Maplewood Senior Living

I have been a nurse for the last 30 years and the last eight as a nurse for Maplewood of Chardon. While there I have witnessed a level of care, compassion, and respect for residents, that I had not seen at any other of my places of employment. In April of 2019 my mother who was 88 years old fell at home and spent several days in the hospital followed by a stay in a rehab unit. When mom told us that it was time to consider Assisted Living. We considered several other facilities closer to home but, none that compared to Maplewood at Chardon. In May of 2019 she moved in to Maplewood at Chardon and could not be happier. My wife and I can both attest to a vast improvement in her overall health because of the social life, exercise, entertainment, and friendships she has made at Maplewood.

My father has resided at Maplewood for 1-1/2 years. He has a very comfortable handicapped equipped apartment with a full kitchen. Maplewood offers a variety of activities for it's residents. The activities director and assistant work very hard to provide a range of engaging activities for the residents, including, but not limited to, concerts, discussion groups, and movies. Additionally, my father particularly enjoys working daily with the physical therapist in both balance classes and one on one strength training. There are a number of comfortable gathering spaces located through-out the residence. During the warmer months the residents are able to enjoy a very spacious and nicely furnished terrace. Throughout the ongoing Covid pandemic the staff, as well as the corporate offices, have worked tirelessly to keep everyone healthy and engaged. In particular I can't thank them enough for cheerfully helping my father to become comfortable with zoom. Their help enabled us to regularly "see" one another during an especially difficult time. The staff at Maplewood are all caring and kind, working daily to create and maintain a positive and engaging environment for the residents.

I must say that I am enjoying my home here at Maplewood at Darien. Although this year had been difficult with Covid , the entire staff is working hard to keep the residents safe and keep the fun going. My friends and I enjoy the happy hour and dancing along with the staff in the evening. We still are able to find some level of normalcy in a challenging time .

I have been living at the Maplewood Darien for the past 1 year and I must say that I really enjoy the community. It was the right choice for me. This year had been especially tough with Covid but the entire staff had been working hard to keep everyone safe and still able to have some normalcy . I appreciate all that they do .

My father has had steady memory decline for the past 10 years. After my mother died, he needed more engagement, cueing, and medical management than could be provided outside a congregate setting. Initially he was in another local facility that met none of those needs. As my mother's decline was quick, we scrambled to secure a suitable facility. Our initial visit to the facility was on a Sunday, where we found Maplewood residents out of their rooms, engaged in activities and interacting with one another. All other facilities we visited that day could only be described as "warehousing." We were aware of Maplewood's favorable reputation, as I am familiar with a research project which was conducted there. After my father's admission, he has had a higher level of functioning than in his preceding two years. The food is excellent in comparison to other facilities. Staff has been reasonably responsive to any concerns, and they have been addressed. My father reports he feels safe and the staff treat him well. My father has been a resident of Maplewood at Twinsburg for over two years now and it is hoped that he will reside there for many more years to come.

I have lived at Maplewood for over two years. I was promoted from a long term care facility (AKA nursing home). I hope to live here the rest of my life, never having to return to a nursing home. I’m 81 years old, living with a progressive neurological disease which weakens my body. Maplewood is a perfect fit for me in many ways. First, It enables me to age in place. Even if I require more assistance in the future, I will be able to remain in my apartment. Second, due to the fantastic fitness director here and her land and water programs, I have arrested my physical decline while here. Third, socialization and intellectual stimulation are important to me. Maplewood offers many opportunities for both. Besides my fellow residents, I have friends among the caring, competent and friendly staff. The 24/7 nursing support alleviates my anxiety. Fourth, I love my spacious, wheelchair friendly apartment. I appreciate that nearby apartments are occupied by both independent residents and those needing some physical help. In fact, couples with a great difference in needs can even occupy the same apartment.

Impressed with the community - boutique style and upscale community -right at the heart of Darien . Staff is friendly and helpful even when it if it was a last minute request . Good communication and I happy to have my aunt here.

Wonderful caring staff, beautiful furnishing, feels like 5 star hotel. Speedy action response, Easy access to Manhattan. just an hour train ride from Grand Central and 10 min walk, No car needed. Good food too. The new Stanford hospital is nearby. Transportation provided by the facility free of charge to local doctors when and if needed. There are good doctors around the area in case special doctor visits are required. Hairdresser is available inside the facility. Dentist visits periodically to provide service on site. PT and OT available upon request. Private nurses extra but good service is available when and if needed. We are very pleased with the choice of the facility

I have been living in this community since May 2018 - i have seen many changes throughout the years - some are good , some not so good. The renovation is nice but it really doesn't match the needs and resident's culture. Food is good, activities and concierge team are very helpful - Excellent staff overall - Caring and detailed oriented . I like my home here at Maplewood at Darien

Maplewood at Weston has worked hard to continually improve their services throughout the 4 years my Dad has been a resident. The staff is keenly aware of the intellectual interests and needs of their elderly population and programming reflects their understanding. In addition, meals are nutritious and modern, which makes meal time visits enjoyable for family members in an inviting dining room setting. During the ongoing pandemic, the corporate offices and local staff worked tirelessly to keep residents healthy. I can't thank them all enough for their efforts; from months of room service meals to multiple temperature checks per day while continually trying to keep residents socially engaged in small groups and individually, the staff truly outdid themselves.

The facility itself is new , modern , Up to date and clean. They have a friendly and caring team . Comparable pricing to the area .

My mother has lived at Maplewood at Weston for nearly 10 years and loves the caring staff and friendly community. The COVID pandemic proved to be the ultimate test of long-term care facilities, and Maplewood at Weston has come out on top! The kind and dedicated staff at have done an amazing job of protecting residents while also tending to their needs during this difficult time. We offered to bring my mother home to stay with us many times, but she felt very safe and cared for, and she wanted to stay at Maplewood. Our family has been very impressed!

We moved our Dad to Maplewood At Weston from their sister location on the Cape. Other than the ambience of this beautiful facility, Maplewood at Weston has so much more to offer. We were worried about the transition from one facility to another, but were assured that everything would go smoothly, as it did! I have never been met with a more comforting group of people. The staff is professional, inviting, and always available to help in any way possible. Our Dad loves the friendly faces that greet him everyday, and that go over and above to ensure that he gets the care he needs on a daily basis. Whether it be the cleaning staff, the person at the front desk that reminds him to pick up his daily paper, or the nursing staff that take the extra time to reach out to him, we feel confident knowing that he is well cared for and happy in his new home.

Maplewood was such a great choice for my Mom transitioning from her home. The place has the feeling of a 5 star hotel but with warmth and wonderful people to help in the transition. i cannot review this without mentioning the young man that had been on the front desk,"[name removed]" he has moved on to pursue a new career ..Good Luck [name removed]..you will be missed, that being said all the help is great..

My mom has been a resident at Maplewood at Danbury for the past 18 months. My impression of Maplewood from my first visit was very positive. My impressions turned out to be correct. My interactions with all of the staff members, including the office, nurses, nursing aids, and cleaning staff, are favorable. My mom at 91 years young is leading a comfortable life with plenty of activity, excellent food, and quality care. I am 100% confident that she is getting the best care available. There is not much more I can say and my family and I feel very fortunate that we found Maplewood at Danbury.

My mother has been a resident at Maplewood Twinsburg for the last year and a half due to dementia- it's been heartbreaking to see her condition deteriorate over the years, but I'm very appreciative that there are places with good people like at Maplewood to care for her. Like many, I had no real experience with caring for someone with memory loss, and from my first visit, the people and facilities at Maplewood have been great. From helping us to transition my mom from her home, letting me know what behaviors to expect as she went from a medium stage to later stages of the disease, and just being there when I have questions, the director [name removed] and the staff are terrific. Visitors come and go all during the day, so you can easily assess the level of care. It's an extremely difficult job, with residents in all kinds of stages, and all places like this have turnover. The food is very good, and the people there go out of their way to accommodate my mother's eating habits. She has reached the point of becoming difficult to take care of, but the staff always seem kind to her, and in good humor for what they deal with on a day to day basis. The facility itself is first rate, very clean, with lots of activities for residents in the earlier stages of care.

Given the difficulty of the job, I think The Maplewood does darn well. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The building is spacious and elegant, and the rooms are homey. My mother suffered from dementia and paranoia. She was sometimes very difficult. In spite of her "escapades," the staff was kind and seemed to genuinely care. The Maplewood's good reputation is well-deserved. The employees are good people. I don't know what I would have done without them.

We moved Dad to Maplewood at Twinsburg nearly a year ago. His dementia has progressed and for his safety he was unable to be alone. A respite stay progressed to accommodating him to living at Maplewood. Their focus on programs for dementia care has truly allowed Dad to adjust and feel comfortable. I am amazed at how quickly he adapted to his surroundings and fully participated in daily programs with enthusiasm. The staff is very caring and Dad so often tells me how genuine they are in talking with him and helping with his needs. Being familiar with various facilities in the area as other family required varying levels of care previously, Maplewood at Twinsburg was a great choice for Dad. At times some issues have surfaced regarding levels of care needed or medication adjustments but timely communications with staff have allowed some resolution. Overall this facility is top notch and Dad is thriving!

An ad in the local paper brought me to Maplewood for a seminar on Dementia. I was totally amazed by the well designed, lovely, yet professional air of the place. The large private apartments, the caring and highly trained staff and the inviting dining room (with a private chef to prepare the meals) would make my Dad feel special every day. I then investigated five other communities. Maplewood surpassed them by far in every aspect. Dad lived here for 10 months before passing. He was kept clean, well dressed, and lovingly cared for. He enjoyed participating with the other residents in games and entertainment. We could take him out for lunch or occasionally bring dinner and enjoy a private party in the "Family" dining room. I cannot give enough thanks to the entire staff for making Dad's last few months so special. This is where I would want to live if and when the need arises.

The staff did everything possible to make the transition possible. They are always there to help resident & family adjust to the new situation. The care giving staff treated Mom as if she was one of their own family.
