Maplewood at Brewster offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without changing communities. The Memory Care neighborhood is structured for those with early to advanced dementia and can accommodate residents who wander, attempt elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, or stay awake throughout the night. Clinical oversight covers wound management, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetes care whether on oral medication, injections, or sliding scale. The community also accepts younger adults under 60 who require these same services.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on every shift, an awake night staff, and a 24-hour nurse on site. All employees undergo background checks, and the building uses door alarms, personal emergency response systems, and pull cords to alert staff. Podiatry is provided on site, and the staff is experienced in serving residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Assistance with activities of daily living ranges up to full help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support spans standby supervision through one-person or two-person transfers, Hoyer lifts, and complete bed-bound care.
Residences vary in layout and finish. Many suites include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living area, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Not every accommodation has every feature, so families should verify specific room details during a tour.
Dining offers a standard rotating menu alongside made-to-order options at each meal, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team manages physician-ordered diets, texture modifications, and individualized nutrition plans to support diabetes, weight management, or other medical conditions.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet connectivity, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation, as well as proximity to public transit, helps residents reach local appointments and attractions. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
