Maple Grove Health Care Center sits over in Lebanon, Virginia, and you'll find it's a skilled nursing facility with 60 certified beds and about 45 residents, offering different kinds of care for seniors who can't live safely by themselves anymore, whether they need help just to get through the day, special medical care, or support for memory loss, so when you go in, you'll see nurses and certified nursing assistants on duty every day, and they provide care around the clock, whether it's for bathing, dressing, or getting from place to place, and there's always staff nearby to help with medications, manage wounds, and assist with other health needs you might have, including speech therapy, physical therapy, and even things like foot care and vision checks, which are all arranged right there on site so nobody has to travel far for services. The place runs several social support programs to keep everyone healthy and safe, and there are organized activities-arts and crafts, religious services, educational programs, music lessons, even games in the activity room or movie nights in the small theater-so residents can spend time together, make friends, and enjoy each other's company, and there are both staff-run and resident-run activities too, so everyone can join in at their own pace, join in organized groups, or spend quiet time in the library, garden, or game room.
Rooms have private bathrooms, cable TV, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, along with the kind of furniture suited for seniors, like easy chairs and accessible storage, and there are features like a kitchenette and a phone line in each room; some rooms even allow for a bit more privacy. Meals are served all day, restaurant style, and there's special attention to diets, whether for allergies or diabetes, with a professional chef running the kitchen. There's a dining hall, on-site café, a small convenience store on property, and outdoor walking paths and gardens where residents can get a bit of fresh air, plus a swimming pool and fitness room for those who want to move a little, or a wellness room to check in on personal health.
Families often find it easier to visit or stay involved because Maple Grove isn't inside a hospital and isn't connected to a broader retirement community, but there are both resident and family councils to help make decisions about care and improvements, and the staff keeps everyone in the loop. The facility accepts Medicare and Medicaid, runs as a non-profit, and shares its quality and inspection results as required by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so you'll see quarterly data about health inspections, staffing hours, and quality of care posted, and staff stays up to date on safe food handling, infection control, and record keeping. There are also programs for housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, arranging moves, and there's a van for rides to appointments as well as parking for guests. You'll find Maple Grove provides different services ranging from short stays for recovery to long-term nursing home care, memory care for those with Alzheimer's, hospice for end-of-life needs, and extra support for people who need help every day, and with 60 beds and a current occupancy around 75%, there's usually a bed or two available if someone's looking to move in soon.
