Our read on Oakland Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Oakland Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a for-profit, LLC-owned home with 100 certified beds in Garrett County, and the numbers behind its record are worth understanding. Nurse staffing sits at 3.16 hours per resident day, roughly 18 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 10 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover lands at 45.3 percent, essentially in line with the national figure, which means this isn't a churn problem so much as a thin-staffing one. What stands out most is the inspection record: 72 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 abuse-related, with $16,559 in fines and a December 2025 inspection. All three CMS star ratings come in at one out of five.
