Located in Ellicott City, Maryland, Lorien Encore at Turf Valley is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center set in a suburban, car-dependent location near Maryland Route 29. The community has been operating for 16 years and is owned by Jim Hummer. With 110 beds, it accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, giving families several ways to cover short-term rehabilitation stays and longer-term skilled nursing care.
The community’s clinical focus is on rehabilitation and skilled nursing. Total nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 44 minutes per resident each day; this level of staffing is robust enough to support hands-on care for post-acute patients. The home’s level of support makes it suitable for patients recovering from surgery or hospitalization, or for those managing a chronic condition requiring skilled oversight. Residents stay an average of 66 days, including a population that skews toward shorter-term rehabilitation and transitional care rather than long-term residence.
Parkinson’s Wellness is a specialized on-site program, so the community is a great option for residents with that diagnosis. The home’s respite care and hospice services can ease both short-term coverage gaps and end-of-life transitions. Rehabilitation services are also available on-site so residents won’t need to go outside for therapy appointments during recovery.
Rooms available range from private to semi-private options. Each has a private bathroom, and assisted living private suites have a kitchenette and bath, offering flexibility for residents at different care levels. Residents’ dining offers a restaurant-style model with attention to specialized diets.
Day-to-day life is supported by amenities such as a salon and spa, a movie theater, an on-site putting green, and a courtyard. Residents can access a wellness program and a seven-day weekly activities calendar to stay engaged. The home offers scheduled daily transportation, which can be helpful for medical appointments and family outings. Free Wi-Fi and cable television are also available.
Lorien Encore’s car-dependent location means family visits will require a car. However, its proximity to Route 29 provides convenient regional access, which may benefit families traveling from surrounding areas.
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.
| 56m 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 11m per day | ▲ 30% 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 3m per day | ▼ 4% 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.
| 3h 38m per day | ▲ 3% 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.
| 6m per day | ■ Avg 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.
| 38m per day | ▲ 5% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term 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.
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.
