Marshwood Center

Marshwood Center is a skilled nursing facility that has 108 certified beds and sees about 100 residents each day, and while it's managed by Genesis Healthcare Of Maine LLC and Diane Morris has controlled things since November 2023, the center's also run under Genesis Healthcare LLC since 2011, with a team that offers home health care, hospice care, Medicaid HCBS, palliative care, and regular home care, but it's also got short-term rehab, long-term care, respite care, contract rehabilitation, physician services, respiratory therapy, and nursing services, and some assisted living services to fit different needs. The staff offer care in a two-story building where folks can choose private or semi-private rooms, pick their roommates, and there's a pet-friendly policy that means residents can keep animals, along with foster cats around to keep folks company, and there's a range of fun activities, a fitness room, climate control, housekeeping, comfortable common areas, and transportation services for getting around. Meals come with different food options and some say they'd like more meals tailored to the residents, but meal times are regular and there's a focus on making everyone comfortable, and safe, while trying to treat residents with respect and timely responses to what people need. Nurse staffing averages 3.62 hours per resident per day, which is a bit below the state average, but nurse turnover is lower than most at 31.4%, and there's a history of inspection reports that note 13 deficiencies on the latest review, with some related to safe environments, resident rights, and nursing services, so folks looking here should know they work on safety and quality of life but have had issues. Marshwood Center has long-term care, help for VA-contracted residents, and a therapy program called 'Easy Street Environments' where residents practice skills for daily life in spaces with an ATM, a working apartment, a front porch, and a car, and the center's won the AHCA Bronze Quality Award. Staff work to provide medical support, rehabilitation, and personalized care so residents feel human, and aim to keep things clean, friendly, and professional, but people may want to look at recent inspection reports for a fuller picture of care quality.
