Maple Farm

Maple Farm is very nice. It is country and informal. My uncle has a nice room with a view of a large grassy area. He has that at home at his kitchen, so that is nice he could look out the window. It is kept very well. He enjoys himself, and he likes the people there. He likes the nursing staff. At the beginning he didn't want to go to a home because he had gone to the hospital and needed rehab. This is the place that had an opening for rehab. After his rehab was finished, they said he needed skilled nursing care, and he couldn't be on his own anymore because he was having trouble falling all the time. He elected to stay there. It was his choice. He was very against going into a home, but since he has been in a home, he's very thankful that he is there. He likes it, and he is happy there. He is happy with the food, and he says it is good. If they make something that he doesn't care for, there is no problem because they'll come back and give him the alternative so he can still eat. He is happy. They do bingo, and they have speakers come in. They have some pets coming in. They have special dinners that they put on maybe Mexican night and things like that. They had a New Year's Eve Party and different celebrations like that. For his birthday, they made him a cake and had a little birthday celebration for him.

The building and furnishings are very worn. It is dark and dreary and all of the facilities appear shabby with peeling wallpaper, threadbare carpet, well-used dining room furniture, and furniture in the resident's rooms. Compared to other facilities it appears to be a very low cost facility, because they look like they do not invest money in keeping up the appearances.The staff are all wonderful - patient, kind and truly care about the residents. The only bad experience I have had is with the receptionist at the door when you enter and I'm sure that is just a part-time position. The woman is rude and unfriendly. The staff interacting with the residents make you forget the dreary facility because they go above and beyond all the time to make the residents comfortable and maintain a friendly atmosphere.The location is beautiful and the facility is surrounded by rolling green pastures even though it is located on a main road. The grounds are taken care of very well and when sitting in the recreation room on a bright and sunny day, the residents have a beautiful view of the countryside.
