Maple Farm generally receives high praise for its clean environment and compassionate, attentive nursing staff who are often described as a 'Godsend' by families. However, there are serious concerns regarding administrative responsiveness, meal timing, and lapses in communication during critical end-of-life situations. Families should weigh the reported high quality of daily care against these significant operational and communication gaps.

Key Review Excerpts

The patient to staff ratio at this facility is fairly decent, which is hard to say about most facilities. The rooms are an dream...as each resident has a huge room to themselves...which allows to a very peaceful stay and no shared behaviors.

Long-term resident's family · 2022★★★★★

My sister needed respite care after a trauma. The staff is fantastic caring and listen to the families wants and worries.

Respite care family member · 2023★★★★★

My mom was put on hospice and they reassured me they would notify me when she was passing. That did not happen and my mom died alone in her room.
