What health inspectors found (on-site government inspections — the most independent evidence available)
Health inspection rating: ★★★★☆4/5 · CMS overall rating: 4/5
The health inspection star above is graded on a curve within each state — a set share of each state's facilities gets each star level — so a facility can have few citations and still rate 2–3 stars if others in its state did even better. The overall rating combines that inspection score with staffing and self-reported quality measures.
Most serious findings (actual harm or immediate jeopardy)
▲ Immediate jeopardy, one-off · Nov 17, 2022 · F-0678
The facility did not provide basic life support, such as CPR, before emergency medical help arrived — care that's required when it matches the doctor's orders and the resident's own written wishes.
Why it matters: In a cardiac or breathing emergency, failure to start CPR promptly can be the difference between life and death.
Severity (J): Inspectors found a situation that put a resident's life or safety in immediate danger, affecting one or a few residents. The facility must fix it immediately — these citations often come with large fines.

| Date | Severity | What the facility was cited for |

Nurse staffing (from payroll records, adjusted for how much care residents need)
| Measure | This facility | Maryland avg | U.S. avg | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total nurse staffing (hours per resident per day) | 2.98 | 3.83 | 3.95 | bottom 5% in Maryland; bottom 13% in the U.S. |
| Registered Nurse hours | 0.46 | 0.83 | 0.69 | bottom 11% in Maryland; bottom 31% in the U.S. |
| Weekend total nurse staffing | 2.72 | 3.43 | 3.50 | bottom 9% in Maryland; bottom 17% in the U.S. |
| Weekend RN hours (not acuity-adjusted) | 0.38 | 0.63 | 0.48 | bottom 25% in Maryland; bottom 49% in the U.S. |
| Total nursing staff turnover (%) | 51.5 | 40.2 | 45.8 | bottom 20% in Maryland; bottom 33% in the U.S. |
| RN turnover (%) | 37.5 | 38.7 | 42.9 | top 47% in Maryland; top 42% in the U.S. |
Hours are per resident per day, case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.25, RN 0.50, weekend 2.97. Staffing rating: 2/5.
