Maplewood Nursing Home is a nonprofit skilled nursing care center that's open 24 hours a day, with 150 beds for residents who need intermediate and skilled nursing care, and the staff there-folks known for being helpful, joyful, and kind-work together to keep things friendly and homelike, so anyone walking in can feel like they're in a safe, welcoming place, where you can count on 24-hour supervision, a call system in every room, and an emergency alert system in case a resident needs quick help. Maplewood provides many levels of care: independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and there's a special behavioral management unit too, offering a range of therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus long-term, palliative, and hospice care for those who need comfort at the end of life.
Residents can get help with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, moving around, and daily tasks, and meals are cooked fresh every day with dietary needs in mind-balanced and nutritious so residents stay healthy-while staff manage all the cleaning, laundry, and even dry cleaning. You'll see arts rooms, a dining room, barber and salon, a garden, walking paths, transportation and parking, plus a telephone in every room to help everyone stay in touch with loved ones. Social and activity life is lively too, with community activities, indoor and outdoor events, programs designed to engage the mind and body, and memory care that gently aims to reduce confusion or prevent wandering, earning Maplewood some awards for their activity programs, friendliness, and support.
Some folks live in cozy furnished spaces, others in residential care homes with live-in caregivers to help them with dressing, bathing, and whatever is needed, always with the goal of keeping life feeling as much like home as possible and helping each person maintain dignity and purpose. Nursing care is always there, with licensed professional staff and the support of the Maplewood Auxiliary Association, a group that works through fundraising to improve daily life for residents. The whole place runs with a clear mission to meet the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of everyone in their care, offering individual support, holistic attention, and specialized programs to keep residents engaged and supported whether they're active and living independently or need more steady help, with plenty of social and recreational activities to brighten the days, and a certain sense of dignity and care that seems to shape everything at Maplewood, which right now has a user rating of 4.1 out of 14 reviews and keeps an active Facebook page for the community.
