Our read on Larkin Chase Center

Larkin Chase Center runs 120 certified beds in Bowie under corporate, for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 4% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday coverage, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. The inspection record is the heavier concern: 25 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, with a $127,440 fine and no health inspection since June 2022. Quality measure scores look strong, but those come from resident assessments, not from an inspector walking the building.
