Maple Grove Lodge

My brother is now at Maple Grove Lodge. It's only like 10 minutes from me here in Louisiana. They are very helpful and they offer to get Medicaid for him so that he could live there. He didn't have enough money on his own, but they said that he would qualify for Medicaid and they did all the filings and all the paperwork for me, so that was a big relief for me. It's full-service skilled nursing. He doesn't really require skilled nursing, but they took him anyway because they had a room, and then if he declines at all, he'd be in a good place, and he wouldn't have to change. My brother has a room. It's not updated and it's older, but it's very clean. The staff are wonderful, very kind, caring and helpful. The facility itself hasn't been updated since probably the 1980s maybe. Everything is a little bit older and a little bit shabby, but it's very clean, and the staff are very, very kind. They have activities, but he does not partake. I see the schedule and every day they have some activity that you can be a part of, so that's very nice.
