I recently had the pleasure of visiting Maplewood at Southport, and I must say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance immediately stands out. The facility is bright, welcoming, and elegantly designed, with tasteful decor and thoughtfully arranged spaces that make it feel more like a luxury hotel than a care facility. The open, airy layout and comfortable seating areas create a sense of calm and serenity, making it a delightful place for residents and visitors alike. What truly sets Maplewood at Southport apart from my other visits, however, is the friendly welcome. The staff are not only highly professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. They go above and beyond to ensure the residents feel safe, supported, and cared for, with a level of compassion that truly stands out. Whether it’s assisting with daily activities or providing a warm smile, the caregivers create a nurturing environment that fosters a real sense of home.

March 28, 2024Dear Viveca, We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying your fresh start at Maplewood at Southport! Our vibrant community is indeed made special by our wonderful residents and dedicated staff. Thank you for sharing your positive experience."
Make sure you like the staff before committing to placing your parents in a facility. Make a few visits to a facility and come prepared with questions. Take the time to try to get to know who all the key players will be ie all department heads but also the roles of people who will interact with your parents or parent on a day to day basis. Visit often and without warning once your parent is placed so that you can see what is happening when they don’t know you are coming. Also, make sure that if you want your parent to stay at the facility until end of life, that they have the necessary care and staffing to do this. The communication at Maplewood was terrible. My sister and I were proactive, so we would request meetings and phone calls that were not promptly returned. The move in process was very stressful. Not the move itself but leading up to it. We had asked for a lease several times, asking that it be submitted to my sister who had power of attorney in a timely fashion so that she could review it before leaving to go out of town. It wasn’t submitted until 5pm the night before she left and the lease was 70 pages long! There were two weeks from the time we toured to the day we got the lease. Two weeks. She had to scramble the next day to sign it and get necessary signatures as well as arrange all the deposits. They said they wouldn’t allow my father to move in until all this was settled. And I had already scheduled a bed and other items to be delivered in time for a move- in that had a tight time frame. It was so chaotic and unorganized and was a source of intense stress at a time that is already inherently stressful. The housekeeping staff seemed very friendly. Hard to judge because my father wasn’t there for long, only two weeks, but it always seemed very clean. Hard to judge the meals because my father wasn’t there for long, but he said they weren’t good and reviews I’ve read said that their whole farm to table thing is not accurate at all. That they experienced hot dogs and pasta. A week into my father’s move there, when his full time aide had left that we hired personally, he fell while out of his wheelchair. He was in the Living Room with other people on his floor. They are supposed to have aides watching them all the time. No one could tell us how it happened, just that it shouldn’t have happened. Inexcusable especially given how expensive these places are. The only staff I really liked was the director of the memory care floor. My suggestions for improvement- everything.

Maplewood has gone far beyond my expectations. I expected a beautiful setting in an excellent facility, but what I had not anticipated was how many friends I would make in a very short time.
