Assisted Living Reviews for Maidencreek Place

January 23, 2016

I visited this facility

Maidencreek seemed okay, but I did not like it as well as the other place. I saw one room, and it was very nice. The place seemed clean. When I went to the dining room, I only saw 3 men, and all the rest were women. So, I couldn’t picture my husband sitting there.

I visited this facility

I really liked it. It was a big place. I looked at the menu; they have good meals. The price is good. Everybody was friendly. They had a lot of activities. They had bingo, and then they went out on trips. They were nice-sized rooms. They have a little refrigerator and a microwave in this room. You can take your own furniture in.

We think it is important to engage the resident as a whole person and utilize creative expressions such as art and music, cognitive stimulation, social gatherings, and spiritual activities. We utilize person-centered care to engage residents in reminiscing, including personalized stations and kits that focus on resident occupation, hobbies, and interests. See our activities calendar to learn more.
