Overview of Epiphany House

Epiphany House, at 1010 E 33rd Street in the Ednor Gardens-Lakeside neighborhood of Baltimore, is a 53-bed skilled nursing facility owned by Laurie Netzer. Medicare accounts for 88% of new admissions, with Medicaid comprising 5% and private pay 8%; residents typically stay 89 days.

The facility is 2.7 miles from downtown and operates in a very walkable neighborhood (Walk Score: 72). It is 2.14 miles from MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital.

Epiphany House earns a 4-star CMS overall rating, built on exceptional health inspection performance (4-star, 6.5% above Maryland average) and quality measures (4-star, 35.3% above state average).

Staffing is rated 3-star and runs at the state average. The facility provides 3h 51m of nursing care per resident daily, with weekend staffing at 3h 34m per day (3% above state average). Its 75-person workforce includes 3 RNs, 15 LPNs, and 28 CNAs, with no contract labor; staff-to-resident ratio is 1.79:1, matching the state benchmark.

Quality metrics show particular strength in injury prevention and pharmaceutical restraint.

Falls with major injury affect 1.0% of long-stay residents, 57% better than state average. Pressure ulcers in high-risk residents run 4.1%, 38% better than state average. Antipsychotic use stands at 3.9%, substantially below the Maryland average of 12.9%. One concerning finding emerges: 65.4% of long-stay residents report depressive symptoms, more than triple the state average of 20.2%, suggesting possible gaps in behavioral health intervention or resident acuity selection.

The facility reported a single federal fine of $67,000 and no payment denials; no penalties have occurred in the past three years.

Occupancy is high at 91.6%, ranking it 30th of 146 Maryland facilities.

Payroll consumes 31.8% of revenue, the lowest proportion among Maryland SNFs and well below the typical 49-57% for well-managed facilities, indicating significant operational constraints.

Epiphany House is oriented toward short-term post-acute Medicare rehabilitation, though the depression prevalence warrants candid inquiry into mental health staffing and support structures.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Maryland

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 146 nursing homes in Maryland. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Maryland?

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 Maryland, 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 Maryland?

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.
