COMPLETE CARE AT CORSICA HILLS LLC
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Complete Care at Corsica Hills LLC has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about the quality of care provided. Ranked #149 out of 219 facilities in Maryland, they fall in the bottom half, but they are the only option in Queen Annes County. The facility's situation is stable, with 12 issues identified in both 2019 and 2024. Staffing is rated average with a 3/5 star rating, but a troubling turnover rate of 55% suggests that many staff members leave, which can disrupt continuity of care. The facility has been fined $55,564, which is higher than 84% of other Maryland facilities, raising red flags about compliance. While the nursing home offers more RN coverage than 86% of facilities in the state, there are serious weaknesses, including a critical incident where staff failed to recognize and act on potential abuse of several residents. Additionally, there were concerns regarding the inadequacy in addressing grievances raised by residents, which could leave issues unresolved. Families should weigh these strengths and weaknesses carefully when considering this facility for their loved ones.
