We toured the Darien Maplewood recently and discovered a warm, friendly home environment. The staff were welcoming and made us feel we would be among family. The shared areas are beautiful and well maintained and I particularly liked the feel of the library area and the gardens.

I recently toured Maplewood at Darien, looking for a home from home with a smaller, more intimate feel. This facility is well situated for easy access and met all my criteria. The apartments are beautiful and the restaurant, library and other communal areas are immaculate and welcoming. There is also a very pleasant outdoor patio and well maintained grounds.
