About Chesapeake Shores Nursing Center

+
Chesapeake Shores Nursing Center offers skilled nursing care in the heart of Lexington Park, Maryland, serving the families of St. Mary's County from its location at 21412 Great Mills Road. Lexington Park occupies a distinctive place in Southern Maryland — a community shaped by the presence of Naval Air Station Patuxent River, the region's largest employer, and the natural grandeur of the Patuxent River watershed and the greater Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. The Great Mills Road corridor is the commercial and medical spine of Lexington Park, giving Chesapeake Shores Nursing Center excellent access to the services and resources that families rely on. MedStar St. Mary's Hospital in Leonardtown — the county's primary acute care facility — is accessible via Route 5 and Route 235, enabling smooth hospital-to-nursing-home care transitions for recovering patients. The clinical team at Chesapeake Shores works in close coordination with hospital discharge planners and attending physicians to ensure continuity of care from the first day of admission. Lexington Park and the surrounding Patuxent River area offer a lifestyle that blends military community pride with Southern Maryland's coastal character. The Shops at Lexington Village and the many retail and dining options along Three Notch Road and Great Mills Road give families convenient places to run errands before or after visits. For those who love the outdoors, St. Mary's River State Park — encompassing one of Maryland's finest natural lakes — is a short drive away, offering fishing, kayaking, and hiking amid serene Chesapeake lowland scenery. Point Lookout State Park, at the southernmost tip of the Maryland peninsula where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake, is another beloved regional destination. Chesapeake Shores Nursing Center is operated by a limited liability company with a focus on delivering professional, resident-centered skilled nursing services. The nursing and therapy teams provide 24-hour licensed care, post-acute rehabilitation, wound management, and long-term nursing support tailored to each resident's medical and personal needs. The facility's Lexington Park setting ensures that residents remain connected to the military, civic, and natural community that makes this corner of Southern Maryland uniquely welcoming. For families throughout St. Mary's County — from California to Hollywood to Mechanicsville — Chesapeake Shores Nursing Center represents a locally grounded, professionally staffed choice for skilled nursing care close to home.
