Maplewood at Newtown sits in Connecticut and serves folks in Newtown, Bethel, and Danbury, offering several choices for senior living, like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Respite Care, Skilled Nursing, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities, and the building itself just looks warm with hardwood floors, cheerful flowers out front, shady porches, cozy seats in the common rooms, and apartments that come as studios, one-bedrooms, or two-bedrooms, all with kitchenettes, granite countertops, private bathrooms that are easy to use, cable or satellite TV, and handy temperature controls as well as smart technology for safety and care, including emergency call systems and fire detection in every unit. The campus stays open every day, all day and night, with nurses and staff available 24/7, so folks can always get help with things like bathing or getting dressed, medication, or just someone to check on them, and they help with laundry, housekeeping, linen changes, and maintenance, plus there's a parking lot for visitors and staff.
People can eat together in the community dining room where they serve meals made with local ingredients, or you can book a private dining room for special events with family, and there are also pub-style spaces, casual dining, and special guest meals, plus a little Penny Candy Store for an extra treat, and chefs cook up seasonally inspired dishes every day. Residents can join in brain health games and classes at the Touch of Heart™ Brain Fitness Center, and there are always new activities from music to educational talks, movies in the theater, arts and crafts, and outings planned by the team. There's a full library with lots to read, a salon for hair or grooming, computer rooms, cable TV in shared areas, and outdoor gardens and courtyards for sitting outside or gardening, along with a well-equipped fitness center and regular wellness programs to keep everyone moving and feeling good.
There's help for those living with memory loss too, and they have specific programs for both early-stage dementia called Tides™ and another for more advanced memory loss called The Currents™, each with secure apartments and safe gardens so everyone can be comfortable and safe, and all of this is supported by smart technology so care teams can share records and ensure smooth transitions if health needs change. There's also behavioral health support, symptom checkers, care planning cards, and various connections to community resources, support groups, and events, plus they offer transportation for errands or shopping. The Maplewood campus includes a general store, club-level advanced care with more privacy, visitor access, a resident portal, and floor plan choices to match different needs and privacy levels.
Pets are welcome, and apartments have easy access for those with mobility issues, and there's a strong focus on making sure people feel at home and have a community around them, with friendly staff and personal care plans. Folks can get independent living if they don't need much help, or personalized assisted living that takes care of everyday needs, and skilled nursing and memory support are there for those who need more or different types of care, so as time goes on, there's no need to move away if care needs change. The reviews section and gallery on their website, www.maplewoodseniorliving.com/newtown, can show you more of what the day-to-day looks like, and the Life Engagement program keeps everyone busy and involved, making the place lively, safe, and comfortable for all who live there.
