Response from Maplewood at Strawberry Hill
August 15, 2024Thank you for your feedback and for recommending Maplewood at Strawberry Hill. We’re pleased to hear you’re generally satisfied with our community. We also appreciate your constructive comments about the aides and billing issues. Your insights help us improve, and we will address these concerns to ensure a better experience for everyone. If you have any more details to share or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
I had been ill for a while and though I did not want to be a burden to my family I also did not want to move into Maplewood for the care and rehabilitation I needed at the time. Reluctantly, I accompanied my sister and brother-in-law (with whom I had been temporarily living) to a meeting with key Maplewood personnel to discuss the possibility of my moving in. My sister and brother-in-law were certain with the proper care provided by Maplewood's medical and various other staff personnel I would get well and be able to return to my home in good health and enjoy my independent living again. I was not certain. I was very doubtful. I became a resident of Maplewood in [date removed]. To say there was an immediate level of comfort would not be accurate but to say I soon learned I was in a caring environment wherein Maplewood's Management, Medical, Office, Culinary, and other personnel worked cohesively to contribute to my complete recovery. I am home, enjoying my independent living and my family.

August 7, 2024Dear Nancy, Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that Maplewood’s dedicated team helped you through your recovery and made you feel cared for. It’s wonderful to know that you’re now back to enjoying independent living and time with your family. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priorities.
Maplewood at Strawberry Hill dispensed morphine to my mother without authorization. My mother died that day. Strawberry Hill was found by the police to have dispensed the morphine and to then modify my mother's prescription drug dispensing records for that medication. A police report was filed and a full investigation was commenced by the Norwalk police department. My mother was forced to undergo an autopsy by the medical examiner. I will never forgive myself for placing her in this facility.

Response from Maplewood at Strawberry Hill
August 16, 2024We are truly sorry for your loss and understand how difficult this time must be for you. Maplewood does not dispense medications without proper authorization. There was an investigation that did not result in a finding of fault in connection with the patient’s passing on the part of either Maplewood or its staff. Please know that you and your family remain in our thoughts during this difficult period.
Lavish cakes and pastries are nice after a tour of a home for your loved ones but it’s all about the care they receive. It’s a competitive business and many tout as being the best or maybe even look down on their competition (red flag). Some places have wonderful park like settings but -again- it’s about the care that goes on inside these buildings. After looking over ten different places, I found that Maplewood at Strawberry Hill was the best for mom and so far I’ve not been disappointed.

May 14, 2024Dear Drew, Thank you for choosing Maplewood at Strawberry Hill to care for your mom. We're delighted to hear that you're satisfied with the care she's receiving. Your trust means everything to us, and we're committed to providing the best possible care for your loved one.
From the minute I walked in the door, I knew it was the best place for my 92-year-old mom. I was greeted by a staff member so happy and full of life. I had been to several other places before touring Maplewood Strawberry Hill. There was no comparison. This facility is top notch from the front desk staff to the nursing staff, and the aides who provide 24-hour care to my mom. The management team you know who you are I couldn't have asked for anyone better to assist me in getting my mom settled in your facility. I can go to bed at night knowing my mom is taken care of and I have nothing to worry about. The recreation directors and employees that run that department are above and beyond. There are so many great activities daily for residents to participate in. I wish I could mention names because there are so many that I would love to thank. Thank you all so very much.

I have compared Maplewood to my Mom's last assisted living home in Florida and the difference is night and day. Maplewood's staff is attentive, accessible, and responsive. They are always on top of any issues or concerns to make things better or find a solution.
