But then, I visited some places that were even more expensive, and I don't know that they would provide that much more than what Maple Glen is providing. Every day they do the floor, her bed is always clean, and she is always clean. They're not very fancy looking, but they are very caring of her, and they do a very good job with her. Now, she seems to have a very good appetite, so she eats all the food that they give her. In the beginning, she was losing weight and they were very concerned about that, so they did all sorts of things to try to get her to eat and get her more involved. They are very cognizant of when my mom eats and when she doesn't eat. I'm very happy about the care that she is receiving there. She has worked with a physical therapist and with a speech pathologist. They give me some information about how she was doing. They also know me when I come in and say hello. It doesn't have a great appearance, but the care is excellent, and that's what I was looking for. She said it was too plain, and tired of it easily. My client's most resonating comment was that about the food. I visited the facility to see a client of mine for the mental health agency at which I am currently employed. The facility was a bit dreary looking for my taste (a more homey inviting is desired for such a long-term care facility in order to make residents feel at home), and often and a pungent odor. I was happy to see that Maple Glen offered a calendar full of events to keep the seniors entertained, including crafts, movies, and even church services for those who wished to attend. However, of all the staff I came into contact with, all of them were extremely personable and showed a genuine interest in the well being of the residents. There have been times when we have waited 10-15 minutes for a scheduled physical therapy appointment.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident ![]() The activities director comes in and visits her and will sit with her and have her color and things like that. But they do keep her involved like they move her wheelchair from place to place, and she is out in the halls, and she is talking to people. She has Alzheimer's, and she doesn't pay attention to things, so that is not a huge part of her day. My mom is not able to do a lot of activities. ![]()
