Maplewood Senior Citizens is a senior living community in Maplewood, New Jersey, at 564 Irvington Avenue, close to shopping and restaurants, so you can walk or get out if you feel like it, which is nice for staying active and social. The building has 114 studio and one-bedroom apartments; some have fully applianced kitchens, heat and hot water included, and even A/C sleeves. The place has been a part of the neighborhood since 1979, and it's designed for seniors who value independence but want some help around. There's support for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, with a caring staff that's helpful and joyful, and there's a part-time resident services coordinator for extra guidance. The management has a good reputation for being responsive and making sure the place runs smoothly.
Wheelchair ramps, elevators (there are two), accessible parking, and emergency pull-cord systems throughout the community focus on safety. People who live there get chef-prepared meals, and there are meal planners thinking about nutrition, so you're not left guessing. There are community activities for people who want to join in, along with a community room with a kitchen and an outdoor patio to relax or meet with friends. The building has on-site laundry, an intercom system, and 24-hour emergency maintenance, which is reassuring. The overall environment feels friendly and family-like, and many have mentioned that the staff is kind.
The facility serves different needs: independent living for active seniors who like a maintenance-free lifestyle, assisted living for those who need more hands-on help, and memory care. Skilled nursing, home care, and respite care are available too-a relief for caregivers needing a break. Smoke-free living is a rule there, and there's on-site parking for residents. Studio and one-bedroom apartments make up the living spaces, and the community's size at about 61,438 square feet means there's enough room but it's not overwhelming. Reviews usually highlight the dining, staff friendliness, and activities, with an average community rating of 8.2 out of 10. The property is noted in Yardi Matrix data reports for those who care about details like ownership and sales history. The whole community feels gracious and refined, and it's been recognized with awards for meals, activities, and friendly staff, which seems to match up with what people say when they visit or stay. Senior living advisors are available through A Place For Mom if you want extra help thinking things through.
