Marley Neck Rehabilitation and Wellness Center

It is a federally certified skilled nursing facility, which means licensed nurses are in the building around the clock. It serves people recovering after a hospital stay (short-term rehabilitation) and people who need daily nursing help for the long term. We could not verify a building-specific list of specialty programs from a facility website, so ask the admissions team what programs — like therapy, wound care, or dementia support — are offered today.

It has 95 certified beds and about 86 residents on a typical day, so it usually runs close to full — around nine in ten beds are occupied. That makes it a mid-sized home, and it is worth asking early whether there is a wait list for the type of care your family member needs.

Federal ownership records list it with the CommuniCare network, a for-profit group that operates 121 facilities across six states. The home recently changed its listed name from Marley Neck Health and Rehabilitation Center, and the chain's national website no longer lists its Maryland buildings, so ask the staff who runs the home today and whether anything else is changing.

It holds 4 of 5 stars overall. Quality of care measures score 5 stars — the top mark — for both short-stay and long-stay residents, while health inspections and staffing each score 3 stars. The latest inspection cycle listed 20 deficiencies, and there are no federal fines on record. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews.

Ask what the 20 inspection findings were and how they were fixed. Because staffing rates 3 stars, ask how many nurses and aides are on duty at night and on weekends. Also ask which specialty programs are active right now, who currently operates the building and under what name, and whether there is a wait list — the home runs close to full.

The phone number in official records is (410) 768-8200. Call and ask for admissions; they can walk you through availability, coverage questions, and setting up a tour. We could not verify a separate admissions line or current visiting hours from a facility website, so confirm visiting times when you call.
