Is Maple Springs of Wasilla a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 5 out of 5 stars overall, above the Alaska average of 3.6. Inspectors issued 33 citations in the last three years. CMS imposed 1 penalty in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 4 out of 5; for long-term residents, 2 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Maple Springs of Wasilla: Medicare and Medicaid

Maple Springs of Wasilla is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period.
