Maple Woods Assisted Living sits on over five peaceful acres near Grand Rapids, MN, with another small location north of Deer River, and you'll notice the quiet country setting and big lawns with flower and vegetable gardens right away, which can be especially nice for folks who like a little bit of nature. Maple Woods has 24 bedrooms, with 10 assisted living rooms-one set up for a couple who wants to stay together-and 14 memory care rooms in wings built in 2013, and all rooms have large closets, private or shared bathrooms, with spaces for residents to decorate and furnish themselves, so people can make the place feel a bit more like home, and each wing has big living rooms where people gather to watch TV or visit, plus there's a community room for larger activities and movie nights. Staff are around 24 hours a day, and RN's as well as LPN's provide care, so residents always have someone to help, and the client-to-employee ratio is better than many other long-term care places; help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and all the daily routines is available, and there's support for folks who want to stay as independent as possible while having help close at hand.
Maple Woods has assisted living and memory care services, so it works for people needing support with every day tasks, as well as those dealing with dementia, and they'll manage medication, coordinate visits with health care providers, and have a nurse call system or emergency alert in every room. There's a home care option, too, if someone wants help while living at home, and transportation and scheduling appointments get handled by staff when needed. Meals come from a commercial kitchen and are home-cooked three times each day, plus snacks, and there are meal options for special diets; the dining areas invite folks to eat together if they like company. Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, and residents have private phone and cable services, with internet available, making sure people stay connected. There's also a beauty and barber shop, arts room, and walking paths, so community members can stay busy or relax as they wish, and both resident-run activities and community events happen regularly, which helps people stay social.
Physical therapy and occupational therapy are available on site for those who need them, and rooms are large enough for comfort and offer private space, with some layouts including kitchenettes and the option to furnish rooms with personal touches. The facility was built to help seniors who want a safe, caring, and social home while still holding on to as much independence and dignity as possible, and the home-like atmosphere is designed for people with different abilities, so everyone gets what they need, whether that's more assistance or just a little help here and there. Maple Woods offers dementia and hospice waivers, and every room has a call system for quick help. You'll find friendly staff who provide steady, respectful support, and because each resident's needs get looked at closely, the activities, care, and services can all be tailored, which is important for people with changing situations. All of this takes place in a quiet country setting where people can watch the woods or walk outside when the weather's nice.
