Ranked by CMS overall and staffing star ratings. A ClearPath report goes deeper — inspection citations, fines, staffing turnover, review analysis, and safety-flag screening for every facility in your search area.
CMS currently flags 31 Maryland facilities with an abuse icon and lists 6 in the Special Focus program for persistent quality problems. These designations appear automatically in every ClearPath report and cap a facility’s ranking regardless of its star rating.
| Facility | City | Federal Flag |
|---|---|---|
| Bay Harbor Post Acute Healthcare Center | Salisbury | Special Focus |
| Carroll Park Healthcare | Baltimore | Special Focus Abuse Flag |
| Creekside Center For Rehabilitation And Nursing | Hagerstown | Special Focus |
