Oakwood SNF: Food Temperature Violations Found - MD
When federal inspectors visited Oakwood SNF LLC on October 9, 2025, they brought a test tray with them — a standard tool for checking whether a facility is actually serving food the way it should be served. The breakfast that came back that morning told a specific story. The scrambled eggs were fine. The bacon was fine. But three of the cold items on that tray were sitting at temperatures that crossed the threshold inspectors use to define a food safety failure.
The inspection was a complaint survey, meaning someone had raised a concern about the facility before inspectors arrived. The test tray was one of two sampled. The other passed. This one didn't.
Cold food held above 41 degrees creates conditions where bacteria can grow. The gap between what inspectors found and what the limit allows was not a matter of a degree or two. The cream cheese was nearly 13 degrees over. The milk was more than 11 degrees over. The apple juice was more than 8 degrees over.
Inspectors noted the violation at the exit conference, informing the facility's administrative team directly before leaving. The deficiency was cited at a level of minimal harm or potential for actual harm, affecting a small number of residents.
Oakwood SNF LLC is located at 1300 Windlass Drive in Middle River, Maryland.
The facility was given the opportunity to submit a plan of correction. CMS directs residents or family members with questions about that plan to contact the nursing home or the state survey agency directly.

Additional Resources
Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
