Hammonds Lane Center

Hammonds Lane Center sits at 613 Hammonds Lane, Brooklyn Park, MD 21225, offering skilled nursing and senior living services in a suburban setting where people can get both short-term and long-term care, respite stays, hospice, and palliative care, and folks can find memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, and there's a special focus on accountable care as well as rehabilitation with things like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, even orthopedic rehab. The center runs 24 hours a day and doesn't have age limits on who can get in, but right now, they're not accepting new patients, which is something people need to know. Genesis Healthcare, with Genesis Md Holdings LLC as the direct owner and Genesis Healthcare Inc and Sun Healthcare Group Inc as indirect owners, operates this place and the managers since March 2024 are Karen Cousins and Nicholas Johnson, keeping things running. The facility has 129 certified beds and provides private and semi-private rooms, with private bathrooms and plenty of air-conditioning, along with gardens and courtyards, ADA accessibility, and fully equipped common rooms where people can gather and socialize. Folks get restaurant-style dining in a dining room, plus in-room and private family dining options, and there's a café with an always available menu. People can expect amenities like phone and cable TV, computer stations with internet, wireless internet, on-site laundry, mail and newspaper service, and a little shop for gifts or snacks, and they do let you bring pets. They've also got beauty salon and barber services, spa care, and a special alarm system to help keep residents who need extra watching safe. They give pharmacy delivery, case management, dietary help, pain management, wound care, and IV therapy like TPN, as well as overseeing medication, heparin, bariatric needs, colostomy care, dental and vision care, psychiatric services, podiatry, and VitalStim treatment for swallowing problems, plus discharge plans when someone finishes their stay. Nurses and attending doctors take care of residents' health, and Director of Rehabilitation Karen Martz, an occupational therapist with 20 years on the job, leads the rehab team. The staff speaks mainly English, but others may speak additional languages. The Center gives social and recreation activities to keep people engaged and offers spa services and comfortable areas for folks to spend time together. Health and safety are a focus, although recent inspection reports list a total of 51 deficiencies, with some tied to infections, areas with accident hazards, supervision issues, and failure to meet professional care standards, all required by federal rules, which means ongoing attention is needed in those areas. Hammonds Lane helps people with daily tasks, following infection control steps, and it offers both skilled nursing and HCBS Medicaid home care, along with staffing, physician, home health, and respiratory therapy services. The place provides options for almost any care need, whether someone is bouncing back from surgery, facing a long-term illness, managing memory troubles, or needing help at the end of life, but those seeking a spot must know it's not open for new admissions right now.
