About Solomons Nursing & Rehab Center

Solomons Nursing & Rehab Center is a 95-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Solomons, Maryland, offering short-term rehabilitation and ongoing residential care.

Family experiences at the center are deeply mixed. Some describe a clean, modern environment with engaged staff who accommodate dietary preferences and prioritize activities, while others report persistent staffing shortages that lead to long waits for assistance. Nursing and rehabilitation staff receive contradictory assessments, some families found them caring and professional, while others felt disrespected or dismissed. One consistent concern centers on the attending physician, whom several families described as dismissive and unkind. Food service stands out as a source of both praise and frustration: one family noted their mother received meals she couldn't eat despite clear dietary restrictions, yet another said staff went above and beyond to accommodate a picky eater.

The facility holds a 2.3-star rating on Google across 22 reviews, reflecting the stark divide in resident and family satisfaction. Prospective families should expect variability in care experience and may want to inquire specifically about staffing levels and physician availability.

clean and modern facility. The nursing/CNA staff are mostly caring, although there are not enough of them for the number of residents that are living there-- this is for- profit health care, after all. Your loved one will wait and wait for assistance when they call for it. The rehabilitation/PT/OT staff have a few nice people, but the majority are mean girls (Hi Melissa, Lori and Nikki!) who hate their jobs and the elders that they are there to help. My mom avoided COVID for 4 years, but contracted it at Solomons Nursing Center from a nurse named Danielle who coughed all over my mom and her roommate. My mom was dead within a month. In contrast, my dad is a resident of Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, which is so much nicer (don’t trust the reviews slamming it). It’s clean, and the staff in every department are attentive and kind. My dad feels cared for.

Wonderful facility. Dean really knows how to get the most out of his team. I think this building is definitely a place that your family member or you could thrive in should you ever need short term skilled nursing care and rehab.

My mother went there for a broken hip when she got there we went over a list of food that she could not eat her first two things on her list for chili and cheese. They brought her chili and cheese hotdogs every other day, and when my mother had to be changed or her diaper being changed they would leave the door wide open while she was laying on the bed naked She would push the button for help and sometimes it would take over an hour for someone to come. This I found out has happened to a lot of people that stay there and they sent her and another gentleman off to the doctors with the driver and no other nurse, or person from the facility if something happened to them what were they supposed to do the staff some of them were great. Others were very rude and nasty. I would not recommend you taking your loved ones there

My mother was in the Solomon's Nursing Center for several weeks. The nurses were very caring, professional and nice. Unfortunately the doctor was absolutely horrible. SHE was mean, uncaring, unavailable, cruel and should not be a doctor of any kind, especially for the elderly. She refused to listen to anything my family had to say or to help my mother. She made my mother's last days absolutely miserable and awful. I would not recommend this center if this doctor is still working there.

I highly recommend Solomons nursing home. The workers are great. The facility is so clean. There are so many activities for the residents. My Grandmother loved it there. My Grandmother was a picky eater and they went above and beyond to order and fix foods she would enjoy. I was never worried about the quality of care that my Grandma was receiving. The staff treated her so lovingly.
