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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
