MapleShade Meadows Senior Living

The only thing my uncle looks forward to at his age in seeing his friends and enjoying a good meal. My uncle has made some really good friends here with other people including some staff. He also loves the food here and says they good size meals to. Since my uncle has been here he's happier but with this pandemic, I haven't been able to see him like I did in the past. I don't blame Maple Shade but at least he's safe.

I've had many family members here over the past few years but most recently, there was a management change and from what I've been told the owners are much more involved. What a remarkable change and most recently the new Director has been more engaged with residents. There is a genuine level of care and compassion at Mapleshade and I'm thankful to have my relatives there.

We placed my mother in Maple Shade Meadows over nine years ago and she is still here today, happy, healthy and smiling. I can't say enough about the caring staff. They've kept my mother moving and I understand she has become a avid Bingo player. The kitchen prepares tasty meals and snacks daily and I often meet my mother in the Bistro for coffee or tea. As I look back to when we faced the difficult but necessary decision of placing my mother in personal care, I now realize that not only was it the right decision but Maple Shade is able to provide the care activities she needed to thrive. Thank you for your continuing level of care and compassion!

Placed my Grandmother in their care after going through their evaluation process and telling them several time that she has Alzheimer's along with providing them paperwork from her doctor about the sever dementia. They told us that they would be able to handle her "no problem". However, after just 5 days they called us and stated we need to pick her up as soon as possible as they were not able to handle her any longer. When ask what changed they stated that she was disruption the other residents by getting out of bed at night and wondering into other people rooms waking them up. We had advised them during the enrolment process that was something she was known to do and they stated it would not been as issues as they had locks on the doors and alarm systems to let them know when someone was out of bed. When we brought that point up the lady on the phone stated they were not aware of the extent of her problems. They did refund us however so that's a plus but now we have to find another place that will take her and they could not provide us with any other options. On top of this we had requested she get a Chopped Meals which were not provided to her on the days we had visited we had to ask a nurse to come over and cut the food up. When we asked why the meal had not been pre cut before it was served to her she told us that they do not cut the meals unto the resident requests it which is not what we had been told when we singed up. I can understand if they are not set up to handle dementia but the fact that during the whole enrollment process everyone we spoke with kept telling us that it was not going to be an issue is what really made me upset. If you can't handle Alzheimer's patents at least tell me up front so we can look at other places. Now my parents had to cancel there vacation plans because someone has to be home with Grandma at all times and we lost the funding we had for Adult Daycare because we used it to pay for the Nursing Home that now says they can't take her.
