Maple Crest Senior Living Village sits about 1.15 miles from Bluffton Hospital on an 18-acre campus, which makes it easy for folks to get to nearby stores, healthcare, and churches, and people seem to like the open space because there are walking paths, gardens, a fishing pond, and places to sit outside, so you can get some fresh air or watch the birds if you want. The place has 30 senior housing units and offers both independent living and assisted living, with different floor plan options like the Villa Homes with two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an attached garage or the apartments with full kitchens or kitchenettes, furnished rooms, and wheelchair accessible showers. Staff are always there 24 hours a day, and Maple Crest keeps a 24-hour emergency call system just in case, plus there's weekly housekeeping and laundry, and they'll help you move in if you need it.
Assisted living at Maple Crest means folks who need extra help with things like bathing, dressing, or medication can get that, while still living mostly independent, and they do offer three main levels of care. Nurses provide diabetes care, help with incontinence, and mental wellness programs, and when somebody needs extra help, the staff steps in for daily chores like food prep, showering, or taking medicine. For those who need memory care, there are services designed for people with dementia, with safe spaces to reduce confusion or wandering. People who want to stay sometimes, rather than move in forever, can use respite or short-term stays, and if nursing care is needed down the line, residents get priority admission to the Mennonite Memorial Home next door, with up to 10 days of temporary nursing care each year at no extra charge.
Meals are cooked by chefs and planned for good nutrition, with restaurant-style dining all day and special diets for people with diabetes or allergies, and people can eat in the dining room, their own apartment, or even get room service. Maple Crest is pet friendly, so cats and dogs are welcome, and everyone gets Wi-Fi and telephone access in the rooms, with utilities included except for the phone bill.
There's always something happening-resident-run events, art or devotional classes on and off site, daily activities, movie nights, educational speakers, plus a full-time activities coordinator who puts together social programs. The community has an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a small library, a fitness center, a woodworking shop, a salon, and spaces for movies or group gatherings. There's also a garden, bike paths, and community walking trails outside.
Maple Crest takes both residency fees and monthly rentals, with some optional services like home health, meals, extra laundry, or transportation at an added cost, and it's certified by the Ohio Department of Aging as an Assisted Living Waiver provider, though it's not taking Medicaid Waiver enrollees right now. The place is licensed and includes independent living apartments and villas, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing if needed, all in Bluffton, Ohio, and you can find more facts on their website, mhcoliving.org.
