Maryland

  • Maryland’s overall nursing home ranking did not improve nor did it worsen over the last year, making it one of only four states with no change.
  • Maryland’s nursing homes, once again, spun the wheels of mediocrity, scoring an above average grade in only one reviewed measure while losing ratings ground in nearly half of all measures.  
  • Despite a nominal decrease in professional nursing hours per resident, Maryland actually posted a better grade in the category when compared to other states, indicating a downward trend in the measure nationally.  
  • Regulatory problems continued to plague Maryland’s nursing homes; 96 percent were cited one or more deficiencies.
  • The percentage of Maryland nursing homes with above average direct care staffing levels slumped nearly 50 percent since the last report card; dropping the state a full letter grade in this category.
  • Maryland is 1 of 3 below average nursing home states in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
