Maplewood Senior Living

My sister & I toured Maplewood with the thought of moving our mother from Baton Rouge. We were very impressed and sure my mother would be well cared for there. We loved it; beautiful inside and out. Staff seems very caring. I would recommend in a heartbeat.

Our loved one is extremely happy here. Liz was very helpful, and seems to be a caring, sensible person. They have continuous care here, you can stay to the end of life. They have been extremely helpful. He has made new friends, they were able let him keep his dog. There is a place to go for a walk nearby without being on the main street. The food is pretty good. It's a very good fit. There is a good church nearby, within walking distance. I loved the greenery and the trees all around too, it didn't look like a ten story office building.

My loved one hasn't moved in quite yet, but after all of my tours and the work I've done with the staff I've had nothing but good experiences with Maplewood! The facility itself is well kept, clean, and very nice looking. The staff, from the caregivers to the administration, have all been very friendly and easy to work with.

They could do a little more with the variety, of the activities. The food would get a 4, sometimes things aren't always hot. There is a new chef so that may improve. They have been very efficient, I really have no complaints. I like the floorplan it's all one level and the circle design is nice. In the center they have a very nice garden area that is outdoors and very large. All the rooms have a window that looks to the outside. It's nice too that the inside looks like the outside with porches in front of every door. Some rooms that open outside have a patio, and everyroom has a private bedroom and bath with a kitchenette/living area.

This was the second facility we tried for my Mom who has dementia. They were incredibly supportive in a very difficult situation. Mom has been there for five weeks now and while the first two weeks were difficult (not due to the facility, but to Mom's challenges) she has settled in and is doing incredibly well. Her anxiety has diminished dramatically and she seems to be having a much better quality of life than she was when living alone.

They are very clean and they are friendly. The food is good but I find when I go to see my dad it is a little sparse, and even some of the other residents complain, that there is not quite enough. I find that it is very bland, maybe it's fine for the other people there but I don't think it's enough for him. I don't think it has anything to do with the staff or the cook, maybe it's just the way the food needs to be managed. I think they serve him very nice, and they are friendly and always try to help them. They do have a lot of activities. I wish dad would participate more. They are very plush and new, colorful and is very well designed with everything on one floor. No question about it, the care is definitely there!

Absolutely lovely community. Very bright, very welcoming. Care staff is very upbeat, residents seemed happy and very social. Love the farm to table food concept and what I tasted was excellent. Apartments were the nicest I have seen of all the assisted living communities I have toured. If this were in Putnam or Dutchess we would have already booked Mom's arrival. Unfortunately, it turns out to be a 75 minute drive (without traffic) for my brother, and it's in the opposite direction from where he works/lives. I would highly recommend anyone considering assisted living communities in the Danbury area put Maplewood on their list.

Visited and was very impressed by this facility.

I love living in this lovely, quiet, bright facility. The entire staff is dedicated to our comfort & well-being. Medical staff is very professional. Overall the atmosphere is caring and prompt to meet residents needs; efficient & well-run facility. Minuses - food could be fresher, more seasoning and varied.

My review: 1. This is a small community of seniors living with a semblance of respect and dignity. 2. Various daily activities to interest and occupy time meaningfully. 3.

This is a better community than most. The staff and community itself makes it better in my opinion. The food is very good, and they do a nice job. Games, outings around town, gardening, movies, and more are activities for the residents to choose from.

I would recommend Maplewood. As far as I can tell, it's one of the best assisited living places around, and that's why we selected it. I like the atmosphere and the location. It's close for us to come visit. I think the staff is doing a good job, and they're very friendly. They seem to bring people out and bring them together for activities quite a lot, although my loved one hasn't been able to participate much due to a disability. The food seems to be pretty good, and they offer a variety to choose from.

When making the difficult decision about the best place for your loved one, Maplewood makes it easier. Although the decor, food and amenities are all wonderful, the staff is what makes the difference.

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.
