Maple Ridge Gracious Retirement Living offers Independent Living with an emphasis on accessible medical support. Residents who use oxygen, are under 60, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or injections can receive monitoring and coordination with outside providers. The community is also prepared for residents with mild dementia, supplying oversight that respects independence while watching for safety and health changes.
Care is backed by background-checked staff on site 24 hours a day, a pull-cord system in every apartment, and optional Personal Emergency Response System pendants that alert staff instantly. A full-time activity director coordinates daily programming, and visiting podiatry services reduce off-site appointments. Assistance is available for self-care bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and team members can help with transfers for those who use walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Because floor plans vary, not every unit contains every feature. Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan.
Dining operates on a set menu rotated regularly, served in a central dining room with staff present. Snacks are available between meals, and the culinary team accommodates physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications such as low-sodium or sugar-controlled selections.
Community amenities include resident parking, assigned carports, private garages, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a barber and beauty shop, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation in addition to proximity to public transit. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
