Community can be defined as a 'state or feeling of caring about and wanting to interact with others in a group'. This is what you will find at Maplewood Brewster. Our father was fortunate to have spent two years in an assisted living apartment at Maplewood. Beginning with our initial contact, we found all members of the staff smiling, laughing, talking with and assisting the residents who were equally engaged. The sense of a healthy community was real and pervasive. We were impressed with the multitude of activities and services provided every single day. Movies, day trips, men's club, arts and crafts, exercise classes, current events, church services, musical performances, even a language class lead by a resident. Our dad was an active participant in the outdoor gardening experience having his own buckets to plant and tend while admiring the efforts of his neighbor's gardens. The food preparation is excellent, creative with several options to choose from each meal. When medical needs arose, the staff was immediately present and supportive providing the care needed. We give our experience at Maplewood Brewster an A++!
