more than a care plan. They know how your loved one takes their coffee, what music makes them smile, whether they are an early riser, and the little things that make them laugh.
For older adults—particularly those navigating memory challenges, recovering from significant health events, or simply adjusting to a new chapter of life—consistency, familiarity, and genuine relationships matter. The people providing care become familiar faces, trusted companions, and an important part of daily life.
At Goddard, every resident is known. Every family is a partner. And every day is shaped around the people who call our home their own—not around a system built for scale.
