Who is the community’s developer and operator?

The developer and operator of Seasons at Maplewood is Ecumen, one of the largest non-profit providers of older adult services in the nation. Based in Shoreview, Minnesota, Ecumen owns and/or operates a broad spectrum of more than 75 senior housing communities, primarily in Minnesota, but in Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin as well. Ecumen empowers its residents to live richer, fuller lives.

Do I sign a lease?

Yes, at Ecumen Seasons at Maplewood, there is a month-to-month lease.

Is there a security deposit or an endowment fee?

Yes, we collect a security deposit at lease-signing:

  • $1,000 for a studio or 1-bedroom
  • $1,500 for a 1-bedroom plus den
  • $2,000 for a 2-bedroom

The funds are put into an interest-bearing account and may be refunded upon move-out, dependent upon damage or costs of repairs to the unit.

What if I decide to move?

If you decide to move, simply give us a written 30-day notice of your intent to vacate your apartment home.

How often will my rent increase?

Ecumen reviews its budgets annually. Over the course of our 150+-year history, we have typically experienced an annual rent increase of roughly 3%. But please know that Ecumen is a non-profit organization: any rent increase is strictly related to an increase in the cost of living—not to pay dividends to shareholders, as is often the case with for-profit communities.
