Elkton Nursing & Rehabilitation functions primarily as a nexus for rehabilitation services and skilled nursing support. The facility occupies a location with a Walk Score of 43, a figure that dictates a reliance on personal vehicular transport for the vast majority of daily errands and logistical necessities. Its operational framework prioritizes rehabilitation therapy as a central pillar, complemented by provisions for short-term rehabilitation, respite care, and the continuous oversight of twenty-four-hour staffing. The integration of active volunteer programs adds a layer of community engagement to the facility structure.
Nurse aides facilitate two hours and thirteen minutes of direct patient attention per resident daily. Licensed practical and vocational nurses contribute forty-six minutes, while registered nurses provide twenty-two minutes of direct care in the same timeframe. Beyond these clinical metrics, the physical and programmatic environment includes access to a courtyard space for outdoor relief, alongside standardized amenities such as transportation assistance, housekeeping, and laundry services. The facility’s calendar incorporates seasonal activities and a wellness curriculum designed to address the intersections of social connectivity and mental health maintenance.
Elkton Nursing & Rehabilitation functions as a comprehensive skilled nursing institution. Its operational model balances a formal therapy program and constant staffing with a dual focus on short-term post-acute recovery trajectories and the specialized requirements of individuals who necessitate long-term nursing oversight.
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.
| 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.
| 22m per day | ▼ 52% State avg: 46m 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.
| 46m per day | ▼ 6% State avg: 49m 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 13m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 2h 25m 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 55m per day | ▼ 16% 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.
| 5m per day | ▲ 25% State avg: 4m 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.
| 24m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
