DEVLIN MANOR NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER
Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Devlin Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has received a Trust Grade of B+, indicating that it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. It ranks #15 out of 219 facilities in Maryland, placing it in the top half, and is the best option among eight facilities in Allegany County. The facility's trend is stable, with the same number of issues reported in both 2023 and 2025, but there are some concerns, including a period from December 2021 to July 2022 when they did not have a qualified social worker on staff. Staffing is a weak point, receiving a rating of 2 out of 5 stars, with a turnover rate of 43%, which is average, meaning staff may not remain long enough to build strong relationships with residents. However, the facility has not incurred any fines, which is a positive sign, and it has adequate RN coverage, ensuring that nurses can catch potential issues that assistants may miss. Specific incidents include delays in assessing changes in residents' conditions, which could hinder timely treatment, and a previous failure to maintain safe operating conditions in the kitchen. Overall, while there are notable strengths, families should weigh the staffing challenges and past compliance issues when making their decision.

What Should Families Ask When Visiting Devlin Manor?
Based on this facility's data, families visiting should ask: "Can you walk me through typical staffing levels on day, evening, and night shifts?" "Can I visit during a mealtime to observe dining assistance and food quality?" "How do you handle medical emergencies, and what is your hospital transfer rate?" "Can I speak with family members of current residents about their experience?" These questions are particularly relevant given the below-average staffing rating.
Is Devlin Manor Safe?
Based on CMS inspection data, DEVLIN MANOR NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER has a clean safety record: no substantiated abuse findings (meaning no confirmed cases of resident harm), no Immediate Jeopardy citations (the most serious violation level indicating risk of serious injury or death), and is not on the Special Focus Facility watch list (a federal program monitoring the lowest-performing 1% of nursing homes). The facility has a 5-star overall rating and ranks #1 of 100 nursing homes in Maryland. While no facility is perfect, families should still ask about staff-to-resident ratios and recent inspection results during their visit.
Do Nurses at Devlin Manor Stick Around?
DEVLIN MANOR NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER has a staff turnover rate of 43%, which is about average for Maryland nursing homes (state average: 46%). Moderate turnover is common in nursing homes, but families should still ask about staff tenure and how the facility maintains care continuity when employees leave.
Was Devlin Manor Ever Fined?
DEVLIN MANOR NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER has no federal fines on record. CMS issues fines when nursing homes fail to meet care standards or don't correct problems found during inspections. The absence of fines suggests the facility has either maintained compliance or corrected any issues before penalties were assessed. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review recent inspection reports for the full picture.
Is Devlin Manor on Any Federal Watch List?
DEVLIN MANOR NURSING AND REHABILITATION CENTER is not on any federal watch list. The most significant is the Special Focus Facility (SFF) program, which identifies the bottom 1% of nursing homes nationally based on persistent, serious quality problems. Not being on this list means the facility has avoided the pattern of deficiencies that triggers enhanced federal oversight. This is a positive indicator, though families should still review the facility's inspection history directly.
