Northwest Healthcare Center runs 91 beds under corporate ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.39 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the quietest days get the thinnest staffing. Turnover is the bright spot: 32.9% against a national 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay. Inspections in January 2026 produced 28 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though four were abuse-related, worth asking about directly. All three CMS ratings land at 4 of 5 stars.
Autumn Lake Healthcare Post-Acute Care Center is a 225-bed for-profit in Baltimore with staffing that edges past the national average, 3.99 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86, though weekends run about 11% thinner than weekdays. Turnover sits at 21.8%, less than half the national rate of 45.8%, which suggests a steadier workforce than most. The catch is inspection history: 46 deficiencies on record, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, and a two-star health inspection rating. Quality measures scored five stars, and the most recent inspection was November 2025. Strong numbers on care and retention, weaker ones on compliance.
Future Care Sandtown-Winchester runs leaner on nursing hours than the typical American nursing home, about 3.59 per resident day against a national figure near 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 13% below what the home staffs on weekdays, so a Saturday or Sunday shift is where you'd notice the squeeze most. What stands out in the other direction is retention: turnover of 14.8% is strikingly low against a 45.8% national average, meaning the people caring for residents largely stay put from year to year. The current record lists 38 deficiencies, none rated as causing harm, though four involve abuse. A February 2025 inspection means the picture is recent.
Future Care Canton Harbor sits on Baltimore's east side with 160 certified beds and a corporate owner. Inspectors visited recently, in September 2025, and the record still carries 53 deficiencies, including one tied to harm or jeopardy and seven flagged as abuse-related, a heavy count for a single building, even with a five-star inspection rating attached. Staffing runs about 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover lands at 38%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which suggests some stability in who's showing up. The quality measures look strong on paper; the deficiency history is what pulls the overall picture down.
Future Care Homewood runs 4.33 nursing hours per resident day, which is about 12% above the national average of 3.86, genuinely good staffing on paper. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops roughly 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the hours aren't distributed evenly. Turnover sits at 44.8%, essentially the national average, and there's a long deficiency history: 64 citations on the current record, including 2 abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level. The last inspection was May 2025, so the record is recent. That B reflects a home that staffs above average but carries a heavy citation load from its for-profit, LLC ownership.
Future Care Charles Village runs 109 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.67 hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop about 13% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover hits 50.9% against a national 45.8%, so consistent hands are hard to keep. Its inspection record carries 43 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level; the last survey was in October 2025. Quality measures score well, staffing and inspections sit mid-range. A workable option, but ask specifically about weekend coverage and how abuse-related findings were resolved.
Lochearn is a 200-bed for-profit in Baltimore with 30 deficiencies on its record, but none of them reached harm or jeopardy level, and none were abuse-related. That matters more than the raw count. Its last inspection was in January 2026, so the picture is current. Staffing sits at 3.91 hours per resident day, barely above the national average, and weekends run about 12% leaner than weekdays, worth asking about if your family member needs more help on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 38.1%, better than the 45.8% national figure. Federal inspectors rate quality measures at the top and health inspections near the top, with staffing more middling.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Bridgepark runs on a for-profit corporate model with 106 certified beds, and its staffing is its clearest strength, 4.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a fifth above the national average. Weekend coverage dips about 7% below weekday levels, though, and turnover sits at 40.4%, better than the 45.8% national figure but still meaning four in ten caregivers left within the year. The harder reading is the inspection record: 71 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and four tied to abuse, with a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating on the most recent survey in June 2025. The quality and staffing stars look better, but the deficiency history is what a family should ask about directly.
Levindale Hebrew Ger Ctr & Hsp has 210 certified beds and runs on a nonprofit corporate model. The staffing numbers here are genuinely better than most: 4.48 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 16% above the national average, with a 4/5 CMS staffing rating to match. Weekend coverage slips about 6% below weekday levels, and turnover at 44.8% sits just under the national rate.
The trouble is what inspections keep finding. A 2/5 health inspection rating, 69 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and seven tied to abuse. One fine totaling $10,361. The last inspection was November 2024, so the record is recent. Strong staffing hasn't translated into a clean survey history.
Good Samaritan Nursing Home, LLC runs 146 beds in Baltimore under for-profit LLC ownership, and its inspection record is fresher than most, last surveyed in May 2025, with a 4-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The catch is staffing. At 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 5% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 9% thinner than its own weekdays, so coverage depends on when you visit. Annual turnover of 53.1% is well above the 45.8% national figure, which means aides and nurses cycle through faster than average. Forty-six deficiencies sit on the current record, two of them abuse-related, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level.
Autumn Lake Healthcare At Overlea runs 160 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the place to start: 64 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. The health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, though the most recent visit was in April 2025, so the picture is current. Nurse staffing averages 3.25 hours per resident day, roughly 16 percent under the national figure, and weekends run about 6 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover, at 42.4 percent, is actually slightly better than the national rate. Resident care measures rate 4 out of 5, but thin coverage and that deficiency history are the bigger story.
The Nursing and Rehab Center at Stadium Place runs 49 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing is thinner than most: 3.61 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 15% below its own weekday levels. Annual turnover sits at 51%, higher than the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are often new to the building. The inspection record is the heavier concern, 60 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, from a July 2025 survey. Quality measures score well, but that reflects charted care, not the hands available each shift.
Future Care Irvington runs 4.18 nurse hours per resident day, about 8% above the national average, which is a real point in its favor. But look at the rest: weekend staffing drops roughly 10% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit, and annual turnover sits at 50.7% against a national 45.8%. The inspection record shows 44 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse, with a single fine of $8,417. The last inspection was September 2025, so the picture is current. Staffing quantity is decent; consistency isn't, and that gap shows in the numbers.
Future Care Cold Spring carries 137 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing tells a story worth sitting with. At 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 10% below the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday coverage. That gap matters because 59.2% of staff left over the past year, well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people providing care keep changing.
The inspection record is heavier still: 75 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse. One fine totaling $16,042 is on file, and the most recent inspection came in October 2025. Quality measures score well, but that doesn't offset what the staffing and inspection numbers show.
Autumn Lake Healthcare At Long Green runs 135 beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and the numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.63 hours per resident day, about 6% under the national average, with weekends running roughly 15% leaner than weekdays, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover of 59.1% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning many of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. The inspection record is the harder read: 83 deficiencies on file, including six tied to abuse, though none rose to harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was in February 2026.
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.
