We firmly believe that living with memory loss shouldn’t detract from living well. Maplewood Senior Living Communities provide residents living with Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia the evidence-based support they need while giving their families the peace of mind they deserve.
Here, comfort and consistency are key. We assign a team to the same group of residents to foster belonging and stability. These familiar connections allow our staff to quickly recognize any changes that might be taking place and provide the necessary support. Along with a flexible daily schedule full of stimulating programs, exercise, music, and worship services, your loved ones can be as active or engaged as they like, free to live with joy in each moment.
Using evidence-based design, our dining room sparks social connections and creates an indulgent, multisensory experience. Our open kitchen concept allows aromas to boost moods and tantalize residents’ tastebuds well before their plate arrives. Our menus change frequently and feature locally-inspired, seasonal dishes that are fresh, nutritious, and exceptionally flavorful. We’ve thought of everything — down to the tableware and linens that are purposefully white to enhance depth perception. For those looking for familiar flavors, our chefs are always happy to whip up your loved one’s favorite dishes.
