“Care is first class service. Nurses do care and respond as they can to my needs. Medications administered on time and physical therapy really took their time on me. Food is good. Socializing with activities is great.”

“What a wonderful group of angels. My family member was in the second floor for roughly 5 months. Upon my arrival I was apprehensive based on the facility being a bit outdated. Never judge a book by its cover is the best I can say about Maplewood in Amesbury. The professionalism and compassion from the second floor team was incredible. I can’t thank them enough for showing my cousin such kindness, …”

“The rehab department is great and the therapists are lovely, helpful, attentive and listen to my concerns. They have taught me different strategies to move around after my fractured ankle and it gives me something to look forward to. I can't speak highly enough of the PT and OT crew at Maplewood and make it a better place to be”
