Overview of Sterling Care at Frostburg Village

Sterling Care at Frostburg Village is a small, 35-bed nursing home in Frostburg, Maryland. Run by Crestview Sterlings Holdings LLC, the facility has been around for 27 years and takes Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. The neighborhood is highly walkable, scoring an 83 out of 100, so visitors can easily tackle a few quick errands on foot.

The building stays busy with about 91 percent of its beds filled. Stays average around 190 days, meaning the daily routine is built for a mix of short-term rehab patients and people there for permanent, long-term care. To keep up with daily medical needs, the nursing team puts in about 3 hours and 10 minutes of total care per resident each day, with nurse aides handling 3 hours and 2 minutes of that hands-on time. The clinical program covers physical therapy, post-hospital recovery, and temporary respite care.

Older adults comparing regional options will find a smaller, closer-knit campus that currently has limited open beds. The front desk can help double-check your insurance plan, answer questions about room availability, or set up a time for you to walk through the building and meet the staff.

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 148 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.
