Nursing homes across Cecil County, Maryland, graded on the federal inspection
record, nurse staffing and staff turnover. County rank is shown on each home's profile.
Laurelwood Healthcare Center runs 110 certified beds in Elkton under corporate for-profit ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12 percent under the national average of 3.86, with weekends about 7 percent thinner than weekdays. Turnover is 42 percent, a touch better than the 45.8 percent national figure. The heavier concerns show up in the inspection record: a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating, 74 deficiencies including one at the harm or jeopardy level and six tied to abuse, plus a $95,610 fine. A recent inspection date of January 30, 2026 means the record is current, not stale.
Autumn Lake Healthcare at Calvert Manor runs 144 certified beds in Rising Sun under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.28 hours per resident day, roughly 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 8% below the home's own weekday coverage, and annual turnover is 49.3% against a 45.8% national rate, so the same shortfall tends to recur rather than resolve. The current record carries 33 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level but two tied to abuse; the last inspection was April 2, 2025. Federal ratings sit at three stars for health inspections and quality measures, two for staffing. If you're weighing this one, ask how the 3-to-11 shift and weekends are actually covered.
Elkton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center carries a one-star health inspection rating, and the record behind it is heavy: 142 deficiencies, three of them at the level where residents were actually harmed, plus seven tied to abuse. CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the small share of homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems. Staffing sits about 8% under the national average, weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, and turnover lands at 46.2%, essentially the national rate. Ownership is for-profit, through a limited liability company. Three fines totaling $31,134 are on file, and the most recent inspection was October 9, 2025.
