      Nice facility, poor medical care

      I liked the small, homey, clean facility and many of the staff were sweet and hardworking - one caregiver was wonderful. But promised supervision and activities never happened, there's no activities director, and staff turnover/reassignment is common. My health declined after the move: oxygen tanks were left empty for weeks and they couldn't meet real medical needs. I'm grateful for kind caregivers but this place isn't suitable for residents who need substantial medical support.

      Summary review

      Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed but leans toward concern for clinical safety and programming despite positive notes about the facility's environment and some individual staff members. Many reviewers emphasize that Maple Grove at Crestview feels small, clean, and home-like, and several comments highlight dedicated, hardworking, and compassionate caregivers. A minority of reviewers are very satisfied — reporting good care and having no complaints — and one caregiver in particular received strong praise.

      Care quality and medical support are the most significant and consistent areas of concern. Multiple summaries allege that the community is unable to reliably meet medical needs for residents who require higher levels of clinical support. The most alarming report is that oxygen tanks were left empty for weeks, which constitutes a serious safety and medical oversight. Other comments state that promised supervision or levels of care were not delivered, that the community is not suitable for residents with real or complex medical needs, and that some residents' health declined after moving in. These points suggest inconsistent or inadequate clinical protocols and monitoring for residents with elevated medical requirements.

      Staffing is a mixed picture: reviewers commonly describe caregivers as hardworking and dedicated, and praise individual staff members for compassionate care. At the same time, high staff turnover and frequent reassignment of caregivers are repeatedly noted. That combination creates a pattern where the intent and attitude of staff are positive, but continuity of care and stable staffing levels appear lacking. Frequent reassignment undermines supervision and individualized care and likely contributes to the reported gaps in medical support and resident decline.

      Programming and engagement are also problematic. Several reviewers explicitly cite a lack of activities, the absence of an activities director, and announcements or plans to start activities that were not implemented. The absence of structured programming reduces social engagement and therapeutic opportunities for residents and may contribute to perceived decline in wellbeing. The recurring mention that there are 'no activities' is a clear theme and a notable deficiency relative to expectations for an assisted living environment.

      Facility and environment comments are largely positive: reviewers describe Maple Grove at Crestview as small, homey, and clean. These attributes appear to be consistent strengths and contribute to satisfaction for some residents and families. However, the positive environment does not fully offset the more serious concerns about clinical safety and programming for those who need more than basic assistance.

      Management and operations appear to have weaknesses in follow-through: reviewers mention promises made (for supervision or programming) that were not delivered and plans that were not implemented. This suggests problems with administration, planning, or resourcing. Comparisons to two other nearby communities indicate limited local alternatives: one would not accept wheelchairs and the other could not provide two-person assist, implying constrained placement options in the area and that some relatives may have chosen Maple Grove by necessity rather than preference.

      In summary, Maple Grove at Crestview offers a warm, clean, and intimate environment with caring and hardworking staff, and it meets the expectations of some families for basic assisted living. However, there are recurring and serious concerns about clinical reliability, staff continuity, and activity programming. Prospective residents or families should weigh the facility's pleasant environment and individual compassionate caregivers against reported lapses in medical care, lack of activities, and administrative follow-through. Those with significant medical needs or who require consistent clinical oversight should be cautious and verify the facility's capacity and protocols before moving in.
