Letter: Altogether pleasing... My aunt, Violet Warden, has
been a resident of Maplewood since Feb. 16, 1998.
I had intended to place my aunt at Maplewood
temporarily until a single room became available in
a nursing home closer to my home or place of employment.
I have since decided that Maplewood will be my aunt's
permanent home for the following reasons:
The size makes it a very
personable and likeable home
The décor is delightful. There
are paintings and pictures on all walls, window
treatments and flower arrangements
The sitting areas are well furnished
with couches and chairs upholstered with attractive
fabrics
Beautiful, large picture windows
in the dining room overlook the patio, shrubbery
and bird feeder
Freedom of the residents to move
around as they please.
Commitment and involvement of all
staff
Constant contact with me regarding
my aunt
Manner of accommodating or dealing
with personality conflicts.
Maplewood is altogether a
pleasing long term care home.
