Maplewood at Mayflower Place

My parents were living in their own home and had a person come twice a week to assist them with housekeeping and a shower for my mom. While this was good my parents were still isolated and not eating well, in addition we would find medication not taken. We toured over 8 communities and decided to chose Mayflower Place. Well my mom who did not do much is going to morning exercise and my dad is putting and bowling weekly. They go to concerts weekly and I have the peace of mind as the nurses and sids are there 24 hours!! Not to mention they are no longer eating food that is microwaved My dad told me he wished he moved them years earlier. The residents are so friendly. I am beyond happy for my parents. They are independent again!

I would suggest you consider this community first. They have the best care, engaging the residents, and assisting with getting acquainted in the community. The food is amazing. The menu is like a restaurant menu, and the chef is local. They try to get all their food locally as well. One example of dinner is duck breast, liver and onions, or steak tips.

Maplewood at Mayflower Place has been truly outstanding throughout this pandemic! They have prioritized the health and safety of their residents to the highest level and as a physician I know first-hand how much work, care and planning this takes. They must be one of the top in the country with their efforts and dedication to the well-being of their residents and the impact this has had in keeping a vulnerable population safe during this pandemic. I am so grateful to their dedicated leadership and staff and I am so thankful for all that they have done and continue to do for my mom and the other residents!

After a great deal of searching through 2019, Dad finally convinced Mom to give Maplewood a try, and they moved in [date removed]. Little were we to know what was to come in 2020. After a smooth move in experience they settled right in to enjoy the new living quarters. When the lockdown began, we were very concerned about having our high risk parents in a community facility of any sort. But with [name removed] at the helm, all of the incredible staff and administration at Maplewood not only rose to the occasion, but exceeded all expectations and addressed every concern. When we lost Dad eleven months later (not due to Covid!), again the incredible staff came together to help us through the hospice process and to care for us all as their own. We truly felt a part of a community. As Mom continues to inhabit her 'wee apartment' in safety and comfort through the remainder of the lock down and emergence, we remain convinced that there isn't a better place that she could be.

My Mom lives at Maplewood and she loves it. Through the Covid Covid crisis, the Staff kept my Mom and the rest of the residents safe. There are no words to thank them.

My father was living out of state and we needed to find a place for him to live so he could be closer to our family. The staff at Mayflower Place took care of everything -from arranging transportation to the Cape to making sure he had a cell phone to use until he got his telephone squared a way. Everyone is friendly and the apartments are very nice. They even have a washer/dryer in the apartment!

The food was excellent, the rooms are very comfortable and well laid out. The staff was one thing that really stood out to us they were very friendly, welcoming and very supportive of the residents.

My parents moved to Mayflower in December 2016 and it continues to be a great choice 3 1/2 years later. The staff is top notch, from the Executive Director who knows each resident, to the head of lifestyle activities who plans a wide variety of activities which my parents really enjoy, to the dining staff who create and serve delicious meals which are beautifully presented, to the fitness staff and health care staff and all the support staff. Last month my father passed away and my Mom received so much support, attention and care from the staff and her fellow residents; she is very thankful to be staying in her apartment at Mayflower. Right now the Mayflower is following strict guidelines during Covid-19, and is focussed on keeping their residents and staff safe. The Exec Director is excellent at communicating with families with regular updates during this time of uncertainty. I am very glad that Mom is a resident at Mayflower.

My Dad always told me it was his “job” to worry. As he ages, the worry has shifted. I know I am NOT alone. Dad is a retired Veteran who suffers from PTSD and depression, so it is hard for him to socialize. He was sitting too much, in pain from inactivity and was becoming forgetful. Shortly after moving to Mayflower, his color is back, he is certainly walking better with an improved posture, balance, AND his memory improved as he began moving around a socializing. His doctor even noticed! Every member of the staff knows him, knows what is going on in his life, and converses with him. He has meals with friends, and he is never alone. I work in the healthcare field and stay in hotels about 120 nights per year for business, so I admittedly have extremely high standards in terms of care, environment and meals. Maplewood at Mayflower impresses me. I sleep well at night knowing he is living in an independent, supportive and gorgeous environment, right down to the dinnerware and incredible meals prepared by a chef, (who I should probably meet and provide a thank you personally!”

I moved to Mayflower Place 7 years ago, after my husband passed away. I have made many friends that have become my family. The staff is professional and caring. I love being able to go to the stores and not have to drive. The food is wonderful and the dining room is beautiful. I am so glad I made this decision to live here.

I am an independent woman who did not have to move. I choose to move from my Cape home on the water to Mayflower Place. I brought my own furniture and its my new home. I can be as social as I want and I can stay in my large apartment and have privacy. I love that I do not have to make dinner and have many choices every evening. They have a library, pool, theatre, and live concerts here. I am so glad I made this choice to move to Mayflower Place. I have made some wonderful friends along the way.

At first we were very excited, then a few months into it we're finding several issues aren't being addressed very small basic issues like Landscaping while the front of the building looks beautiful the back of the building not so much. In other sections of Maplewood I don't feel that the Staffing is adequate often times I'm there I see that it's very understaffed and it's one nurse having to tend to multiple different patients while I understand it's difficult to hire people that is not our problem, they charge a substantial amount of money to feel safe and cared for... Very disappointing because it feels as though they can put on a dog-and-pony show for the folks from Corporate but the people that are actually paying the fee on a monthly basis have to wait on very basic needs till they can get to them, it is a beautiful place and at first we were very happy there are several great things about it which is why we ultimately decided to go there in addition to offering us peace of mind unfortunately now we're questioning our decision, I feel that there are quite a few shortcomings that could easily be fixed unfortunately to the powers-that-be over there these aren't viewed as a priority.

This community seems to offer some nice amenities and pets are allowed. The community looked clean and the staff we met were friendly. This community only offers respite stays for thirty or more days.

I find the fee structure overwhelming but they are doing their best to help out by waiving this month's fee. They have been flexible and helpful in other ways. For instance they are charging my mom a lower fee so she can live with him. The staff help with his medication and that is a big value. My parent like all the meals they serve. Although they are not participating, activities are available when they are ready. The staff understand my parents and let them have their independence. I am happy with this community.

My loved one was here for quite a long time, and it was a wonderful place. They had an amazing activities director, and were great about encouraging the residents to participate in everything that they offered. She had a beautiful, spacious apartment, and the care they offered was wonderful. They also did an amazing job with the food! They had a large, varied menu to choose from, and the food itself was delicious. Unfortunately her care needs advanced past what they were able to provide here, we would have loved to be able to stay.
