Maplewood Senior Living

Maplewood at Danbury was horrible. All they do is drug up their residents with sedatives instead of helping them live a happy life. when I continuously questioned the doctors there, they became agitated and pretended my loved one was in a bad mental state. as soon as my loved one was removed from their facility, all psychotropic drugs were discontinued and he was, and continues to be fine! I make sure I tell people NOT to take their loved one to Maplewood at danbury. Luckily, I work in retail so I speak with a lot of people.

The previous review captured my every thought. Eye rolling on every issue. Professionalism is lacking. Activities consist of television every evening. Very sad. Our loved ones deserve love and care. This place is all about profit.

The worst decision we have ever made was to move our Mom into the Currents neighborhood at Maplewood at Brewster. In four short months Mom became too weak to walk and eat. From Maplewood she went into rehab to try to get strong once again with only minor success. Mom is now able to lift her head up off of her chest, she is smiling more and even laughing, but she will probably never walk again. Maplewood's recommendation to put Mom on Trazodone for safety reasons started her downfall. She went from being one of the most upbeat/popular residents at her former assisted living residence to a shell of a person that couldn't even lift her head up to communicate or to eat. She was walking fine (slow but steady) when she moved in back in February, now she is wheelchair bound. Mom started fainting fairly often while under Maplewood's care and wound up in the hospital multiple times. Since we moved Mom out of Maplewood this past June she has not had one fainting/syncope episode. It seems that the management at Maplewood wants their Currents residents to be the same-- knocked out, sleepy, unresponsive, and in other words easy to manage. They also seem to count on families being uninvolved in their loved one's care. They have lied to us on numerous occasions, tried to overcharge us, and often would not respond to emails. If you sign a contract with Maplewood it means nothing. I was told that the figures on our signed contract were wrong when we had a dispute over the amount of money charged to us. Try to look beyond the beautiful building and grounds; all is not as it appears. We hope that with this review we will save others from the heartache that we have gone through. If only we had it to do over again.

This is NOT AN ALZHEIMERS FACILITY. It is Independent Living AT BEST. There is no follow through on individual care. Staff "AIDS" are lacking in experience and training. There is only ONE nurse in the building only at given times. No follow through on resident issues. Services provided is a huge "grey area".

Staff is not very helpful and have been know to be sneaky and untrustworthy. I would highly recommend not putting a partner at this facility.
