Dear Christian, Ray, Michelle, Emily, Giovanni, Louisa, Ray, Aaysia, Samantha, Cindy, Sandy, Daisa and other Angels who are too numerous for me to remember (please forgive me) at Maplewood @ Orange,<br><br>Thanks a bazillion to each of you at M@O for giving my late Mom age 102 the very best care on earth after she reluctantly left her home of 76 years. You are a blessing to Mom and our entire family. Your kindness, diligence, attentiveness to every detail and professionalism is without parallel. Over a 15 year period I took Mom for lunch at 12+ similar communities from Branford to Stamford CT and some on multiple occasions. None compare to the complete package of assisted living, 24/7 RN staffing coupled with The CT Hospice, Branford oversight on an outpatient basis which you delivered in tandem to manage her pain. Mom got the very best care in a loving environment in a room with a southern exposure that Christian hand picked for her. Mom loved you all and in the end she was ready for our dear Lord to take her.<br>God bless you always,<br>Robert Ierardi

Dear Christian, Ray, Michelle, Emily, Giovanni, Louisa, Ray, Aaysia, Samantha, Cindy, Sandy and Daisa,<br>Thanks a bazillion to each of you and your entire team at M@O for so smoothly transitioning Mom age 101 & 10 months from her home of 76 years followed by 12 days in the hospital to your lovely facility. You are a blessing to Mom and our entire family. Your kindness, diligence, attentiveness to every detail and professionalism is without parallel. Over a 15 year period I took Mom for lunch at 12+ similar communities from Branford to Stamford CT and some on multiple occasions. None compare to the complete package of assisted living, 24/7 RN staffing coupled with The CT Hospice, Branford oversight on an outpatient basis which you deliver in tandem. God bless you all. Now Mom gets the very best care in a loving environment in a room with a southern exposure that Christian hand picked for her. Mom loves it and now we can visit Mom without the wear and tear on her and us as she aged in place at home.<br>Bravissimo M@O!

We have found the staff at Maplewood Orange to be a great partner in caring for our mom. Their help with the original move-in was invaluable and reassuring for the family that this was the right place for our mother.<br>When it became necessary to move her to another floor, the maintenance staff was terrific, working with mom to quickly get her new room set up so she could get herself settled with familiar belongings around her.<br>If you ask her what she likes about Maplewood, she will always say the daily exercise classes, the flower arranging, and the programs offered, especially the musical ones. She also says frequently that the food is very good – that she has never had a bad meal!<br>The family is also grateful for the insight from all the staff on the best way to care for mom. She couldn’t be in better hands.<br>Joanne and Susan

Maplewood of Orange, was extremely clean airy and pleasant we were greeted upon arrival by the front associate, Cindy who made us feel welcome excited to be there. We had an appointment with Caroline the sales person, was so helpful and answered all of our questions, including the ones I had to after the tour on her cell, and she answered every time.<br>The apartments reflected the same atmosphere and cleanliness of the entire establishment.<br>I would recommend Maplewood of Orange to anyone who is looking for a relaxed, spotless and friendly environment!
