Affiliation with the University of Cincinnati

A formal collaboration with The University of Cincinnati has brought intergenerational relationships, opportunities to age in place, telehealth services, and more to our community. When combined with renovated living accommodations and a full calendar of social, educational, and recreational events, this affiliation allows Maple Knoll Village to be at the forefront of care in the community as we continue to provide premier senior living services.

Since 2012, Maple Knoll Communities has helped prepare a manuscript for tomorrow’s leaders through a formal affiliation with The University of Cincinnati.  This affiliation has provided the next generation with hands-on experience that is beneficial to both residents and the students.  In addition to intergenerational relationships, opportunities to age in place and telehealth services, this collaboration became the testing ground for innovative student projects aimed at detecting falls, preventing medication errors and making life easier for an aging population. 

The affiliation allows engineering, nursing and medical students to pursue innovative research in areas that directly affect older adults and healthcare as a whole.  Together, these two generations can make a lasting impact by embracing technology and creative, quality programming throughout our community.  To date, over 3,500 students and 750 residents have been positively impacted by the partnership.
