Overview of Maple Grove Health & Rehabilitation Center

With a dedicated memory care program, Maple Grove Health & Rehabilitation Center is a one-story nursing home in Greensboro, North Carolina. The 210-bed facility is built on a single floor, which means occupants and family members navigate rooms, dining areas, and care spaces without needing elevators. For people with changing mobility, such a layout matters.

With a Walk Score of 51, the neighborhood is averagely walkable. Some errands can be finished on foot, while others need a car. The area suits visiting families planning regular trips. The average resident stay is about 231 days, roughly seven and a half months. This blend of shorter-term and longer-term residents, including those in memory care, mirrors the facility’s role in post-acute recovery and active skilled care for people whose needs have deepened over time. Nursing care here averages 3 hours 49 minutes per resident day, with about 45 minutes of that time coming from a registered nurse and the remainder from nursing aides and licensed practical nurses. That stable, hands-on support is the backbone of daily care. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted to give families several ways to cover rehabilitation and longer-term care. Occupants benefit from on-site therapy services, social support programs, and structured activities.
