Maple View Memory Care in Grand Forks, North Dakota, sits at 4650 S Washington St and has been open since 2009, serving the city, county, and Region IV area, while also having other locations in Bismarck, Fargo, and Minot, and is independently owned and operated with a focus on seniors who live with Alzheimer's, dementia, or other cognitive impairment, so people who come here will notice right away the smaller, more close-knit feel because there are only 36 basic care beds, giving staff and residents the chance to build stronger connections, and the staff are trained, compassionate, and on site 24 hours a day, with a higher than average staff-to-resident ratio, and there are over 40 employees, including RNs, LPNs, CNAs, full-time kitchen staff like Becky the kitchen supervisor, drivers, and others such as Barbara the activity coordinator, a Facility Director, and Aaron who's part of maintenance.
The community permits smoking and offers various senior living services: assisted living, full-time memory care, respite care, and adult day services, with residents having access to daily programs and activities suited to different stages of dementia, including stretching classes, social events, and Catholic devotional services onsite for spiritual needs. Staff at Maple View use a person-centered, failure-free approach to care, meaning they design personal care plans around each resident's abilities, preferences, and needs, so nobody feels left behind or overwhelmed, and the activity program gets residents involved in cognitive games and activities, which helps with mental stimulation, and you see staff paying close attention to everyone's health and safety because of the secure building and monitoring, which reduces confusion and prevents wandering.
The setting is quiet and "homey," with lots of natural light, soothing colors, and features you'd find in a private house-air-conditioned units, ground floor rooms, bathtubs, and common spaces like a TV lounge, beauty salon, outdoor patios, raised garden beds, and even a piano or organ for music, so people can find comfort and routine, and the staff tries to keep things helpful, joyful, and kind, which carries through in the daily housekeeping, laundry, beauty services, and meals. Nutrition's taken seriously here, so the kitchen provides restaurant-style dining with options for low-sodium, no-sugar, and guest meals that fit many dietary needs, and meal times are usually a social event, allowing people to eat together and form friendships.
Management supports teamwork and open communication, making it easier to handle any concerns, and families can reach out or schedule tours with the facility using the online contact form or by phone for questions, comments, or suggestions. The community is part of the Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) and's licensed as a Basic Care Facility, specializing in both nursing and rehabilitative care, plus hospice, ancillary healthcare, medication management, diabetic care, non-ambulatory and incontinence support, so residents and families will always know help's close by. Maple View Memory Care aims to give seniors a place where they can live as fully as possible with dignity, purpose, and a sense of belonging, with activities and services centered on what works best for seniors with memory challenges, and staff like the assistant health & wellness manager work to make sure everyone feels at home and has someone to turn to, whether it's a short stay or full-time residency, and the all-inclusive daily flat rate helps families plan without worry over unexpected costs.
