I visited my mother last week on Thursday at Maple Heights. I met a new CNA, Daspin. She was compassionate and very helpful. She did little special things like adjust my mother’s pillow after laying down! She is very observant in her care and recognized that another product worked better for mom.

This place is another example of how small towns take care of each other. I’m glad my grandma didn’t have to go to Atchison or somewhere far from us and we can visit often. The staff is always so nice and helpful and really do a wonderful job taking care of the seniors who live there.

Went to visit extended family, found the place very well kept. Staff was friendly. The family members of Maple Heights (residents) all seemed happy and well cared for. This is a place I would look to put my family member or myself.
