Overview of Atria Maplewood Place

Atria Maplewood Place offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Malden, MA. In assisted living, residents keep an apartment while receiving help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering, while respite care provides a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving between care levels can happen within the same community. Atria Maplewood Place has 108 beds, with studios, one-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom apartments, and shared suites. These choices can accommodate one person’s private space or a layout for a couple or companion. The starting price is $3,995 per month, although that amount is not identified with a particular care level.

A Walk Score of 81 places the area in the very walkable range, so most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. The on-site restaurant offers table service and chef-prepared meals, and a bistro or cafe provides another place to eat. Residents can exercise in the fitness center or spend time outdoors in the resident garden. Pets are allowed. Scheduled activities include painting classes, yoga, a book club, social hours, karaoke, seasonal celebrations, art classes, and local excursions, offering regular ways to participate.
