Maplewood at Chardon

My mom moved in just before Christmas and was not sure what to expect. If she didn't like it she thought she could always move back home. After 9 months and fully embracing it she decided to make it her permanent home. She is a very social person and loves being around people. The staff has been so wonderful, kind, and loving to her and she absolutely adores them. Having gift shop, the chapel to celebrate mass every Tuesday afternoon and a salon in house to get her hair done without ever leaving is such blessing. Mom was going down hill fast after my dad passed a couple of years ago and Maplewood has been so good for. She loves being able to walk in a controlled environment and the courtyard to enjoy the sunny days. Michelle is always ready to greet you with a smile at the door (and a wise crack to get you laughing). Dimitra the social activities director is SO nice and works so hard to all the residents engaged from knitting clubs to happy hours to bible studies, bingo, and arranging for live entertainment to come in. She has enjoyed the weekly Wednesday nights dining on the town with other residents. Allison who is part of the cleaning staff along with the other staff members even went to visit my mom more than once on their own time when she had to be in a rehab for an extended period - WOW! All the aides are always so happy to see her and giving her hugs. We feel so blessed to have Maplewood and the staff in our community and to have mom in such a great facility.
Thank you for always looking out for her and making this time of her life filled with sunshine and smiles!

Maplewood at Chardon has been wonderful for my 98-year-old mother! Last year the burdens of living in her own home became too much for her, but she was very hesitant to give up her home of forty years. Maplewood did everything it could to welcome her to a new home, where she could live her way, but get assistance when needed. The staff is extremely friendly and caring, and they try to accommodate her preferences whenever they can. As a result of the new, comfortable living situation, my mom's outlook on life has blossomed and she seems more energetic. Maplewood is also very good to its extended "family" - the families of the residents. They communicate frequently about events at the residence and specifics about my Mom's health and well-being. There seems to be a very low turnover rate of staff, which is another plus. Very highly recommended!

I have provided on-site care for the residents of Maplewood at Chardon for several years. I have seen first-hand the excellent care provided by the entire staff for their residents. The nurses and aides are courteous and treat the people they care for with respect and kindness. My own experience with the staff is that they always go the extra mile to make sure their people have whatever they need to be comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend this facility to any family looking for assisted-living for a family member.

Maplewood at Chardon was one of the best decisions I ever made. My mother wanted to leave a skilled nursing facility she did not like as she was recovering from an ankle injury after a fall. I looked at about 9 or 10 places before I came to Maplewood at Chardon. The woman who greeted me took a lot of time to explain everything to me and show me around. The Levels of Care looked to be exactly what I was looking for to cater to my mom's condition. The facility was always clean, the nurses and STNAs, the administrators, maintenance staff, kitchen and everyone was wonderful and kind. They were very good about shuttling my mother to her appointments. She was at Maplewood at Chardon for about 9-1/2 months before she passed away from her worsening health condition. The whole staff was wonderful to the end and I would recommend them and Maplewood at Chardon to anyone looking for a quality assisted living facility.

My mother lived here for 2 years. She was very well cared for by a gentle and caring staff. She made nice friends and the activities were good. The staff is friendly and very helpful from the front desk, the van driver to the caregivers and assistants. We were very happy with the care and the kindness presented to my mother. I would highly recommend Maplewood of Chardon to anyone looking for dementia care for their loved one. We moved my mother from another place, which gave terrible care, so we were especially pleased at the level of care at Maplewood. We were able to have Hospice care in the end and keep my mother in her "home". Great place.
