Anchorage Rehabilitation and Wellness Center

Its website lists physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 24-hour skilled nursing with IV therapy and wound care, and recovery programs for cardiac, stroke, and orthopedic patients. It also lists higher-acuity services many homes do not offer, including on-site dialysis, tracheostomy care, and bariatric care. Always confirm services, availability, and coverage directly with the facility before making a decision.

Yes. The website lists structured Alzheimer's and dementia care, including a secured memory care unit — a locked area designed to keep residents who wander safe. On a tour, ask to see the unit and ask how it is staffed on nights and weekends.

It is a mid-sized home, certified for 126 beds, with about 103 residents on a typical day — roughly 82 percent full. That usually means some beds are open, but availability changes, so ask admissions what is open when you call.

Federal records list it with CommuniCare Health, a for-profit group of about 121 nursing homes across six states, under the legal name Anchorage SNF LLC. The building's own website presents it as a standalone center and does not mention the chain. Its Maryland sister homes are on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay, in places like Baltimore, Towson, and Glen Burnie.

Federal regulators give it 2 out of 5 stars overall. Health inspections are rated 2 stars, with 20 deficiencies and one fine of about $10,033 on record. Quality measures are rated 3 stars overall — 4 stars for long-stay residents — and staffing is rated 3 stars. Star ratings come from official government health inspections and reporting — they are a regulatory measure, not family reviews.

Records show about 3.2 hours of nursing time per resident per day, including about 38 minutes from registered nurses. Turnover among registered nurses is about 69 percent, and three administrators left within a recent year. Ask who the current administrator and director of nursing are, how long they have been there, and how nights and weekends are covered.

Call (410) 749-2474 — the contact page lists this number for both general questions and admissions, and the services page says admissions are handled seven days a week. No visiting hours are published on the site, so ask how visits work when you call or use the schedule-a-tour form on the website.
