Chestertown Nursing and Rehab

Chestertown Nursing and Rehab sits on Morgnec Road in Chestertown, Maryland, with certified beds for ninety-two residents and an average of seventy people staying at one time, and the place is open around the clock, every day of the week, even Sundays, so folks are never left alone and always have nearby care, and meals are provided, and there's indoor common areas where you can sit and talk, with activities planned on-site and devotional services for those who want them, and if someone gets hurt or there's a big change in health, staff will tell doctors, families, and the residents right away. Residents can choose long-term care, short-term rehab, respite care, or hospice services, with skilled nursing staff and rehab therapists working together to match the care to what each person needs, and they try to focus on dignity and respect, making people feel comfortable with care plans built just for them. The team says they're dedicated to safety and check their protocols often, offering a warm atmosphere with scenic views, and they have activities and programs that try to help with physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Some details to bear in mind, though, are that the facility has had forty-eight inspection deficiencies, including two for infection control, and has been cited for medication errors, problems with keeping the place clean or safe, and not setting up a steady quality assessment group. The nurse turnover rate is 63.7%, higher than the Maryland average, and there are fewer nursing hours per resident per day compared to other places in the state, which means nurses may be stretched thin. The business side is handled by a for-profit company called MD4 Holdco, LLC, owned by Yechiel Hirth, and management staff information isn't made public, which some folks may wonder about. There are family and resident councils, and the home accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and the building is fully sprinklered for fire safety. While there's no published price list and no information on whether it's part of a Quality Indicator Survey, and it's not inside a hospital or a retirement community, many people like the compassionate community feeling and the reliable meal service.
