Maplewood Assisted Living, also known as Maplewood Residential Center, sits at 1827 Crader Drive in Jefferson City, Missouri, and has a licensed capacity for up to 32 residents, with 13 specific assisted living units. This community helps older adults who need extra help with daily life, like bathing, dressing, moving around, and managing medicine, and it also has care for Parkinson's disease, dementia, and Alzheimer's. The staff includes licensed nurses and personal care assistants who provide around-the-clock supervision, help with falls prevention, surgery recovery, wound care, and even support for insulin monitoring if needed, and they can also help move people from their beds to wheelchairs and assist with two-person transfers if someone's mobility needs get more complex. Residents can choose from studio apartments, one-bedroom units, or shared living spaces, where rooms come with housekeeping, laundry service, kitchens or kitchenettes, phone, cable TV, and safety features like sprinkler systems and emergency alert systems.
People living here get chef-prepared meals in the community dining room with all-day dining and snacks, and there are options for special diets, including allergy-sensitive, diabetes-friendly, low-salt, or other clinical diets, and if someone's hungry outside mealtimes, food is always available. Maplewood lets residents keep small pets, which adds a little extra comfort for those who want animal companionship, and activities fill up the days, like assisted wellness programs, music and animal therapy, movie nights, tabletop games, social nights, arts and crafts, outdoor walks on trails, and offsite trips, plus on-site devotional gatherings for those interested. There's a games room, theater room, fitness and wellness area, garden spaces, a salon/barber shop, and guest parking alongside Wi-Fi throughout the facility, and there's also transportation help for medical appointments, errands, and spiritual needs.
Maplewood deals with both independent seniors and those who need more daily support and provides Board and Care Home services along with assisted living and memory care, and they have individualized plans for each person, including those in hospice or respite care. Residents have access to podiatry care, occupational therapy, and ongoing health checks, with extra help managing medicines as needed, and the staff includes awake personnel at all hours for emergencies. The community's designed to be accessible for wheelchairs and those who have trouble walking, with non-ambulatory care options, and care staff can support bathing, toileting, grooming, dressing, and general hygiene, plus the option for a mobile stylist for haircuts or grooming. Maplewood works with Medicaid, Medicare, long-term care insurance, private pay, and Veterans' benefits, and the starting monthly rate for assisted living is about $3,000, though final costs depend on care needs, chosen room, and extra services.
There are regular community events, book rooms, a hot tub or steam area, and support for keeping up personal wellness-plus, every resident can join in on recreational programs and group activities to stay active and connected. Concerns about memory are handled with special programs and trained staff, with support for individualized memory care plans for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Families can set up assessments right through the Maplewood website, and everything's built with the mission of making life safer, more comfortable, and less stressful for both seniors and their loved ones. Maplewood Assisted Living is certified by Missouri's Department of Social Services and aims to offer a respectful, empathetic, and practical place for seniors, whether they need only a little help or have more complex health needs.
