Peace Gardens Assisted Living is a 47-bed community in Catonsville, Maryland, providing assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing support within a two-story setting. The community accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, offering several payment options for families. Occupancy remains high at 86%, and residents stay for an average of approximately six months.
Older adults receive assistance with daily activities, mobility, housekeeping, transportation, and meal services. Rehabilitation therapies, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are available for those recovering from illness, injury, or hospitalization. Nursing services average 3 hours and 21 minutes per resident each day, with registered nurses contributing a portion of that care.
Memory support is available through a dedicated Alzheimer’s care unit designed to serve individuals with varying levels of cognitive impairment. Specialized memory care therapy programs provide additional support, while partnerships with local hospice organizations allow residents to access end-of-life services when needed.
The community is located in a moderately walkable area where some nearby destinations can be reached on foot, though many errands still require transportation. Pets are welcome, allowing older adults to remain with their companion animals after moving into the community.
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.
This home is ranked 82nd out of 125 homes in Maryland for nurse hours. 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.
| 47m per day | ▼ 5% 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 46% 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 11m per day | ■ Avg 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 6m per day | ▼ 12% 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 36% 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.
| 41m per day | ▲ 12% 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.
