SMP Health - Maryhill

SMP Health - Maryhill sits at 110 Hillcrest Drive in Enderlin, ND, and has helped the community since 1964, holding to the values set by the Sisters of Mary of the Presentation, so people living there can expect a sense of respect, compassion, and dignity in daily routines and that's really what folks remember; it's a non-profit nursing home with 42 certified beds, offering skilled nursing services, long term care, and rehab services, including things like occupational, physical, and speech therapy, dementia programming, wound care, respite care, hospice care, IV therapy, and tube feeding, so people can get the care they need whether they're staying for a short rehab after the hospital or need more help every day because of age or health needs. Residents get support from healthcare workers like Certified Nursing Assistants, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, a Certified Medication Aide, and there's even a DON, Sheila Ripplinger, so plenty of trained staff, though nurse turnover runs at about 40.8% and workers offer close to 4.29 nurse hours per resident each day, which matters when folks want to know who's coming in and out of their room. It's been under the direction of Bailyn Walz since October 2021, with Aaron Alton and the Sisters Of Mary Of The Presentation Long Term Care leading since 2002, and the facility itself is pretty direct about what it offers, covering social, psychological, and spiritual needs, giving meals from their dietary department, with cooks on staff, plus laundry and housekeeping for daily living, and making sure folks of all faiths feel at home, which the mission emphasizes. The facility's got a bit of a history with inspection issues, as it has 20 deficiencies in inspection reports and a few recent ones worth noting, including one for administration (F0836) and one about nutrition and dietary (F0812), both pointing to possible risks for more than minimal harm without actual harm happening, and there's also been an infection-related deficiency noted, though nothing that suggests serious incidents have occurred. Folks can learn more through the resident handbook and there's information about privacy rights, with a pre-admission form ready for new entries, and the emergency preparedness plans are in place if things go wrong. People who want to work here can fill out applications online, by mail, or fax, and benefits include things like health, dental, vision, HSA, Flexible Spending, retirement, and a 401(k), with contributions, short-term disability, employee help programs, and holiday perks. Classes for Certified Nurse Aides are offered, so staff training seems important here. Dietary management, case management, and spiritual care are named as main focuses, and care is intended to feel welcoming, respectful, and like home to each resident, no matter how long they stay.
