Charlestown Community is a 238-bed retirement community located at 709 & 721 Maiden Choice Lane in Baltimore, Maryland. Serving older adults in Baltimore County, the facility is operated by Erickson Senior Living as a nonprofit community.
The Maryland Department of Health, Office of Health Care Quality, oversees the inspection of this facility. No specific inspection history is available in the current source data, and the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Records indicate that no civil money penalties or payment denials have been imposed by CMS within the past three years.
The facility features nine confirmed amenities, including a fitness center, an aquatic center, a medical center, and an on-site dental office. Additional conveniences include an on-site pharmacy, shuttle and transportation services, and daily maintenance and housekeeping. Resident programming covers a range of activities, educational events, and clubs. Care services on campus include memory support, home care, and outpatient rehabilitation.
Seniors seeking a nonprofit retirement community with a broad range of on-site clinical and personal services may find this environment appropriate. Families evaluating Charlestown Community should confirm Medicaid acceptance, current occupancy, available care levels, and the full inspection history directly with the Maryland Department of Health before making a placement decision.
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.
This home is ranked 12th out of 144 homes 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.
| 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.
| 42m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 49m 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 13m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 55m 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.
| 2h 34m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 2h 8m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 4h 13m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 36% State avg: 6m 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.
| 34m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
