Overview of Hebrew Home of Greater Washington

Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn

Hebrew Home of Greater Washington provides nursing home and skilled nursing care in Rockville, MD. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock, and a doctor is on staff for physician care within the community.

The community offers rehabilitation, short-term rehabilitation, and respite care. Short-term rehabilitation supports a temporary recovery stay, while respite care provides a brief stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs time away or recovery.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover care. Residents may keep pets, use the beauty salon, dental clinics, podiatry care, and banking services, and receive kosher meals that accommodate special diets.

Religious services and rehabilitation services are available on site. The combination of ongoing nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and respite care may suit someone who needs nursing support, a temporary recovery stay, or a brief placement while a caregiver is away.

Staff type
Hours / day / resident
vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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.
40m
−21% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 42m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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 10m
+30% State avg: 54m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 8m
Avg State avg: 2h 7m per day · National avg: 2h 24m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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.
3h 32m
+3% State avg: 3h 27m per day · National avg: 3h 30m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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
−55% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info 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.
