Broadmead

13801 York Road, Cockeysville, MD 21030
Overview of Broadmead

Operating for 47 years, Broadmead is a 40-bed nursing home on York Road in Cockeysville, Maryland. The community owned by Ann Patterson currently serves 25 residents at around 61 percent occupancy. The average stay duration is 38 days, indicating a mix of short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term nursing care.

Staffing mirrors a dedication to daily hands-on care. Total nursing support averages 6 hours 49 minutes per resident day, comprising registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses who provide support across clinical and personal care needs. The home is found in a car-dependent residential area of Cockeysville, with limited nearby walkable options. Most errands and visits demand a brief drive. Broadmead accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay to give families multiple ways to afford short-term recovery and continuous care needs. The community’s specific focus areas span a Campus program, Supported Living services, and Centers of Excellence initiatives.

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.
