Maple Grove City Council to Consider Approval of Senior Care Facility
The Maple Grove City Council will consider approval of a new facility that will provide a level of senior care that’s seeing increased demand.
The proposal calls for a 21,000-square-foot single-story building with 32 private suites for elderly residents. Twenty of the suites would provide assisted living with the other 12 providing memory care. It would be located behind the Hy-Vee grocery store in the southwest portion of the city.
The Maple Grove Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval this week.
According to Jeremy Larson with Suite Living Senior Care, the group behind the project, the facility will have six staff staff members during the day and three to four during evening hours. The staff members include an activities director, a full-time chef and a registered nurse on site.
Larson told the planning commission the facility will be provide some hospice care.
“This is end-of-life care. None of our residents drive,” said Larson.
The Maple Grove City Council is expected to decide on final approval at its next meeting.
