Overview of Maplewood Park Place

Maplewood Park Place offers nursing home care, skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Bethesda, MD. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care. Respite care provides short stays when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and the combination of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without leaving the community.

With 29 beds, Maplewood Park Place is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. One bedroom and two bedroom residences are available, including a two bedroom option for a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. The listed starting price is $318 to $407 per day for a private room, giving families a daily amount to budget rather than a monthly starting figure.

Payment options are Medicare and private pay. Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay, while private pay means the resident or family pays directly. The home may be a good fit for someone who needs anything from independent living to nursing care, including a resident whose needs may increase over time or a family needing a short respite stay.

In the Pooks Hill neighborhood, the Walk Score is 38, an officially car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride. Complimentary transportation takes residents to shopping centers and doctors’ offices, so those trips do not require arranging a separate ride.

Residents can use the fitness center, heated indoor pool, whirlpool, and library. Entertainment, arts, nature excursions, and wellness opportunities offer additional ways to spend time on site or take part in organized activities. Pets are allowed, so a resident may keep a pet in the community.
