Maggie Valley Nursing And Rehabilitation sits in the mountains in Maggie Valley, NC, over at 75 Fisher Loop, where the air seems a little clearer and residents get care with some peace and quiet around them, and with 114 certified beds they take care of an average of about 102 people each day, which means it's usually busy but never too crowded. This place runs as a for-profit, limited liability company, tied to the Maximus Healthcare Group, with Brenda Silvers working as the administrator, and it stays involved with the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, so folks around here know its name. They offer skilled nursing care all day and night, with nurses putting in an average of 3.47 hours per resident per day, which is about what you'd find in facilities around the state, though you'll notice the nurse turnover rate is pretty high at 61.5%, meaning sometimes it's a new face tending to residents.
The facility delivers many types of care, from long-term care to short-term post-acute care, with a focus on helping people recover after hospital stays, and the team's used to handling folks with complex health needs, including those who need wound care, because they have a wound care RN who's known to be reliable and kind. They've got a dedicated memory care unit too, for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, so families can know their loved ones get thoughtful attention in a secure place, and they offer palliative and hospice care for folks who need extra comfort at the end of life. Specialty programs cover things like rehabilitation therapy, respiratory and trach care, and they provide registered dietician services to help meet special dietary needs, plus psychological services for emotional support.
Maggie Valley Nursing And Rehabilitation wants care to feel personal, so they shape plans to fit each resident and try to keep things holistic, but like many facilities, they've had some difficulties; recent inspections found 12 deficiencies, including issues with infection control and pharmacy services, so they're under watch to correct those problems and keep improving. The staff use current medical practices, but inspection records are important to review if you're considering a facility. Amenities here include shuttle services for getting to appointments or outings, and residents may find a supportive environment thanks to staff who usually try to make everyone feel cared for, despite the challenges. The building itself is kept up to meet care needs, while the setting in the mountains provides a calm place for recovery or long-term stays.
