The Maples Assisted Living Community, a new locally owned and operated 89-bed assisted living residence in Fulton, held its ribbon cutting in April, marking a significant milestone for the community and its senior residents.
The five-year long project began in 2019 with outfitting being completed in early 2024. Owners and equity partners are Atom Avery of Avery Rental Properties in Oswego, and physician Micheal Stephens, a 20-year resident of Oswego and associate chief medical officer for
Oswego Health.
The Maples occupies the premises once held by Michaud Residential Health Services, a nonprofit nursing and short-stay rehabilitation facility that ceased operations in 2017.
It will feature private or semi-private rooms, a wellness center, barber/beauty salon, computer lab and Wi-Fi access, housekeeping and laundry, in room cable TV, central bathing and spa on each floor, and a movie theater. The Maples will employ about 40 staff when the facility is fully operational.
