Chancellor Gardens of Ellicott City, a $12 million assisted-living community, is scheduled to open this winter on Dorsey Hall Drive.

The 84,000-square-foot facility, which is being developed by CareMatrix Corp. of Needham, Mass., will feature 110 apartments ranging in size from studio to two bedrooms.

The majority of units will provide living assistance, including help with bathing, dressing, medication and dining and housekeeping. The remaining 16 units will be part of a care area for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other memory disorders.

CareMatrix, which specializes in hospitality and care services, operates about 28 senior communities nationwide and is developing 75 others.
