Maplewood Place in Malden, Massachusetts, offers three levels of residential care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—under one roof. The community accepts residents who wander either in the morning or evening, can handle elopement risks, and supports diabetics who manage their condition with oral medications. Staff are also trained to work with individuals experiencing advanced dementia, allowing residents with complex cognitive needs to remain on campus as their conditions progress.
Clinical oversight is provided by an RN or LPN on site and a nurse who is on call around the clock. Residents have access to podiatry and audiology services without leaving the building, and a Personal Emergency Response System routes alerts directly to staff day and night. Additional supervision comes from a full-time activity director and 24-hour security personnel. For daily living tasks, caregivers offer some physical assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to single-person lifts, and mobility devices such as walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Apartments vary in layout and amenities. Many units include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and scheduled housekeeping, but not every suite contains every feature. Prospective residents should confirm the exact specifications of any apartment under consideration.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary team, with snacks available between scheduled dining periods. The kitchen staff can adjust recipes for dietary restrictions, including vegetarian options, to meet physician or resident preferences.
Residents can park their own vehicles, bring pets, visit the barber and beauty shop, work out in the exercise room, or relax in communal gardens. On-site religious services, scheduled transportation, and close proximity to public transit provide additional convenience. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
