Maple Wood Assisted Living sits at 10547 North Reed Road in Hayden, Idaho, where JoAnn and Jake Isaksen own and run a medium-sized residential care home with 16 licensed beds, offering both assisted living and memory care services. The building holds studio units, semi-private living quarters, and private rooms, plus shared areas for arts and crafts, dining, games, movies, reading, and gardening, all designed to help people feel at home while getting the daily help they need, and there's even a greenhouse, snack shop, a chapel, and places to walk or sit outside. Staff help with transportation, home health needs, medication management, dressing, bathing, and meals, and they're around all day and night for emergencies, help with mobility, or when someone needs special care for conditions like dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, or incontinence, and they oversee custom care plans for each resident.
The food uses quality ingredients and aims to support good health, including allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly options, and the kitchen staff offers three meals a day and snacks, taking the worry out of meal preparation. Residents have access to facility-wide wifi, a library, fitness center, barbershop, and a laundry service, and there's a mix of planned activities from arts and crafts to gardening, scenic drives, movie nights, card games, and musical events so there's always something to do, whether people like to be social or just watch what's going on. Memory care residents live in a secured environment with trained staff, memory activities, and tools to reduce confusion or wandering, and rooms have alert systems for safety.
The staff at Maple Wood Assisted Living regularly get described as friendly, helpful, and joyful, creating a positive atmosphere for everyone, and many families have noted the home-like, welcoming feel when they visit. Housekeeping, bathroom reminders, move-in help, and tailored daily plans help make transitioning a bit easier, and the facility helps keep people as independent as possible while still offering support for those who need it. The building itself has a comfortable, relaxed air with homestyle touches and outdoor seating where people can watch the birds or garden a little. The facility has earned an overall rating of 4.0 out of 5 with praise for its meals, staff, and building, and it carries a value rating of 3.8. Maple Wood doesn't take Medicare unless it's certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, so families have to check eligibility options, but it does offer respite care if someone needs a break from full-time care responsibilities. Maple Wood Assisted Living got featured in the Best of Senior Living awards and continues to focus on a safe, steady environment, personal care, and daily engagement for seniors in Kootenai County.
