Maplewood Senior Living

In the memory care program, they work really hard to engage the residents and come up with activities for them. During the last year with covid, they have bent over backwards to allow family in when it is safe. They have been really good about communication and updating families. They also have a big outdoor fireplace, so we can meet mom outside to sit out there. They are also very good with using technology, they took us on a virtual tour so we could see it the best we could. It has been a good experience so far and I would recommend them.

My mom has been a resident at Maplewood Stony hill for almost 4ys, and we could not be happier. The entire staff from the minute you walk in the door is friendly and informative. Communication is so important and I never hesitate to address any concerns knowing I will receive a quick response and resolve. The nursing staff is wonderful, always gentle and calm. The CNA's and staff that have worked with my mom treat her with respect and love. During this crazy year of dealing with Covid-19, it's hard to think of your loved one, especially with memory care issues, having to deal with not seeing family. Despite the needed diligence of strict restrictions and protocol, the staff remain caring and loving keeping my mom and others feeling safe and comfortable. Maplewood at Stony hill has brought much comfort and peace to our family knowing that she is in a beautiful, clean safe, loving, environment.

Maplewood at Newtown is WONDERFUL. They are the best and you cannot find any better. I am a nurse practitioner and my husband is a doctor and we would highly recommend them to others who are looking.

After looking at several other options, we selected Maplewood at Stony Hill for my mother because of the beautiful community, the incredible food offering, the fact that the entire facility is dedicated to memory care, and mostly because of the people there. Every time I speak with my mother she tells me "how nice everyone is" and I agree. My mother is a watercolor artist who used to paint every day. One day five years ago, she stopped painting. While I tried over an extended period of time, I could not get her to paint again. The dedicated staff at Maplewood not only got her to paint again, they got my mother to give painting lessons to her friends there! I would never have been able to give my mother such high quality care, even with full-time help, if she were still at home, especially during the pandemic. From on-site doctor's visits, dentist appointments, salon visits and in-apartment physical therapy sessions, my mother is getting complete and personal care by some of the most wonderful, dedicated, professional, and well trained people I have ever met. The Associates at Maplewood at Stony Hill have gone to great lengths to get to know my mother personally in order to provide her the best care possible.

Our experience has been fantastic, they have truly been amazing. We have nothing but the best to say about them, they contact us anytime with any concerns. Being in a health care provided and working in long term care facilities. They treat their residents with respect and talk eye to eye to them. They are good with proactively taking her to the doctor and not waiting for accidents to happen. The director all the way to the maintenance team are all pitching in helping each other, they all work as a team. We are so impressed with how well the treat each other. They were taking precautions immediately back in March and did not get their first positive covid test until November, which was brought in from someone on the outside. I would recommend this place to anyone, this really is the best place possible.

My mom moved into maplewood almost 2 years ago. It was the best move we could have ever made for her and all of us. We have such peace of mind knowing she is there. Not only is it beautiful, but the people that work there are such special people. We are so grateful for the care and compassion that the staff at Maplewood have for our mother and our entire family.

Maplewood at Brewster has been amazing when it came to Assisted Living and then Memory Care for my mother. Maplewood is family and the staff are all outstanding! My mother has been well cared for and kept safe during the darkest of times this past year. I have had total faith in their care, compassion, love and support for her. She has been kept busy with lots of wonderful activities, cared for by the best and fed with delicious and nutritious meals. I really couldn't ask for more and I will be forever thankful and grateful to the staff at Maplewood of Brewster.

The community does a great job and the staff is very busy. What they have promised to us they have delivered. The community is great at communicating and are always quick to respond. I have peace of mind with my aunt being there. I would definitely recommend this community

My father has been a resident at Maplewood at Stony Hill for the past approximate 2 and 1/2 years. I can't say enough good things about the facility. The staff is caring, loving, and attentive. They treat my father as if he was their loved one. And, the staff communicates with me on a regular basis with respect to my father. The staff not only made my father's adjustment to the facility seamless, they continue to adjust to his needs, as both his memory loss gets worse and his physical needs become greater. I go to sleep each night knowing that my father's needs will be met. I am so happy with the decision I made.

My husband was just discharged from Maplewood after a 6 week stay recuperating from hip surgery. We were very impressed with the staff and facility. The rooms are bright and airy and my husband was able to walk the halls numerous times a day accelerating his recovery. Under difficult conditions of the Covid Virus they did a very good job during lockdown. When it was safe to congregate again, they provided numerous social activities during the day and movies at night. There is a small gym for working out. The dining room, “pub” and community rooms were beautifully decorated and always spotlessly clean. Weather permitting, one can walk in a lovely garden space. The Darien Maplewood is located within a few miles of two excellent hospitals, Norwalk and Stamford, certainly a great advantage. We would definitely recommend Maplewood if you or your loved one needs round the clock care in a lovely facility.

They do try to do farm to table meals here at Maplewood, they have residents growing and picking the herbs outside for the meals. They have a big open window and if someone does not want to sit at a table they can sit at that counter and watch the food being prepared. They have been great about social distancing in the dining room so that residents are still able to eat together. I have gotten the activities calendar and they always have something going on. They do things 7 days a week rather than 5 like some other places. I would tell others that communication has been GREAT. They call us, email us, we can face time. It is all one one floor so we have been able to also visit through the window. They make a big effort to keep us informed. Overall, I would highly recommend. I am very happy with our choice.

I am a wife of a resident in maplewood Darien. I attended vaccine clinic on the [date removed] . I was incredibly impressed by the organization of the event . The staff’s roles in the process were clearly defined and the operation run smoothly and efficiently . Congratulations to the hard working staff and staff from higher management who arrived from headquarters and elsewhere to support the process. Residents’ and caretakers confidence increased during the process and I am sure their experience will be helpful for residents in other Maplewoods facilities and their families ito make a decision to vaccinate . With great appreciation for the hard work of the staff. Best wishes to all.

While she was here, we were very pleased with this facility. The staff members here were wonderful to our whole family they were all very friendly and helpful. They did have a lot of activities to offer, but she did not participate in many. My husband and I went almost everyday to have lunch with her and the food here was amazing, they were chef prepared meals. The only thing that upset me was that once the virus started, it was closed down so I could not be with my mom when she passed away. I would highly recommend Maplewood at Twinsburg to anybody and I already have. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

I am writing this letter to thank you very much for the concern and attention shown to me during my search for an assisted living facility for my aunt, [name removed]. I also want you to know what a pleasant experience I have had discovering the Maplewood at Mill Hill residence in West Yarmouth! During my search, I have engaged many of the trusted people in my life for advice: friends, neighbors, caregivers, and anyone else who seemed knowledgeable about finding an appropriate assisted living facility for [name removed]. My search spanned from Cape Cod to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, and everywhere in-between; little did I know, when I started looking, how complicated and elusive a task it would prove! After all, how does one find that perfect fit for a bright, healthy and lively ninety-six-year-old woman needing to leave her large, upscale condominium in Yarmouth Port? How does one accommodate the needs of a loved-one who has been a single, independent woman for the vast majority of her life; who succeeded as a teacher in the New York Public School System over a thirty year career; who earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in her area of expertise; and who is generally the sweetest person you would ever meet, but who now finds herself afflicted with a debilitating case of short term memory loss? I have wrestled with this question over the weeks and months of my search: how do I accommodate my aunt’s current needs in a way that respects the warm and impressive life she has lived thus far? Aunt [name removed] memory lapses began three years ago. Soon thereafter it became evident that she would need to accept help with some of her daily functions, and that she would have to give up driving, a capability from which she’d always drawn a great deal of pride, and which enabled so much of her independent lifestyle. This was the inevitable change that signaled a new phase of [name removed] life, and new routines; she could no longer drive to perform her own grocery-shopping, or attend church, or visit with friends, or even enjoy a quick dash to the beach on a quiet evening without the assistance of caregivers to help her maintain her quality of life. This newfound dependence on caregivers stood in stark contrast to the independence and self-sufficiency that characterized [name removed] entire adult life! With a sense of inevitability, I began the search for a facility that could meet [name removed] longer-term needs. [name removed] and I visited several beautiful facilities in the Laconia, NH area – I initially thought that it might be best for [name removed] to move closer to my home, to a place where I could see her with greater frequency and where I could respond quickly if there were ever an emergency. We visited top-of-the-line facilities together, several with beautiful lake views in the Meredith and Laconia areas. Each of these facilities was excellent in one way or another, but none were able to satisfy [name removed] number one criteria. [name removed] insisted that her new home be directly on Cape Cod, or “very near it!” Uncertain of how to proceed I changed my strategy. I called “A Place for Mom,” and I enlisted my son, David, to look around the Duxbury, MA area and perhaps solicit advice from caregivers in his town. My efforts finally paid off, as Mill Hill in West Yarmouth was suggested as one of the best assisted living facilities on Cape Cod by an acquaintance referred to my son by a friend! I began speaking with [name removed] who is the regional director of Sales with Mill Hill, and I immediately felt that this was a real possibility. [name removed] explained in detail what [name removed] could expect in her daily life at Mill Hill, and what her unit accommodations would be like. [name removed] staff was very patient and assisted me with the large amount of paperwork required to bring [name removed] in. After the initial application was complete, I connected with [name removed], the Executive Director of Mill Hill who was equally helpful in seeing that [name removed] needs were met. It has been almost six months since Nancy became a resident at Mill Hill, and things couldn't be better! She is thriving and it is easy to see that she has grown to not only accept this big change, but that she is actually enjoying her surroundings. One of the big issues she had was with the units she toured at other facilities…all nice, but small compared to her condo. This was a hard change for her. But [name removed] and the staff were incredible in setting up her unit, making her room into an open and spacious place. [name removed] was able to bring some important furniture from home, including her favorite living room chair where she watches tv and reads. She has her drop leaf dining table next to a window where she can see beyond to people walking and cars going by, and a small refrigerator for her goodies. Her bathroom is well appointed and very handicap proof. It really is a perfect unit for her! I feel a great piece of mind knowing that the leadership and staff at Mill Hill are caring for [name removed]. And maybe most importantly, [name removed] is still in her beloved Yarmouth! Since [name removed] moved into Mill Hill, the world has changed due to the pandemic. I have visited [name removed] twice since the advent of covid19. Each visit was wonderful. I felt safe and the staff was very careful taking precautions to protect everyone, resident, visitors and staff alike, from the coronavirus. Thank You Mill Hill!

We chose Maplewood at Strawberry Hill because of the location and the cleanliness of the facility when you walk in. The room sizes here were great, they have a nice kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom. We did eat here a couple of times and the food was great, they had a menu with choices. The best part about this community is the staff members. I would recommend.

I have been familiar with this building since it was built. Maplewood of Chardon has a great home like atmosphere feel to it. Some of the original staff are still on board. I knew this was the place I wanted my mom to be. May 2019 I moved my 90 year old mom from Florida to Maplewood of Chardon. [name removed] was very helpful working with the facility in Florida to make this move successful. The option was to take the first room available between Currents & Tides Memory Care. At the time I would have thought that Currents would be the appropriate placement for mom, but Tides was the first room available so we took it. When mom came in she needed 2 person assist for transferring and short distance ambulation, using a wheel chair the rest of the time. Mom needed much assistance with meal time, needing spoon fed and cuing during meals. The staff was and continues to be very welcoming as well as truly caring and loving. They continue to always be helpful with a smile on their face. Staff is very knowledgeable in elder and dementia care. As soon as mom moved in we started her on Physical Therapy to get her strength back in hopes of also getting some ambulation back. Between the Physical Therapy and all the activities she was involved in, along with the caring competent staff at Maplewood it wasn't long before mom rallied. She is currently ambulating all over Tides with her walker, participating and very engaged in all the activities. She is also feeding herself fine. Luckily Tides was the first room available for her at the time as she has just blossomed on that unit. It is comforting to know she is in good hands, so I can sleep at night. Even through these Covid times I am confident that she is safe and happy with the dedicated staff watching over her. I would highly recommend Maplewood in Chardon for your loved on and also a great place for employment.

Toured several of these properties as a healthcare professional and found them to be one of the classiest facilities. The staff are amazing.

Beautiful community inside and out, the care is excellent and the staff are really nice.

My mom, who is 97 years old, has been at Maplewood for several years and is very content there. The staff knows her likes and dislikes and always honor her wishes. The executive director and her team are very dedicated and caring people. Those values filter down to all employees in every position and that’s why Maplewood is my mom’s home sweet home.

I had a visit with a friend and we were outside. My friend said she loved the great care she received and I observed first hand the professional yet loving attention she received from the staff. My friend said she feels safe and happy.
