Compare Providers
Two or three providers side by side, across the public record: licensing, ratings, inspections, penalties, staffing, ownership, and what care costs locally. Where no agency publishes a figure for a kind of provider, the cell says so rather than sitting empty next to a number and reading like a low score.
Stella Maris, INC vs. American Medical Staffing
Care types
What each provider is licensed or certified to deliver. Different care types answer to different regulators, which is why the rows below are not always comparable.
Stella Maris, INC
In-Home Care, Nursing Homes
American Medical Staffing
In-Home Care
Licensed capacity
Beds or units on the license. A capacity, not an occupancy.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold no licensed capacity for either of these providers, and cannot yet say whether that means there is nothing to report or a file we have not read. Nothing here should be read as a difference between them.
Stella Maris, INC
Not establishedThe roster we read for this provider does not carry a licensed capacity. Not every state publishes one.
American Medical Staffing
Not establishedThe roster we read for this provider does not carry a licensed capacity. Not every state publishes one.
License status
The status word the state registry uses, reproduced exactly. We do not translate or grade it.

Licensed
Issued by Maryland · License R1194
American Medical Staffing
Licensed
Issued by Maryland · License R2983
Published rating
Whatever the publishing regulator published, on the scale the regulator used. Nothing here is rescaled to five stars.
Not a like-for-like comparison. Only some of these providers are covered by a system that publishes published rating. The blank column is not a low score. Nobody collects this figure for that kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one.

American Medical Staffing
Not comparableMaryland does not publish quality ratings for home care agencies, so no agency in this state has one. Star ratings for care at home come from CMS and cover Medicare-certified home health agencies, which hold a different license.
Inspection citations
How many citations are on record, and how recent the newest one is.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold inspection citations for some of these providers and not for others, and we cannot yet say whether the gap means a clean record or a file we have not read. Treat the difference between these columns as unknown, not as a finding.

Not establishedNo inspection records are in our data yet. That can mean a clean record, or that this provider's inspection history has not been ingested. Verify directly with the state licensing agency above before assuming either.
Fines and payment denials
Enforcement actions on record, with the total fine amount where the source publishes one.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold fines and payment denials for some of these providers and not for others, and we cannot yet say whether the gap means a clean record or a file we have not read. Treat the difference between these columns as unknown, not as a finding.

None on recordCMS lists no fines or payment denials for this facility. That comes from the Care Compare penalty file, updated monthly, which names every certified nursing home CMS has penalized in the last three years.
American Medical Staffing
Not establishedNo fines or enforcement actions from the state licensing agency are in our data for this provider yet.
Nurse staffing hours
Payroll-based nurse hours per resident per day, against the median for the same state.
Not a like-for-like comparison. Only some of these providers are covered by a system that publishes nurse staffing hours. The blank column is not a low score. Nobody collects this figure for that kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one.
Stella Maris, INC
4.15 hrs/resident/day
0.55 hours above the Maryland median of 3.60 hours.
American Medical Staffing
Not comparableStaffing hours are published for nursing homes and for no other kind of provider. Federal law requires Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing homes to file payroll-based nurse hours with CMS every quarter, and no agency collects the same return from home care agencies.
Ownership and chain
Who owns the provider, and who runs it when those are different companies.
Not a like-for-like comparison. We hold ownership and chain for some of these providers and not for others, and we cannot yet say whether the gap means a clean record or a file we have not read. Treat the difference between these columns as unknown, not as a finding.

Reading the blanks
A blank cell on this page is never just missing. It is one of three claims, and they mean very different things.
- None on record.
- We hold the whole published file for this measure and this provider is not in it. A real zero, and a finding in its own right.
- Not comparable.
- No agency publishes this measure for this kind of provider, so no provider of its kind has one. Shown hatched, because it is not a score at all.
- Not established.
- We cannot yet say whether the silence means a clean record or a file we have not read. We would rather tell you that than guess.
