Maplewood Senior Living

This was an absolutely wonderful community, and if it had been a little closer, I would have picked them. They had a warm wonderful interior that had a really great feel to it. The staff seemed really, really pleasant. They have farm to table food and beautiful plating with flavor to back it up. They are on the same street as Danbury hospital so there is a lot of traffic and there is a parking problem not enough to go around on weekends and holidays.

My mother in law is in the Alzheimers wing and they do have activities on a daily basis and bring in musicians twice a week if they want to participate but no one is forced. It was a little smaller and more manageable than the others we looked at and felt like this is the place where she would be, and it was not to overwhelming. It was more homey, and the lobby is smaller, they have a library and a place to sit with the plants that's nice. The meals seem to be very nice, the presentation they make a point of using fresh ingredients, they call it plow to plate. The chef is good, the people feel like eating. It's a big part of the day and a good time for them to socialize.

Was really beautiful but was not shown what all of my options would be. When I had picked up the admission paperwork the pricing was different, they told us that the prices whent up but it was a three thousand dollar difference, and the original quote was only three months prior. The staff was just wonderful, but it comes down to what the care costs because it's all coming out of pocket.

It's okay. My mother has Alzheimer's so nowhere is going to be perfect but she's getting good care. It's very clean and they're very friendly. The cost is very expensive, I have to say, but it's expensive everywhere. They're probably one of the more reasonable places. They do have a Tides program which is a mid level memory care program. My mom spends some time in that but mostly she's in the memory care.

My mom really liked this place but when she went to visit another, that was just the right place for her. It's nothing against Maplewood which is a beautiful place and the people were awful nice.

The thing that strikes me is the decor and furnishings and even the silverware and glassware are really beautiful but it seems like they are for the benefit of the family members and not the benefit of the residents. They have wine glasses on the table and they should realize that the residents are physically impaired. The chairs are very heavy and the couches are very low. They are not designed for the residents, they are for the family feeling good about how nice it looks. It is gorgeous, but it may speak to their philosophy of just trying to impress the family members. My brother goes to the community fairly often, and he seems to be OK with the care that mom is receiving.

Maplewood's been great, we've had no complaints and it's working out well, it's a great service. There's nothing they could really improve on, 5 would just be too much and a 4 is fitting.

My mom has been there about a week. Judging against other places I've seen, it's top notch. The activities is my least favorite thing right now. Looking at the calender it doesn't appear that there are a ton of things that are off-site, where they go places. The community is new so maybe that will come later. I think they could up the quantity of the activities. It's expensive but everything is so much money it's just hard to tell. The staff tries really hard. The food is really good. So far, I think they're doing an excellent job. The people there are really great and not just the care givers or the people you would expect it from. Everyone fromt he kitchen staff to the cleaning staff is great.

Tides and currents offer more memory care options. Seem willing to help care for dog. Across the street from B's work. Familiar neighborhood since down the hill from current apartment. Residents seem happy... Expensive.

very nice like a small hotel

Wonderful visit. Lovely place. The director was thorough, friendly and even sent me home with a homemade apple pie (from their master chef)!

Lovely facility. Program director knew all the patients by name and they seems to respond to her. All the staff was very welcoming and seemed happy to share any information with us. One down side was the advanced state most of the patients were in. I didn't notice a lot of interaction between them although they were in the same room. Didn't see a lot of staff around but there was an outing today so that may be why. A lease is involved with a 30 day notice clause (15 in case of death). rent is still expected even if there is hospitalization. Staff ratio is 1:7 in day and 1:14 at night). Great concept for dining options (visual choices) and added benefits of depth perception color choices in decor. Nice menu choices.

NICE! Great location, nice country setting. As nice as Brandywine but newer or newly remodelled.10 year old facility, remodelled 2 years ago.Willing to negotiate some on price.

I would tell others that you need to have power of attorney in order to get information about a care plan. According to my sister, the food here is great. I do think that they use more physical and interactive activities for the residents. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

This community is a bit far from us and we aren't able to visit very often. It is very expensive for what you get. My loved one is in a double room with a room, and the furniture they provided is not extravagant. This is for a nursing home.

There was a big issue in the kitchen, and they had everyone eating in their room for two months, right after that the pandemic hit. The nice thing was that all the residents were already separated. The cook has been fired, but we haven't received a good answer as to what happened in the kitchen. For the most part everything seems to be good there. The only other thing that was alarming, is that they told the resident they had COVID, but they didn't show the residents who was the patient. They just started taking temperatures. The resident was concerned because they wouldn't tell them and it bothered the resident.

The place is very beautiful, does not look like a medical facility but rather like a 5 star resort. the personnel is attentive and has the best intentions at heart but needs to be reminded sometimes of the issues brought to their attention and be resolved. The needed actions sometimes are not at quick as one would expect with so few patients on and in a lock up unit. In the beginning the communication was not adequate and I was not getting daily updates at the few first most difficult weeks. Communication improved after few weeks. Food is excellent and programming is adequate. Social workers are outsourced and not selected with specific needs of the patient. Medical service is good but not really on top of communicating with the loved once and that needs to be improved with at least weekly briefings or a reporting. The other problem is that the stage of sickness is very uneven in a lock up unit and it seems to me that the grouping of such patients within Maplewood facility should provide more accurate placing so the patients could find a support group in each other. The warmth of caretakers make up for it plus an excellent kitchen . With few improvements mentioned above Darien Maplewood could become a 5 star facility.

Maplewood at stony hill has been amazing and not just for my mom but for me as well. I have piece of mind that my mom is being taken care and is being cared for in a caring and professional way. They give mom a sense of independence and but are also there to take care of all of her needs. I am very thankful the staff and all the people that care of my mom.

I am so glad I found Maplewood of Danbury for my Aunt who was 97. The place was very clean and cheerful. There are lots of activities and my Aunt especially enjoyed the music entertainment. She had a very nice size room. I cant say enough about the staff they were wonderful and very caring. I would highly recommend Maplewood.

Maplewood at Stony Hill is a beautiful large community. It is very new and clean. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up choosing a different community because it was located closer to my home.
