I like living here very much. The services, the help, the food is tasty. The family events are very good, with great menus. I've lived here 8 years and some of the staff is still the same. I've known them many years and appreciate how well they know me.

My father has been a resident at Maplewood for many years. The staff loves and cares for my dad and it is evident in everything they do. I have always been happy with Maplewood's care of my dad. During Covid, I was even more appreciative of the Maplewood. Covid was a very difficult time for everyone but especially for families who have someone in assisted living. Not being able to visit my dad was very hard but I knew he was in great hands with the Maplewood community. They were in constant contact with me and when I spoke with my dad he was always well cared for. As soon as they were able, they had window visits, zoom visits, outside visits, anything they could do in order for families to see their loved ones. Now that Covid restrictions have lessened, the Maplewood is back to having wonderful opportunities for families to come and celebrate holidays. These celebrations are so lovely and a great time. I am so appreciative of all the Maplewood staff and their care of my dad.

November 22, 2022Thank you so much, Monica. It is our honor to care for your dad and have enjoyed getting to know both of you. Your endorsement is validation that we are providing the care we strive to have for all of our residents and their families. Have a great day!
We chose Maplewood at Strawberry Hill because there were some younger residents here at the time which was important because of his age. His room size is great for his needs. My brother is the youngest person here so the activities are geared more towards the older population and he is having a harder time with that. I would recommend this facility to others.

November 19, 2021Hi Tracy, we appreciate your feedback. We know that moving a loved one into a senior living community can be a difficult decision, and we are honored that we were entrusted with your loved one's care. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything additional we can do for you or your loved one.
Our tour was wonderful. They were lovely, and I really liked them. They offered both assisted living and memory care, and that was my only point of concern - that our loved one with Alzheimer's might get lost in the layout or have more opportunity to wander off. We selected another community simply based on the layout, which was exclusively memory care. Because of that, they had a lot of neat features to cater to the residents' enjoyment and safety. They were also decorated more to his taste. Although Maplewood Strawberry Hill was decorated nicely as well.

May 4, 2022Hi Tracy, thank you for taking time out of your day to share your tour experience with us! We forwarded your feedback to our team.
It was a difficult task to find an assisted living for my dad and his wife who has Alzheimer’s. Every place I looked at had his wife locked away in a memory unit 24/7. Maplewood has an amazing program called Tides where my dad and his wife are on the same floor in separate rooms but they can be together as often as they want and she still gets the care she needs. The facility is absolutely beautiful. It’s like being on a cruise ship. So many activities for both of them everyday. Food is amazing, I’ve had a few meals there. Very clean, updated facility. Rooms are updated and beautiful. Now to the staff. [name removed] the executive director is amazing and helped me through this whole process. The rest of the staff is so kind and caring I can’t say enough. I know I picked the right place for them and they both will thrive there! Best decision I’ve made!

We chose Maplewood at Strawberry Hill because of the location and the cleanliness of the facility when you walk in. The room sizes here were great, they have a nice kitchenette, bathroom, and bedroom. We did eat here a couple of times and the food was great, they had a menu with choices. The best part about this community is the staff members. I would recommend.

It took my family and I a while to find the right place. I am currently a resident at Maplewood at Strawberry Hill and want to share how much I enjoy the community. The food is delicious, especially breakfast because that meal is my personal favorite. My apartment is sunny, overlooking a lovely garden and patio. There is always a great variety of activities. I especially enjoy the walking club, daily exercise programs, and the women’s group. The staff is wonderful, always very helpful to everyone, whether the Dining Room or Activities or Care staff. Everyone knows you and cares that you have a great day! The grounds are so beautiful and I especially appreciate that. I definitely recommend Strawberry Hill to anyone looking at senior living.
