Overview of Maplewood at Weston

Maplewood at Weston has been part of its Weston, Massachusetts neighborhood for 12 years, sitting at 99 Norumbega Rd in a two-story building with 93 beds. It’s not built around a single kind of care. Independent living, personal care, and memory care all coexist here, spread across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments.

Getting around does mean getting in a car. The Walk Score is 17, solidly car-dependent, so most errands and outings involve driving rather than walking. Pets are welcome, small animal companions specifically, so residents don’t have to leave a cat or a small dog behind to make the move.

Staffing runs around the clock here, with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants on hand at all hours. Respite care, transportation, and housekeeping round out the practical side of things, the kind of support that takes real weight off a family’s shoulders. Beyond the basics, there’s a real push toward engagement: educational programs, cultural events, and wellness programming show up regularly, backed by a library, landscaped grounds, and a 24-hour emergency call system that residents can rely on if something goes wrong.

Twelve years in, spanning three levels of care, with staffing that doesn’t clock out: what Maplewood at Weston adds up to is a community built for residents whose needs might shift over time, without forcing a move somewhere new when they do.

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Massachusetts?

Assisted living in Massachusetts supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Massachusetts?

Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Massachusetts Medicaid cover assisted living?

Massachusetts Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Massachusetts) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
