Maplewood Senior Living

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.

This is a nice community, but it isn't working out for my brother in law. He isn't very happy here. When he first moved into the community he was in the assisted living portion, but they moved him to the other side. They also increased his rate. They also charge $1,000 for medication management. This is a good community, it looks great and modern. It is just becoming to expensive for our budget.

The Maplewood was small. It was very small compared to the other places we were considering and they didn't have the grounds or anything like that. My mom wouldn't really go out on the grounds much but she loves the views and everything so that was still a factor.

This place had a very elderly population and they seemed much more quiet and less active because of their age. There were a lot more wheelchair bound people here. It's not the kind of crowd my brother would fit in with.

The staff here is really good and very nice. The community is very clean and well kept. The only real issue I have with it is that it is so expensive, it seems like it could cost less for what they offer. The location is very convenient for our family which was a main factor when deciding.

Staff gets a 5 except the director I would give a 3. He does not do what he says he will do. My mom has been promised a new patio door since last summer as the current one does not shut without extreme force and then you can't open it without extreme force. My mom complains she rarely has a hot meal and the quality is hit and miss. She says she has some very good meals and some that are terrible As far as "farm to table" I'm not sure there is anything that meets that description. Additionally when I visit I have to pull weeds outside my mom's patio as the landscaper's apparently don't do this. The pile of debris sits for days.
