Overview of Autumn Lake Healthcare at Silver Spring

Autumn Lake Healthcare at Silver Spring, located at 2501 Musgrove Rd in Silver Spring, Maryland, functions as an independently owned entity operating under the Autumn Lake Healthcare licensure. The organizational structure encompasses a multifaceted care spectrum including nursing home services, skilled nursing, memory care, and hospice care. The facility manages both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residency requirements within a single systemic framework.

The recorded occupancy rate of 93.4 percent serves as a primary data point for families to analyze. This high utilization rate suggests that availability is structurally limited, meaning that the timing of a placement request is a critical variable in the acquisition of a bed. The average length of stay is calculated at 118 days. This duration reflects a logical distribution between post-acute recovery patients and those requiring permanent long-term care.

The memory care subsystem utilizes a closed dementia unit. This architectural choice ensures a distinct physical separation from the general resident population, which provides a more controlled environment than a loosely integrated program would offer.

From a clinical perspective, the facility maintains a robust internal infrastructure for physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies. The scope of medical management is quite comprehensive, including intravenous therapy, tracheostomy care, wound management, and orthopedic recovery. Additionally, the system accounts for complex needs such as stroke recovery, diabetes management, total parenteral nutrition, and bariatric care alongside palliative and hospice support.

The staffing model provides a total of 3 hours and 31 minutes of nursing care per resident per day. When broken down by role, Registered Nurses contribute 32 minutes, Licensed Practical Nurses contribute 54 minutes, and nurse aides provide 1 hour and 55 minutes of direct interaction. Financial input is accepted through Medicare, Medicaid, and private payment channels. The facility possesses a Walk Score of 16, which indicates that the surrounding environment lacks the density for pedestrian activity and necessitates motorized transportation for any off-campus requirements.

For families evaluating options in the Silver Spring region, this facility presents a dense concentration of clinical services ranging from rehabilitation to hospice. The high occupancy metrics serve as a reliable indicator of sustained demand within the local healthcare market, suggesting that the facility is a significant node in the regional care network.

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.
