All 39 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Baltimore,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Loch Raven runs on thinner nursing coverage than most homes, 3.57 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, with weekends dropping roughly 11% below its own weekday staffing. That pattern matters because the hours are already lean before the weekend dip. Staff turnover sits at 50.5%, above the 45.8% national figure, so half the nursing workforce turns over in a year at a 113-bed for-profit limited liability company. The inspection record shows 89 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none at the harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was September 2025. Resident outcomes score well even as the staffing and inspection sides lag.
Franklin Woods Center is a for-profit home in Baltimore with 117 certified beds, and its inspection record is genuinely solid, a four-star health inspection rating and no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. What pulls it back is staffing: 3.68 nurse hours per resident day sits about 5% under the national average, weekend coverage drops roughly 14% below its own weekday level, and turnover runs 49.5% against a national 45.8%. The three abuse-related deficiencies on record are worth asking about directly. Quality measures also rate four stars, so care outcomes look better than the raw staffing numbers would suggest. Ask how the weekend schedule actually gets covered.
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.
Blue Point Healthcare Center is a 135-bed for-profit home in Baltimore, and the numbers pull in different directions. Its quality measure score is strong, but that sits on top of a one-star health inspection rating and a record of 80 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse. A single fine of nearly $342,000 has been levied. Nurse staffing runs about 3.27 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average, and weekend coverage dips slightly below its own weekday level. Staff turnover, at 33%, is actually better than the 45.8% national figure. The last inspection was recent, December 2025.
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 Perring Parkway runs a 125-bed for-profit home in Baltimore, and the staffing picture is the first thing I'd flag. At 3.39 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday coverage, so the hours get thinnest exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is 38.8%, which is actually better than the national 45.8%, and the quality measure rating is a perfect 5 out of 5, both real strengths. But 55 deficiencies on record, one at harm level and a $32,383 fine, with the last inspection in December 2025, tell you the care has gaps worth asking about directly.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Parkville runs 135 beds under corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a recent July 2025 survey and solid ratings on health inspections and quality measures. The trouble sits in staffing. At 3.25 nurse hours per resident day, it comes in about 16% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops roughly 9% below its own weekday level, so the thinnest shifts are when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.5% runs above the national 45.8%, which matters because familiar caregivers notice changes. Thirty-seven deficiencies, including one at harm level and two abuse-related, round out a record worth asking about directly.
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.
Rossville Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a 172-bed for-profit partnership in Baltimore with a staffing problem you can see in the numbers. Its 3.13 nurse hours per resident day sit about 19% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays, so the thinnest coverage lands when families tend to visit. The inspection record is heavier: 73 deficiencies, four at harm or jeopardy level, four abuse-related, and seven fines totaling $198,937. Turnover at 42.7% is actually slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, so the issue isn't retention so much as how few hours each resident gets and how often the state has cited the place.
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.
King David runs 3.60 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend staffing drops about 11% below its own weekday level. That thin coverage shows up in the staffing star rating, which sits at 1 out of 5. Annual turnover is 50.5% against a national 45.8%, so aides and nurses cycle through faster than usual.
The inspection record carries 73 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 11 tied to abuse. The last inspection was April 2025, and the health inspection rating is 2 out of 5. Quality measures score 5 out of 5, yet that number reflects resident outcomes rather than the hands available to deliver care. The limited liability company that owns this for-profit home posts strong quality scores alongside weak staffing.
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.
Courtland, LLC runs 151 beds in Baltimore under for-profit corporate ownership, and its inspection record is the part that stands out: 74 deficiencies on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and five tied to abuse. That's a lot of findings stacked against a one-star health inspection rating. Staffing looks better on paper, about 3.66 nurse hours per resident day, just under the national average, with a four-star staffing rating, but weekends run roughly 11% thinner than weekdays, and turnover sits at 47.1%, slightly above the national figure. The last inspection was in July 2025, so the record is recent. One fine totaling $20,251 is also on file.
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.
