How to read Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 5-star overall rating means Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel sits in the upper tier of rated providers nationally, though a strong overall score can still hide a weaker individual domain.
For Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel, CMS currently publishes 4 out of 5 for health inspections, 2 out of 5 for staffing, 5 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other MD providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: the MD average is 3.1. Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel rates 5 out of 5, in line with that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.
Before you rely on a clean record, ask Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the MD survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What assisted living costs near Autumn lake at waugh, MD
MD assisted living typically runs $3,800 to $6,000 per month, a midpoint of roughly $4,900 — about $58,800 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.

Medicare does not pay for room and board in this care category. Common funding routes are private pay, long-term care insurance, a state Medicaid waiver where one exists, and VA Aid and Attendance for eligible veterans and surviving spouses.
When you call Autumn Lake Healthcare at Waugh Chapel, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
