At a glance

Overview

Augsburg Lutheran Home is a continuing care retirement community on a Baltimore County campus that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Medicare certifies and rates only the skilled nursing facility, which it lists as Resorts of Augsburg. According to federal records, that skilled nursing home is a for profit corporation, despite the campus's Lutheran heritage, so families should not assume the nursing home is nonprofit.

Services offered

The campus offers four levels of care. Because Medicare certifies and rates only the skilled nursing facility, this review focuses there and treats the other levels more briefly.

Independent living

Independent living is for active seniors who want maintenance free apartments or cottages with access to campus amenities. Medicare does not rate independent living, so confirm the details and pricing directly with Augsburg.

Assisted living

Assisted living supports residents who need help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Like independent living, assisted living is licensed by the state rather than rated by Medicare, so ask the community for its most recent state survey.

Memory care

Memory care serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, usually in a secure area with specially trained staff. Medicare does not rate memory care, so confirm current availability, staffing, and security directly with the community.

Skilled nursing care

Skilled nursing is the part of the campus that Medicare certifies and rates. It provides round the clock nursing, short term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, and long term care for chronic conditions. The federal ratings below apply to this skilled nursing facility.

Medicare star ratings for the skilled nursing facility

Medicare rates every certified nursing home from 1 to 5 stars overall, with separate ratings for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Here is how the skilled nursing facility stands on Medicare.gov Care Compare.

• Overall rating: 2 out of 5 stars, which Medicare calls below average.
• Health inspection rating: 2 out of 5 stars, below average, based on state inspectors' on site surveys.
• Staffing rating: 4 out of 5 stars, above average.
• Quality measure rating: 4 out of 5 stars, above average.

What the ratings mean here

• The pattern is unusual. Staffing and quality measures are strong, but the facility's inspection record pulls the overall score down to below average. In plain terms, the home appears well staffed, yet state surveys have repeatedly found problems.

Staffing and inspections

One clear strength is staffing. Medicare reports about 4.42 total nursing hours per resident per day, above the national average of roughly 3.9 hours. That includes about 0.84 hours with a registered nurse, 2.63 hours with nurse aides, and 1.79 hours with licensed nurses. Nursing staff turnover of about 48 percent over the year is moderate. Generous staffing is one of the more reassuring things a family can find in a nursing home.

Recent inspections and fines

• The inspection side is weaker. The facility earns 2 out of 5 stars for health inspections, and its most recent standard survey, completed on December 10, 2025, was extensive, citing 30 deficiencies. These spanned infection control, medication and pharmacy practices, care planning, and dietary services. One infection control finding was cited as widespread within the facility, though inspectors did not record actual harm to residents. The facility does not carry a Medicare abuse warning.
• Federal records also show four fines in 2024 totaling about $23,896, the largest being $16,300. No Medicare or Medicaid payment denials are listed. It is fair to ask the facility how these issues were addressed.

What families should ask

1. If you are considering the skilled nursing facility, a below average inspection record makes an in person visit and specific questions important. Consider asking the following.
2. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, from December 2025, and the facility's written plan of correction for the deficiencies cited.
3. Ask what led to the 2024 fines and what has changed since.
4. Ask how the facility keeps its strong staffing levels consistent across evenings, nights, and weekends.
5. For independent living, assisted living, or memory care, ask for pricing and the relevant state license and survey, since Medicare does not rate those levels.

Plan your visit

Tours are available by appointment. A visit is the best way to see the skilled nursing unit, meet the staff, and ask about the inspection findings and staffing for yourself.
