Only for basic supervision

Very clean place - looks awesome... but very very short staffed on the regular and the advertised menu is never what they really get.. Checks every 2 hrs. at night were not being done. :( We pulled her from Maple Ridge due to the lack of proper care. The place is ok for folks that need just basic supervision... nothing really more than that.

Our family's experience

The staff was minimal on weekends. Maple Ridge assisted living coordinator told me that this would be my mother's final home, that they were experienced with residents with Parkinson's disease, that Mom would be able to move next door to their full-care residence without a waiting list. Yet when my mother needed more care, they encouraged ER to admit her to the hospital, then short-term rehab at an unrelated facility and refused to allow Mom to return to either Maple Ridge facility. Not a good place for full care!

DO NOT MOVE YOUR LOVED ONE HERE

It is astounding how there are "good reviews" on here, and I wouldn't put it past the management team to have paid for them. Where do I begin? Everything looks great on the outside but the behind the scenes is total deceit. Let start that the ED is not a nurse, yet takes call for the med techs, how is this legal? Their care plans generic and well the staff doesn't even follow those. I was lied to by the Resident Care Director and given false documents. Now that my loved one has passed I am finally comfortable speak

Our families experience with Maple Ridge has been wonderful. Mom feels very comfortable and the staff truly cares.......

I give 5's across the board for Maple Ridge. The staff has been amazing. My mother tells us all the time that they are all so very good to her. The food is good. The facility pretty well maintained. Our families experience with Maple Ridge has been wonderful. Mom feels very comfortable and the staff truly cares. She comments all the time about how well they treat her.
