Who do we care for?
Maryhill Manor in Niagara is a Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center just minutes from Dickinson County Memorial Hospital in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Our award-winning Care Partners provide care to persons with complex care needs requiring short term care for recovery and return to their home as well as longer term care. Our Average Length of Stay for short term rehabilitation is 33.53 days.
We provide on-site therapies who in collaboration with our Clinical Team treat post acute conditions, recovery from fractures such as hips, post injury rehabilitation, and provide treatment for those recovering from joint replacements, post stroke rehabilitation, cardiac rehabilitation following a heart attack, or post surgical care as well.
We consider each new Resident and their loved ones a part of our "Maryhill Family", and are committed to making their time with us rich and complete. Our Resident Directed Care philosophy empowers our Residents to make decisions about their care, and collaborate with our Team to develop a plan of care individualized to their needs and goals.
Working with our Physical Therapy, Occupational, Therapy, and Skilled Nursing Care Partners, Residents achieve their goals and return to the community successfully or, if with us for a longer stay, continue to pursue self determined Quality of Life with meaning, among friends.

Advocate Program
Coming into a Rehabilitation Center can be very overwhelming for both the newly admitted person and those who care about them. To make this transition less stressful Maryhill's Care Partners coordinate the Admission and introduce the Resident to our Care Team.
Everyone admitted to Maryhill has a Care Partner named as your Advocate waiting to welcome you, show you around your home away from home, and answer any questions left unanswered. As the newest member of our Maryhill family, we want to begin to get to know how we can best support you as you achieve your goals and develop a plan for recovery as YOU desire it be set up.
Your Advocate is available to you and your family at any time throughout the stay and will check in with you to assist you. As our Director of Social Services,our Social Worker Cindy, acts as the Resident Advocate for all Residents at Maryhill. If you have any concerns or questions she is happy to help you at any time as well.
We encourage Residents and their families to stay in close contact with their Advocate, or to talk with the Cindy,our Social Worker, Jana, our Administrator, or Carol, our Director of Nursing Services if specific questions or concerns should arise.
Medical Support
Maryhill's Team works with medical providers in the Niagara-Iron Mountain-Norway area to provide treatment options for each Resident. 
We receive admissions for care from hospitals throughout the region including Dickinson County Health Care System locally, Marquette General in Marquette, Bellin, St. Vincent's, and St. Mary's in Green Bay, Appleton Medical Center, St. Elizabeth, and Theda Clark in the Fox Valley, as well as hospitals in Milwaukee, Madison, Marshfield, Mayo, and various VA Hospitals. Our facility collaborates with these resources to ensure Residents transition smoothly into our envirionment.
We have two Medical Directors at Maryhill, both members of the American Medical Directors Association, who provide guidance, support, and are actively involved in oversight of the Medical professionals providing treatment. Our Medical Directors are actively involved in our Quality Improvement program, and consult with and give direction to our Care Team, as well as keeping us informed of important innovations in health care. Our Medical Directors make routine rounds in rotation on a weekly basis.
Residents choose their own physician, and we have several who come to Maryhill on a regular basis.
If the Resident has a local physician who does not come to our building, they can see their physician at their office and our Licensed Nurses will keep that physcian aware of the Resident's condition by telephone. Appointments are scheduled by our Licensed Nurses so that each Resident is seen by their physcian. Plese see our FAQ section.
Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Ziemba, our Medical Directors, are willing to accept patients who are admitted to Maryhill in addition to those patients they have seen in the community, if desired by the Resident.
Our Consultant Pharmacist reviews our pharmacy services in the facility on a monthly basis, making recommendations regarding pharmacy indicators to the physicians and our Licensed Nurses. Pharmacists are available to Maryhill 24 hours each day by telephone for consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Anytime we go somewhere different we have many questions we would like to ask, but may not think of when we are with those who can help. At Maryhill we want you to feel comfortable asking any team member, but here are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive to help you get started.
What are the Visiting Hours?
Visiting hours are just as they were at home. We encourage guests to spend time at times convenient for them, as able. The entry doors are locked for safety from 10pm-5am, however, there is a doorbell your guest may use if you wish to have a visitor later in the evening. If your guest is planning to visit during this time, it would be helpful for them to call the nurses to let them know the guest will be coming so we can watch for them, or to check with our patient to make sure they are prepared for a late evening guest. Our phone number is 715-251-3172.
What clothing or personal care items should I bring?
You will want easy care washable clothing, under clothing, socks, well fitting shoes, sweaters or other items you normally would wear at home. Clothing will be marked with your name using FABRIC TAPE so we can return it to you promptly after laundering. Personal laundry is returned after washing within 24-48 hours.
We suggest that you bring the following items to start:
5 pair slacks, shirts/blouses 5 pair socks
8 pair underwear 3-4 bras
3 sets of pajamas or nightgowns 2-3 sweaters
Comfortable well fitting shoes and non-skid slippers with enclosed heel for walking and Physical Therapy, if needed
Additional clothing will also be marked so please leave the labeled bag with our team with the name prominently placed on the bag containing the item to be marked.
Some families choose to do laundry for their loved one. If you are doing their laundry, please bring a small covered hamper for soiled clothing storage.
Men should bring an ELECTRIC razor for their personal use clearly marked with their name, and your comb, brush, toothpaste, and other personal items of choice are welcome.
Should I bring my medications from home? How do I get my medications?
Medications from home cannot be used. Most persons come to us from the hospital, where medication changes and adjustments frequently occur. We contract with a pharmacy to prepare and deliver medication for our residents, however, if your pharmacy can dispense your medications using the same method of packaging, and will deliver them to the facility you are welcome to use them as your provider while here. Our pharmacy provider contracts with many of the PDP programs under Medicare Part D, and your choice for coverage will be discussed upon your admission.
When persons are first admitted, our Licensed Nurses will give you the medications ordered by your physician. As your recovery progresses, you may begin to take your medications yourself, with the assistance of our Licensed staff. Before you are discharged home our Licensed Nurses will teach you about the medications you are taking, and how you should take them at home.
Will my Doctor still take care of me? How do I get to appointments?
There are certain physicians licensed in the State of Wisconsin who visit residents at the building on a scheduled basis. You make your decision about who your physician will be, and may need to go out to their office for your visits. Specialists generally schedule their patients to see them in their offices. Some persons choose to have one of the physicians who come to Maryhill see them while they are here. Nurses at Maryhill make appointments for physicians, dentists, podiatrists, or other health care professionals. If your family wishes to be there, or are providing transportation, we ask that they let the nurses know of the most convenient time for them and we will suggest that to the office. We cannot guarantee appointment times.
Transportation for Medicare and Private Pay residents is at your expense. Many times family members will transport their loved one to their physician appointments. Arrangements can be made to use Maryhill's wheelchair accessable van for transportation to appointments. Please visit our Business Office for costs.This is not a covered cost and will be billed. For residents whose payer source is Medical Assistance the resident will not be billed separately for transport services.
How do I call my family or receive phone calls from friends?
We have a telephone available for you and your family in the front living room on which you can make local calls. If you wish to make a long distance phone call from this phone you will need a calling card. If you are too sick to get to the phone and your family calls here we will bring a cordless phone to you so you can chat.
You may choose to have a private telephone installed in your room for your convenience. This is not a covered expense, and you will need to contact the Niagara Telephone Company to make arrangements for this service. You will be billed privately.
We make every effort to assist residents to receive telephone calls and will assist them to the phone when an incoming call is received for them.
Is there a computer I can use to go onto the Internet or send and receive my E Mail?
We have a computer for you to use to stay in contact with your family and friends or have access to the Internet on in the Activities Room. Wireless service is also available in our activity area so if you prefer to use your own computer which is wireless capable please let us know.
If you have your own computer, and space permits in your room, you may wish to bring your own computer for your private use. Internet access is not a covered charge, and you will need to set this service up on your own. You will be billed by your Internet provider privately.
Can I Decorate my room?
We encourage your to bring in small personal items to make y our room more comfortable, even if only staying for a short time. You may wish to bring pictures, a small radio, 20" or less TV, or a small chair from home. Books, magazines, stationery, and other personal interest items may also be desired. For Safety Reasons, no extension cords are permitted in any resident room, and candles are not allowed. CABLE TV is available in each room.
