Autumn Lake Healthcare At Alice Manor runs about 105 beds in Baltimore under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers tell two different stories. The clinical quality measures look strong, but nurse staffing sits at 3.18 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, with weekends running about 9 percent thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover near 70 percent against a national 46. Then there's the record: 55 deficiencies, including four tied to abuse and one serious enough to raise harm or jeopardy concerns. Staffing that thin, turning over that fast, is what tends to sit behind a citation record like that. The last inspection was in May 2025, so the picture is current. Worth asking hard questions about who's actually on the floor, especially on weekends.
St. Elizabeth runs 3.98 nurse hours per resident day, slightly above the national average, but that cushion thins on weekends, staffing drops about 14% from weekday levels. The bigger issue is turnover: 66.7% of staff leave each year versus 45.8% nationally, which makes consistent care hard to maintain. Inspectors have cited 43 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, with $66,996 in fines on record. The last inspection was February 2026, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well, but a for-profit LLC with that turnover and those deficiency numbers is a real risk for families weighing placement.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Homewood runs 112 beds in Baltimore under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing is the first thing to look at. At 3.42 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 11% under the national average, weekends drop roughly another 11% below its own weekday level, and turnover hits 65.7% against a national 45.8%, that's nearly two-thirds of the staff leaving each year.
The inspection record backs up the pattern: 77 deficiencies on file, including 7 tied to abuse, with a 1-out-of-5 inspection rating. Quality measures score 4 out of 5, but that's the one bright spot in an otherwise thin picture. The most recent inspection was July 2025.
Carroll Park Healthcare runs 3.32 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 8% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. The record is heavier still: 117 deficiencies, 8 of them at harm or jeopardy level and 12 abuse-related, plus a $306,550 CMS fine. Staff turnover sits at 49.4%, a bit above the national 45.8%, which means the people providing care keep changing. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, a designation reserved for homes with a pattern of serious problems. The most recent inspection was November 2025.
Autumn Lake Healthcare At Arlington West runs 82 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.61 hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts land when families tend to visit. Turnover runs 43.8%, essentially in line with the national figure of 45.8%, so that's not the standout problem here. The inspection record is: 45 deficiencies on file, none flagged at harm or jeopardy level, though 7 are abuse-related. Its most recent inspection was June 2025, and CMS scored staffing and health inspections at 2 out of 5 stars each.
Westgate Hills runs leaner than most: 3.59 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 17 percent below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because needs don't take weekends off. Staff turnover sits at 56.6 percent, well above the 45.8 percent national figure, so the people providing care change often. The current inspection record carries 74 deficiencies, including six tied to abuse, though none rose to the harm or jeopardy level. State inspectors were last on site in April 2025. Quality measures look strong here, but the staffing and inspection numbers are where a family should focus their questions.
