Maplewood at Southport

Barbara Bingham

Last November (2021) we made the decision to move my mom into the memory care section of Maplewood at Southport. The facility has beautifully designed spaces, fireplaces, open kitchens, elegant dining rooms set with fresh linens and flowers, beautiful outdoor gardens, water features, courtyards and comfortable areas to sit and relax. Of course, support for Mom has been very important to us. Leslie, Meghan and management helped transition Mom into Maplewood seamlessly. Diane Pimentel, RN has guided us through all of Mom’s medical issues. Xrista and Marney plan numerous interesting and enriching activities for the residents each day. The aides, nurses, housekeepers, cooks and people at the front desk are always helpful, positive and friendly. The care provided to mom has far exceeded our expectations in every way.

Maplewood at Southport has been a blessing for our family; our mother lives on Currents (which is the memory care floor) and we're couldn't be happier with the level of care, activities and staff. The facility and grounds are beautiful with multiple indoor and outdoor seating areas with fireplaces, plantings and lovely furniture. The staff truly enjoy the residents and make every effort to keep them busy with fun activities such as concerts, outings off campus, speaker series, culinary events and wine tastings. Our mother is very happy and adjusted easily as a result of the caring staff and level of activities.

Maplewood is a friendly, caring community. The entire staff- from the staff in the dining room to the RSAs to the director- is so welcoming. They greet visitors and residents with smiles and are always willing to help out. My father has been well taken care of there. The memory care staff is excellent and the programs are designed with the residents' interests in mind.

I chose Maplewood Southport because of it’s beauty and its proximity to my home. Little did I know that a pandemic was around the corner. Before the pandemic, I had imagined that my mom and I would be thick as thieves hanging out like we had for years and years all over town. I also was excited to have family meals in the stylish dining room with their farm to table cuisine that my husband, a renowned chef, raves about. Although we had to keep our distance for a while, Maplewood stood in the gap for my family, I called it a cruise ship on land! The activities in Southport are enriching, sophisticated, and leave my mom feeling engaged and connected. Live music by talented musicians is a constant. I enjoy them as much as the residents! But the ultimate attribute that shines through at Maplewood Southport is the quality and transparency of the leadership. They listen, respond, and are willing to evaluate areas where improvement is possible. The director, Thamara Barbosa -Tirri sets the tone with her openness, compassion and high standards. In addition, Xrista Christopoulos, the memory care director, is tireless and passionate about the dignity and value of her clients. This is the core of our relationship; caring together about what is in the best interest of my Mom, to whom I owe everything!
