Bismarck
Maple View of Bismarck was established in 2006 with the purchase of an existing memory care facility. One year later, the current facility was opened, and in 2015 a remodel/addition combined the two facilities into one larger facility. Maple View Memory Care is a member of Pride of Dakota.

Holly brings a well-rounded background in caregiving with experience in nursing home,
home health, and memory care settings. She began her career as a nursing aide and worked her way up to becoming a CNA and CMA, building her skills and passion for caregiving along the way.
“What I enjoy most about memory care is being able to bring comfort and familiarity to someone’s day, even in the smallest ways. Those moments truly matter.”
Outside of work, Holly enjoys spending time with her three sons, Riley, Landon, and Jake, along with her two golden retrievers, Ruby and Pearl. She loves making memories with family at her mom’s lake home, tending to her ever-growing plant collection, and enjoying a peaceful, low-key lifestyle.
