If you are considering this facility, we strongly recommend conducting an unannounced visit to observe staff responsiveness and cleanliness, and specifically asking about their protocols for handling patient falls and call light monitoring.

Key Review Excerpts

The CNAs, which have the most difficult tasks, are caring and careful with Mark. The physical therapists are particularly helpful and thoughtful, while the administrative staff is responsive and professional.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

I smoke outside and they leave the windows open and some man fell out of his bed and was screaming for help for 20 minutes the nurse came and he said I fell out of my bed and she literally yelled AGAIN??

Neighbor · 2024☆☆☆☆

My Mom stayed at Mapleton for skilled nursing after her hospital visit. She was there about ten days in December 2023. She said that everyone who worked there was wonderful, the nurses were terrific, the food was plentiful, the exercise classes were good.
