Maple Heights Health & Rehab Center sits over in Ebensburg, PA, right among the Allegheny Mountains, and folks will notice it's a 301-bed skilled nursing and rehab community run directly by Saber Healthcare Holdings, LLC, with Saber Governance, LLC having the managerial control since July 2023, and it's a for-profit place that works as part of the Saber Healthcare Group. The community has a lot of services-24-hour skilled nursing care for things like heart problems, IV therapy, pain management, wound care, post-surgery recovery, stroke and pulmonary care, and it even has its own dialysis and ventilator units, plus bariatric care, and on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapies. There's care for folks with memory impairment too, and a secure dementia unit with expert Alzheimer's and dementia care professionals, and they also provide adult day care, personal care, long-term and short-term care, assisted living, hospice, and respite care. There's a focus on transitional care with the Progressive Approach to Home (PATH) program, helping people recover and return home safely, using evidence-based care to keep hospital visits down. Folks can get involved in specialized programs or sign up for a pre-registration program if they plan rehab before surgery, plus there's a Memory Care Neighborhood aimed at helping keep residents safe and engaged.
Maple Heights Health & Rehab Center reports an average of 150 residents each day, and it's got 301 certified beds for skilled nursing and rehab services. The nurse staffing rate is 3.51 hours per resident per day, but the nurse turnover is high at 58.6%, so staff changes are common. The center has a record of deficiencies-117 total according to inspection reports-with several linked to resident rights, like allowing self-administration of medication when appropriate, and not always keeping things as safe, clean, or homelike as folks might expect. Infection-related issues have shown up five times in recent reports, and it's also listed as a Special Focus Facility Candidate, reflecting past serious quality concerns. Residents get outdoor space, restaurant-style dining, and prepared meals, and every room has cable, telephone, and Wi-Fi. Medicaid and Medicare are accepted. Maple Heights has a sister community next door called Villages of Maple Heights, sitting on the same campus, and together these facilities serve a range of senior needs in the Ebensburg area.
