Maplewood at Strawberry Hill
Where pets are welcome, Maplewood at Strawberry Hill is an assisted living and memory care community in Norwalk. It’s near the Westport line and about a mile from the city center. The two-story residential setting offers studio and one-bedroom apartments in what feels like a quiet neighborhood environment instead of a big institutional campus.
Maplewood at Strawberry Hill’s most distinctive feature is its dual-track approach: assisted living and memory care operate in the same facility. This means occupants and families can access both care levels in one place, avoiding relocation disruptions if care needs change. That pace continuity can be especially beneficial for those with evolving cognitive support requirements. For medical appointments or emergencies, Stamford Hospital is roughly 8.79 miles away. The neighborhood scores 61 on the Walk Score scale, so while some errands can be run on foot, for most needs a car is practical. To support daily life, transportation services and on-site fitness and recreation programming are offered.
If you’re drawn to a smaller, residential-feeling community with assisted living and memory care under one roof, visiting will give you a good idea of whether Maplewood at Strawberry Hill’s approach fits your family’s needs.
