Turtle Creek Rehabilitation and Wellness Center

Its website lists short-term rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, 24-hour nursing care with IV therapy, wound care, and tracheostomy care, cardiac and stroke recovery, orthopedic and amputee rehabilitation, bariatric care, and structured Alzheimer's and dementia support. It also lists respiratory care, infectious disease management, oncology support, and behavioral health services. Always confirm any specific service with the admissions team before deciding.

Not inside the building. The website says dialysis services are available with transportation support — meaning the center coordinates rides to outside dialysis rather than running its own unit. If your family member needs dialysis, ask exactly where treatments happen, how transport is arranged, and how schedules are handled.

It is certified for 140 beds and houses about 127 residents on a typical day, which makes it a larger home that usually runs close to full. A bigger building can mean a wider range of clinical services, but it is smart to ask about bed availability early if you are planning an admission.

This deserves close attention. Government inspectors give it 1 out of 5 stars overall: 1 star for health inspections, with 25 deficiencies cited in the most recent cycle and two federal fines totaling about 96,000 dollars. It scored 3 stars for staffing and 4 stars for quality-of-care measures. A low inspection score does not tell you what daily life feels like today, so ask what was cited, what has been fixed, and whether leadership has changed. These ratings come from official inspections and reporting, not family reviews.

It is run as a for-profit corporation and is part of the CommuniCare family of companies, a family-owned operator with 121 facilities across six states. In Maryland, CommuniCare runs 16 other centers, including Harmony Suites in Silver Spring, Hidden Waters in Clinton, and Forestville Rehabilitation and Wellness Center in Forestville.

The website lists private and semi-private room options, meals planned around dietary and cultural needs, daily housekeeping and laundry, Wi-Fi and cable throughout the building, resident lounges and activity areas, and transportation for appointments and community outings. Ask to see both room types on a tour.

Call the center at (301) 933-0060 or use the schedule-a-tour form on its website. The services page says admissions are available 7 days a week. The site does not post visiting hours, so ask when you call.
