ASSISTED LIVING AT BROOKEGROVE
NURTURING FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, OF CHOICE, OF SELF-DISCOVERY
Nothing says “home” like a beloved pet greeting you … the aroma of baking brownies … the sound of a child laughing … and the many other comforting touches you’ll find in The Meadows and The Woods assisted living residences at Brooke Grove Retirement Village . Here, on a pastoral retreat in a convenient Montgomery County, Maryland, location, skilled assistance blends seamlessly with the welcome feeling of home.
… BECAUSE WHAT SURROUNDS YOU REALLY MATTERS.
AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ASSISTED LIVING
Specifically designed for assisted living or memory support, each residential-style dwelling is home to only 16 residents. Over-sized windows and skylights allow natural light to warm and brighten each room. Community members gather in family rooms with fireplaces and pianos, game and craft rooms, intimate dining rooms and sunny decks.
Everything at Brooke Grove is intentionally designed to enhance lives. We do this through LIFE ® principles and programming we’ve developed to create the cheerful atmosphere, opportunities for individual discovery, partnership with families and enriching experiences that set us apart.
At Brooke Grove, safety and security are paramount but not confining. With easy access to large courtyards, residents move freely inside and out, visiting our neighborhood homes, strolling winding paths, and enjoying our peaceful wooded setting. An ornamental Koi pond, flower and sensory gardens, and a playground for visiting children charm and entertain.
Those who live here continue to grow and learn, to participate in lifelong hobbies and explore new ones, to love and care for one another, and to feel a sense of purpose with each new day.

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.
Data period: Q4 2025 (October 1 – December 31, 2025).
This nursing home is ranked 31st out of 120 nursing homes we track in Maryland for nurse hours. 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.
4h 0mStandout metric: Physical therapist is +42% above Maryland average
1 of 6 metrics below Maryland average
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. 39 total: 17 of the facility's own employees and 22 agency contractors.
39 staff · 12.2-hour shifts
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. 53 total: 26 of the facility's own employees and 27 agency contractors.
53 staff · 11.9-hour shifts
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. 88 total: 75 of the facility's own employees and 13 agency contractors.
88 staff · 11.5-hour shifts
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.
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.
RN + LPN + aide · Sat–Sun
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.

Why it matters: employees work here week after week and get to know each resident's routines and needs. Agency contractors often rotate between facilities, so a higher employee share usually means more consistent care.

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.
Rank #17 / 104Payroll costs — State benchmarked This nursing home is ranked 17th out of 104 nursing homes we track in Maryland. Shows total staff payroll — salaries plus wage-related benefits — benchmarked to the Maryland average, among facilities reporting a recent fiscal year. Higher payroll relative to peers often signals better staffing and less reliance on contract labor. Communities with the same value for a metric share the same rank. Rankings compare like with like: every nursing home we track in Maryland that reports data for that category. Nursing homes without available data are excluded, so the pool size varies from metric to metric.
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.
Rank #42 / 104Payroll % of net patient revenue — State benchmarked This nursing home is ranked 42nd out of 104 nursing homes we track in Maryland. Shows payroll as a percentage of net patient revenue versus the Maryland average, among facilities reporting a recent fiscal year.
