Dr. Stella didn't have to think very long to come up with many reasons for choosing Maple Manor. "We are family physician-run, not corporate. There is always a physician-owner available to talk to patients and family. "We are hands on and we supervise directly. So if anything is not going right, we can immediately solve the problem. "Our doctors are board-certified, from cardiology to physical medicine rehabilitation. Our nurses and therapists have excellent results and we maintain strong staffing ratios. "We are a patient-centered facility where the patient and family always come first. We do the right thing and provide the best care." Locations - Maple Manor has two facilities located in Wayne and Novi. It will be constructing a new facility located in Howell in 2018.
