Sterling Care at Frostburg Village sits at One Kaylor Circle, Route 36 & Route 40, in Frostburg, Maryland, and provides a wide range of care for older adults in a large community setting, with 122 beds and about 99 to 111 residents, making it a bit less full than other places in Maryland. This place has skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, memory care, hospice, respite, and even adult day care, so folks with many different care needs can find support here, and folks can choose between private or semi-private rooms, some with their own kitchenette, a private bathroom, air conditioning, cable TV, and phone service if wanted, and there's Wi-Fi in the rooms too, which is useful when grandkids visit or if someone likes to keep up online. Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, while there's always staff around and a 24-hour call system, so someone's close by if help's needed at any time, and registered nurses give 12 to 16 hours of coverage every day.
The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, with about 122 Medicaid beds, so folks with those insurances can live here, and there's help available for figuring out eligibility, income limits, and long-term planning. The community has a resident council, but not a family council, and it's owned by a for-profit company that doesn't own other nursing homes. It's not in a hospital, but does offer plenty of therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, wound care, diabetic support, pain management, nutrition help, and respiratory therapy, so people who need rehab or post-hospital care can get what they need under one roof. Folks here can also get care specific to Alzheimer's or dementia, but those services usually cost a bit more than other levels of care.
Sterling Care at Frostburg Village tries to keep life active and interesting with scheduled and resident-run activities like book clubs, fitness programs, movie nights, BBQs, devotional services, day trips, and outdoor gardening, as well as an arts room, game room, library, movie theater, and a computer center, and there's always outdoor common space and walking paths for folks who want fresh air. There's a pet-friendly policy, so both cats and small dogs are welcome, and on-site amenities include a beauty salon, fitness room, wellness room, and community transportation for doctor's appointments and errands, plus meal services by a professional chef that can fit special diets and diabetic needs, with one or two meals a day and snacks, or all-day dining if residents prefer.
Sterling Care h as an active volunteer program, offers caregiver training and education, certification programs, CNA transfer help, and resources for caregivers looking for work or training, so it's as much a place focused on helping families and staff as on helping residents. The state's inspected the facility multiple times, with recent visits showing fairly good results, earning a C overall grade and an A-minus for inspections, and there are always some deficiencies and complaints that get attention as needed, but the staff and community work through them with the goal of safe, steady care. The facility participates in Medicare and Medicaid, but isn't a continuing care retirement community.
Overall, this facility provides a sweeping list of practical services and programs that try to address both the daily living needs and the medical requirements of older adults, while keeping residents' comfort, safety, and engagement in mind.
