Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if a independent living community is right for me?

Senior Living is right when you can take care of yourself and you answer “Yes” to any of the following:

  • Would you enjoy participating in outings, craft projects, card games, or specialty clubs like a Book Club or Veteran’s Club?
  • Would you benefit from eating meals prepared for you and enjoying the company of others at dinner time?
  • Would you benefit from regular exercise like walking or taking a stretching and balance class?
  • Would you benefit from having all the details of everyday life—shopping, housekeeping, home maintenance and more—taken care of?

Is living at Maple Heights Retirement Community really more affordable than staying at home?

To find out, first add up all your current monthly expenses. This could include rent/mortgage, property tax, home owner’s insurance, subdivision or association fees, utilities, lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash removal, home repairs, housekeeping, transportation, exercise classes, groceries, health maintenance, home emergency call systems and more.

Now compare your total to the monthly rental program at Maple Heights. Our fees include all of these expenses—along with priceless peace of mind.

What’s included in the monthly fee?

Our monthly rental program includes all utilities (except cable TV, Internet and phone), restaurant-style and all-day dining, housekeeping, laundry, bus transportation, fitness and exercise classes, innovative activities, wellness programs, educational and cultural programs, concierge services, a theater, 24-hour staffing, and a 24-hour emergency call system.
