4.8 / 5.0

I would recommend Maple Lake. The staff is wonderful. Move in, and then a second move to a room with a view, was great. My parents will be 98 this summer. Mom has dementia and doesn't eat much. Dad has always been an extremely picky eater. They both say the breakfast is great. I have eaten lunch (th...

3.3 / 5.0

The owner was amazing, sweet, and kind. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

5 / 5.0

I'm pretty much a 5 on each of the items above. My only caveat is they had pretty high turnover of people and there were lapses in personnel and some services. My mom couldn't have her hair done for at least six months. I think this is symptomatic of these facilities.
