Overview of Lorien Mount Airy

Lorien Mount Airy is a 100-bed assisted living and skilled nursing facility located at 713 Midway Avenue in Mount Airy, Maryland. Serving older adults in Carroll County, the facility is owned and operated by Maryland Health Enterprises and provides a range of clinical services from assisted living to sub-acute rehabilitation.

The facility maintains a clinical service mix that includes short-term rehab, respite care, hospice services, and specialized medically complex care. Specific specialty programs are available for ventilator care, tracheotomy management, and comprehensive rehabilitation therapy. Twenty-four-hour staffing and nursing coverage are in place, supported by on-site wellness and therapy programs.

The Maryland Department of Health, Office of Health Care Quality, oversees the inspection of this facility. No specific inspection history is reported 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.

Details regarding specific on-site amenities, dining programs, and monthly pricing are not reported in the available source data, so families should request these details during a tour. Occupancy levels and specific staffing ratios are also not publicly listed in the current records.

This environment suits families seeking assisted living or skilled nursing with a focus on medically complex post-acute care. Families evaluating Lorien Mount Airy should confirm Medicaid acceptance, current occupancy, and the full inspection history directly with the Maryland Department of Health before making a placement decision.

Quality ratings

Measured by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)

Overall rating Info 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.
Health Inspection Info 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.
Staffing Info 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.
Quality Measures Info 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.

Staffing hours breakdown

Info 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.

Rank #28 / 143Nurse hours — State benchmarkedThis home is ranked 28th out of 143 homes in Maryland for Nurse Hours. Shows adjusted nurse hours per resident per day benchmarked to the Maryland average, with a ranking across 143 Maryland facilities. More hours mean more direct care. The national average is about 3.5 hrs; below 3.0 is a red flag.Facilities with the same value for a metric share the same rank.

vs avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs 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. 1h 10m 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 6m 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 58m 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. 4h 42m 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. 7m 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. 50m per day
