MAPLE SPRINGS OF WASILLA

Maple Springs of Wasilla earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and places it well above most facilities nationally. That overall rating is built from three separate scores: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious violations than at most nursing homes - a reassuring sign that the facility is being run safely and cleanly. The staffing rating is a perfect 5 stars, which tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with each resident compared to the vast majority of facilities. In practical terms, that means your loved one is less likely to wait long for help and more likely to get attentive, personalized care. The quality measures rating sits at 4 stars, reflecting above-average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management - the things that most directly affect a resident's day-to-day health and comfort. The way these pieces fit together is straightforward: CMS weighs all three scores to produce the overall rating, and when two out of three categories hit the top mark and the third is still above average, the result is that 5-star composite. For families comparing options, this combination is genuinely encouraging. It suggests Maple Springs of Wasilla is not just checking boxes on paper but delivering solid, well-staffed care with real health outcomes to back it up.
