CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
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.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 17m per day | ▼ 66% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 1h 7m per day | ▲ 24% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 1h 53m per day | ▼ 13% State avg: 2h 10m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 57m per day | ▼ 15% State avg: 3h 29m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 3m per day | ▼ 39% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 14m per day | ▼ 63% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
Payroll as a share of revenue: staff salaries and wage-related benefits divided by net patient revenue. A higher figure means more of each revenue dollar goes to staff pay.
Everything it costs to run the home apart from payroll — food, utilities, supplies, maintenance, contract labor and administration. Calculated as total operating expense minus payroll (staff salaries and wage-related benefits).
