All 3 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Wayne,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Maple Manor runs a 59-bed for-profit home in Wayne, and the staffing numbers stand out: 5.34 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 38% above the national average, with weekends holding within about 4% of weekday coverage. The catch is retention, 66.7% annual turnover against a national average near 46%, meaning a lot of the people providing that care are new. Its last inspection was July 2025 and the current record shows 20 deficiencies, though none at the harm level and none abuse-related. Quality measure scores sit at 2 out of 5. Plenty of hands on deck, but a constantly changing crew.
Pine Creek Manor runs 49 certified beds in Wayne under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is the first thing to notice: 2.80 total nurse hours per resident day, roughly 28 percent under the national average of 3.86. Weekend coverage dips about 8 percent below its own weekday level, and annual turnover sits at 48.7 percent, modestly above the 45.8 percent national figure. The March 2025 inspection earned a 4-star health inspection rating, and none of the 19 deficiencies on record reached harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related and quality measures score just 2 stars.
The Orchards At Wayne runs 179 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing rating sits at the bottom of the federal scale, one star out of five. That's the number I'd weigh hardest, because daily hands-on care is what staffing measures, and it's the piece families feel most.
The inspection record shows 27 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. A single fine totaling $8,991 has been levied. The most recent inspection was November 2025, so the picture is current, not stale.
Health inspection and quality measure ratings both land at three stars. Nothing here is catastrophic on paper, but the gap between how the place scores on outcomes and how thin the staffing runs is worth asking about directly.
