Darien Dementia Care
A Personal Passion for Memory Care
Maplewood at Darien is dedicated to the care and well-being of our residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Our staff is trained to communicate positively with those with memory impairment.
Inspired by this belief, our emotion-based philosophy of care, HEART™ (Humor, Empathy, Autonomy, Respect/Reaching out to others, and Trust and Triumph), helps to engage residents so they may continue to enjoy life to their maximum potential. Please take a few minutes to view our memory care brochure.
