Overview of Autumn Lake Healthcare at Homewood Center

Located at 6000 Bellona Ave in the Homeland neighborhood, Autumn Lake Healthcare at Homewood Center operates as a 112-bed skilled nursing facility under the Autumn Lake Healthcare brand, owned and operated independently by 56 West Frederick Holdco LLC. The single-story facility offers private and semi-private rooms alongside dining, beauty services, recreational programming, and on-site medical care.

Admission patterns reflect a mixed population: current residents are predominantly Medicaid-funded (87.2%), with typical stays of nine to ten months for that population, plus Medicare and private-pay admissions for shorter rehabilitation periods.

The facility provides stroke recovery, cardio-pulmonary care, orthopedic services, and joint replacement support.

While total staff-to-resident ratio reaches 2.76:1, far exceeding Maryland’s 1.81:1 average, the facility depends heavily on contract labor, particularly among licensed practical nurses: 100 of 116 LPNs are contractors. Total nursing care runs 3 hours 22 minutes per resident daily, 11% below the state benchmark. Registered nurse presence is limited at 26 minutes per day, trailing state average by nearly half, though licensed practical nurses contribute 58 minutes daily, slightly above state norms.

Clinical decline scores of 9.5 (27% better than state) and fall injury rates of 1.1% (51% better) indicate strong preventive care.

Pressure ulcer prevalence at 3.9% outperforms the state standard significantly. Vaccination coverage for long-stay residents is 92.7% pneumococcal and 96.9% influenza, and meets state expectations.

Short-stay rehabilitation residents, by contrast, experience elevated risks. Falls with major injury strike 1.6% of short-stay admissions, more than double the state average of 0.8%. Pneumococcal and influenza vaccination completion for short-stay admissions lag considerably at 57.1% and 65.0% respectively, both substantially below state performance. Re-hospitalization for short-stay patients reaches 23.7%, 12% worse than the state average.

The 2023 operating margin turned positive at 7.0%, and occupancy jumped to 84.3% from 73.2% the prior year.

No federal fines were assessed in the past three years.

The location scores 81 on walkability, with hospital access 1.58 miles distant.

The facility is oriented toward long-term Medicaid-dependent residents with significant medical needs; short-stay rehabilitation admissions face higher fall injury rates than regional peers.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Baltimore, MD

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Maryland?

Assisted living in Maryland is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Maryland Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Maryland Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 34 nursing homes in Baltimore, MD. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Baltimore, MD?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Baltimore, MD, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Baltimore, MD?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
