Alice Byrd Tawes runs a nonprofit home with 76 beds in Crisfield, and the inspection history is the strongest part of the picture: a four-star health inspection rating and a recent survey on record. But 31 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, is a lot of findings to carry. Nurse staffing sits at 3.46 hours per resident day, roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends run about 11 percent thinner than weekdays, so coverage has a dip built into it. Turnover is 41.3 percent, a bit better than the national 45.8 percent, which suggests some stability in the workforce.

Wilson Health Care Center sits in Gaithersburg with 285 certified beds and a nonprofit owner, and the staffing numbers are the real story here: 4.12 nurse hours per resident day, about 7 percent above the national average. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11 percent below its own weekday level, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. Turnover is 13.5 percent against a national average near 46 percent, which matters for whether you see the same faces month to month. The current record shows 32 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but 4 are abuse-related, worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last in on April 10, 2025.

Asbury Solomons runs on thin nurse staffing, 3.83 hours per resident day, just under the national figure of 3.86, and weekends are leaner still, about 13% below its own weekday coverage. What stands out more is retention: turnover of 35.3% sits well under the 45.8% national average, which matters because familiar aides tend to notice changes in a resident sooner. Inspections in June 2025 produced 23 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though three were abuse-related, worth asking about directly. The five-star marks on health inspections and quality measures reflect real performance, but the abuse citations and weekend dips are the details a tour won't show you.

Keswick Multi-Care Center runs on a nonprofit model with 242 certified beds, and its staffing is the clearest strength: 4.45 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, with turnover at 37.5% compared to 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage does dip about 9% below its own weekday level, so families should ask how that plays out on Saturdays and Sundays. The inspection record is more mixed, 58 total deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but five tied to abuse, and the last inspection was March 2026. A 3/5 health inspection rating alongside 4/5 quality measures suggests decent care delivery with some compliance gaps worth asking about directly.

Goodwill Mennonite Home sits in Grantsville with 107 certified beds and a church-affiliated nonprofit owner, which tends to mean steadier hands on deck. The staffing numbers back that up: 4.13 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, and turnover of 24.5% is roughly half the national rate of 45.8%, that kind of retention matters more than any single inspection score. Weekend coverage does dip about 12% below weekdays, so ask how that plays out on a Saturday. On paper the record shows 37 deficiencies, including two at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $13,250. The last inspection was April 2025, so the picture is current.

Waldorf Center runs 115 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits at 3.60 hours per resident day, roughly 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 12% below its own weekday coverage, so if you're visiting or calling on a Saturday or Sunday, expect a thinner floor. The good news is retention: 29.9% turnover against a national 45.8% means caregivers here tend to stay, which matters more than a single staffing snapshot. Inspections turned up 42 deficiencies, two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last survey was January 2026. Quality measures score well; the tradeoff is consistent coverage rather than standout numbers.

Willowbrooke runs on a nonprofit model with unusually steady hands: 24.5% turnover is roughly half the national rate, which matters when you're trusting strangers with daily care. The staffing picture is more mixed than the star rating suggests, 3.59 nurse hours per resident day sits about 7% under the national average, and weekends run 9% thinner than weekdays. The bigger concern is the inspection record: 38 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, with the most recent state visit in January 2025. Strong quality scores don't erase that history, so ask pointed questions about staffing on Saturdays and how complaints get handled.

Montcare At Potomac runs on 3.69 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly 8% below its own weekday levels, worth asking about if your family visits mostly on Saturdays. What stands out more is the staff: 16.7% annual turnover against a national 45.8%, which suggests people stay. The inspection record shows 21 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures score at the top of CMS's scale, and the health inspection rating is strong. The main tradeoff is thin daily staffing hours against a stable workforce.

Future Care Chesapeake runs 152 certified beds in Arnold under corporate for-profit ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely strong: 4.08 nurse hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average. Weekend coverage dips roughly 11% below weekdays, which is worth asking about if your family visits on Saturdays or Sundays. Annual turnover sits at 32.4%, well under the national 45.8%, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. The health inspection and quality measure ratings both come back at the top of CMS's five-star scale, with 21 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. The most recent inspection was February 2026.

Brooke Grove runs about 4.45 nursing hours per resident day, roughly 15% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 29.9% is well under the 45.8% national figure, both genuinely good signs for consistency of care. The tradeoff shows up on the health inspection side, where CMS gives it 2 out of 5 stars and the current record carries 41 deficiencies, including 5 tied to abuse. None of those rose to the harm or jeopardy level, and its most recent inspection was April 1, 2025, so the record is current, not stale. Weekend staffing dips about 13% below its own weekday level, which is worth asking about if your family member needs help on Saturdays and Sundays.

Glen Meadows runs a tight ship on the people side. Staff turnover sits at 17.9 percent, well under the national average of 45.8, that kind of retention usually means stable caregivers who know the residents. But the inspection record tells a different story: 36 deficiencies on file, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, plus a $31,233 fine from a March 2025 visit. Staffing hours per resident day land just under the national average, and weekends dip about 13 percent below the home's own weekday coverage. The low turnover is real, and it matters, but the inspection findings are the ones worth asking about directly.

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.

Nurse staffing at Maryland Masonic Homes sits at 4.06 hours per resident day, roughly 5% above the national average, and staff turnover is 32.3%, noticeably lower than the 45.8% norm elsewhere. Those are real strengths, and the recent inspection in June 2025 means the record is current. But the deficiency history is heavy: 65 total, including one at the harm level and seven tied to abuse. One fine of $16,420 has been levied. Nonprofit ownership and strong weekend coverage soften the picture, yet the gap between the care numbers and the inspection record is what a family should weigh most carefully.

The Lutheran Village at Miller's Grant runs a small house, 16 certified beds, and staffs it far more heavily than most: 5.75 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 9% below its own weekday level, but a 5/5 staffing star and a 5/5 health inspection star, with the most recent inspection in June 2025, suggest consistent survey performance. The catch is turnover: 46.2%, essentially matching the national average, which means even a well-staffed building is replacing roughly half its nursing team each year. Fourteen deficiencies sit on the record, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and quality measures rate a middle 3/5.

Future Care Capital Region runs on unusually steady staffing for a for-profit home: 4.78 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a quarter above the national average, and turnover of 14.9% against a national figure near 46%, that kind of retention usually means the same aides are showing up, which matters more than almost anything for daily care. Weekends dip about 12% below weekdays, worth asking about directly. The inspection record is the real caveat: 45 deficiencies on file, including one tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent survey was in January 2026. Quality measures score well. Read the inspection reports themselves before deciding.

Deer's Head Center is a state-run home in Salisbury with 80 certified beds, and its staffing is the headline: 9.55 nurse hours per resident day, roughly two and a half times the national average. Turnover sits at 30.6% against a national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stick around, though weekend coverage drops about 21% below weekday levels, which is worth asking about. The trouble is the inspection record: 19 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus a $41,265 fine. Staffing is strong; oversight has been the problem, and the most recent inspection was in December 2025.

Future Care Old Court runs 3.63 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 6% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 10% below its own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 35.3%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents and catch changes early. The health inspection record is strong, a 5/5 CMS rating with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. But the current file holds 22 deficiencies total, three tied to abuse, and it's a for-profit corporate home. The last inspection was March 17, 2026. Ask about those three abuse-related citations and how weekend coverage is actually staffed before deciding.

Future Care Cherrywood sits in Reisterstown with 151 certified beds and a for-profit LLC structure, and its staffing works out to 3.85 nurse hours per resident day, essentially dead even with the national average. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 11% below its own weekday pace. Staff turnover runs 53.3% against a national 45.8%, so people are leaving faster than usual. Inspections tell a mixed story: a recent October 2025 visit and strong marks on health inspection and quality measures, but 66 deficiencies on record, including eight tied to abuse and one at the harm level. That combination, good survey scores alongside a long deficiency history and steady churn, is what pulls the grade down from perfect.

Lorien Health Systems Mt Airy runs on unusually heavy staffing, 5.01 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 30% above the national figure, and its workers tend to stay, with turnover at 34.8% against a national 45.8%. Weekend coverage does dip about 12% below weekday levels. The inspection record is decent but not spotless: 42 deficiencies on file, none at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, with the most recent inspection in August 2025. Quality measures are the weak spot here, though the corporation that owns it keeps the place well staffed. For a 62-bed home, the hands-on care is the real story.

Little Sisters Of The Poor runs just 20 certified beds in Baltimore, and the nurse staffing number stands out: 7.25 hours per resident day, roughly double the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 11% below its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 33.3%, which is better than the 45.8% national figure. What tempers the picture is the quality measure rating of 1 out of 5, alongside 25 deficiencies on the current record, none at the harm or jeopardy level, but one flagged as abuse-related. The last inspection was June 25, 2025. Ownership is for-profit, individual. Strong hands-on staffing and a clean harm record, with a quality-measure score and a deficiency count that deserve a closer look before you decide.
