My mother-in-law is in Maplewood at Cuyahoga Falls. She won't be there for a long time. She's just on respite, so she should be coming home in a few weeks. They've been very kind to her. It's a beautiful facility, and they've kept us up-to-date with everything that's going on, which I really appreciate. They had activities, but they just had a COVID outbreak so they're still doing them but from their rooms, and just not as many. The food was beautiful. I've seen it, but she can't really tell us how it is because she has Alzheimer's so she can't remember them. It's a beautiful facility, and it's super clean.

Maplewood, Mom’s home. Mom had Alzheimer’s so it was just a matter of time before she would need more help than we (my sister and I) could provide. So we began our search. Four places in the local area met our criteria, but Maplewood showed us a whole nother level of living for Mom. From our first, emotional visit, we were assured and supported and helped along the way. The admission process was seamless. We were able to move Mom’s personal, important things into her apartment and get it set up just right. I stayed with her that first night and for the next almost-three years enjoyed hanging out at Mom’s place. My sister, being local, visited almost daily, and I, driving in from Dayton enjoyed many weekends at Maplewood. Attention to each resident's specific needs and safety, unique as individuals, as well as in their care are always a priority. Enrichment activities abound! The residents feel a sense of purpose, make friends, laugh, sing, dance, travel locally and experience the joys of living to the best of their abilities. Mom was very particular about her appearance, her nickname, “Hollywood” confirms this. So, the beauty parlor was very important to her, as was being well dressed, including pearls and her purse. The staff facilitated this, as things changed, and she was always proud of the way she looked. Communication was paramount, and we always felt involved and informed in the best of times and the worst of times. When we made the transition between Tides and Currents it was seamless and caring and perfect. All of her needs, as she declined, were lovingly taken care of; and when the time came for Mom to leave us, we were supported in such indescribably heartfelt ways. From our first visit we knew Maplewood was a special place. We knew the staff was trained and valued, but more importantly, serving with passion. We knew the residents were loved, cared for, and special, but more importantly, they are really wonderful people. When folks ask us about Maplewood we can't stop talking. We rave about everything and everyone; from the facility to the staff to the amenities to the philosophy to the activities and the food. Everyone, truly every staff member stands out as amazing models of caring, professional, dedicated, going-beyond-the-call-of-duty, passion-driven caregivers; and their dedication is palpable in everything they do. When looking for the best place in a difficult time, Maplewood stands out as an oasis of love and care. Truly a home for Mom.

I toured this community recently for my mother and found the community to be clean, welcoming and after my tour - they even gave me a fresh pie prepared by the Chef - what a surprise. My mother has advanced dementia and needs a secure community and Maplewood has all of things I was looking for. Their residents appear clean, well cared for and pleasantly happy. The place smells good and was well staffed. I'm working with my attorney to gain guardianship so we can make the transition from home to Maplewood smooth.

An ad in the paper brought me to Maplewood for a seminar on Dementia. I was impressed by the well designed, lovely, yet professional air of the place. The bedrooms were large and private. The dining room, with linens and china, was very inviting, and with a personal chef, It was clear that this was the place for Dad. It made him feel special every day. After investigated five other communities, I felt Maplewood surpassed them by far. Dad lived here for 10 months before passing. He was kept clean, well dressed, and lovingly cared for. The staff is expertly trained in dealing with dementia. The aides are patient and very perceptive when a situation seems eminent. At my home Dad barely had any interaction. Yet Dad was highly stimulated here. He enjoyed the exercise, games, entertainment, and outings with the other residents. We would take him out for lunch, or occasionally bring dinner and enjoy a private party in the "Family" dining room. There were also times we enjoyed a movie in the theater room with him. I never had to worry about Dad while he was here. Thank you for the love you all gave him and for making his last days so special. This is a place where I would want to live.

I visit my sister who lives in the Currents neighborhood. She was at a different memory care and was so unhappy. It was just a hallway. Here she can wander throughout the community and not get upset because it is just a few feet to walk. I love to watch the staff when I'm there and see how they interact with the patients. They give such love to everyone and keep them busy. I love to eat lunch with me sister because it always tastes delicious. Everyone I meet is so warm and welcoming that I no longer dread going to see my sister. I have informed my children that if I ever need assisted living or memory care, I want to go here! Thank you for taking such care of my sister!

We had to make an emergency placement for my dad after a fall in April 2017. We were so lucky to find Maplewood of Cuyahoga Falls. The staff at Maplewood, from the director to the maintenance staff, are wonderful. They treated my dad like he was a member of their own family and they were so supportive of all of us. The facility is beautiful, clean, and well designed. It allows for residents to move around the unit freely and safely. There are a variety of activities that residents can choose to participate in on a daily basis. But most important is the care they gave to my father. He was clean, well dressed, and loved each day. When he saw the faces of his favorite staff members his face would light up. Maplewood made the last 17 months of my dad's life as fulfilling as possible given his declining mental and physical status due to Alzheimer's Disease. Thank you for everything Maplewood. We will forever be grateful to you.
