She writes: “The associates are very experienced, capable, and demonstrate genuine care for people… We feel a real sense of community every time we visit.” We’re proud to provide not just exceptional care, but a culture rooted in warmth, connection, and belonging.

Words, gestures, and even moments of silence carry profound weight in memory care. At Maplewood Senior Living, we recognize that communication is more than an exchange of information—it’s a pathway to connection, trust, and dignity. Our latest blog explores how thoughtful strategies—like simplifying language, honoring silence, using gentle tone, and incorporating visual cues—help foster comfort and reassurance for those living with memory loss. These approaches not only support residents but also strengthen bonds between families, caregivers, and care teams. Discover how purposeful communication can transform everyday interactions into moments that truly matter. Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/eWVMpM_M

At Maplewood at Princeton, a meaningful partnership took root as students from Hightstown High School implemented a pollinator garden designed to support native species and foster greater biodiversity. Nearly a year in the making, the project reflects the students’ commitment to environmental stewardship and long-term community impact. Lending his knowledge and enthusiasm was Maplewood resident Bernie, a dedicated gardener and mentor whose guidance helped bring the vision to life. With the garden now in full bloom, butterflies are expected to visit soon—further testament to the beauty of intergenerational collaboration and purposeful living.
