Maplewood Commons

1015 Saw Mill River Road, Ardsley, NY 10502
Overview of Maplewood Commons

From one address in Ardsley, NY, Maplewood Commons runs independent living, memory care, nursing home care, assisted living, and skilled nursing.

Ongoing clinical support is what the nursing home and skilled nursing designations refer to. Where assisted living applies, staff take a share of bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living carries the services and stops short of the care.

Memory care means supervision inside a secured space, where wandering is the risk. Because five levels are named on one license, a move up is a move within the same community. Respite is the booking a family makes around the days its caregiver cannot cover.

Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation is a named program here, so recovery work runs alongside the nursing. There are 80 beds, pets are allowed, and ATR New York LH, Inc. operates the place.

The Walk Score is 73, which is very walkable, and most errands can be walked to.

Residents can participate in Creative Aging & Lifelong Learning and Intergenerational Learning programs, and pets are permitted on campus.
