The Garden Committee was successful at Turners Greenhouse in Ann Arbor today! Tomorrow will be a busy day of planting! #silvermaplesofchelsea #gardening

From May 6–12, we honor the incredible nurses who pour their hearts into every moment of care. Our nurses offer a steady hand, listening ear, and a calming voice during life’s most vulnerable moments. They support not only our residents, but their families too—with compassion, strength, and a deep commitment to excellence. We appreciate you and are endlessly thankful for the love and light you bring to our community. #NationalNursesWeek #GratefulHearts #ThankYouNurses

🌟 A big shoutout to our incredible resident volunteers! 🌟 This year, an amazing 46% of our residents—that’s 92 individuals—are actively serving on one or more committees here at Silver Maples. Their time, ideas, and dedication are truly the heartbeat of our community. To show our appreciation, we host an annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, where our leadership team has the pleasure of serving lunch to these remarkable individuals. It’s one of our favorite traditions! We also recognize two outstanding individuals as Volunteers of the Year—a small way to honor the big impact they make. From shaping programs to enhancing daily life, these volunteers make a meaningful impact every day. Thank you to each and every resident volunteer for your generosity, passion, and commitment. You make Silver Maples a vibrant and connected place to call home.

Thank you to the Chelsea High School Jazz Band for coming out to perform their spring concert for our residents! Such great sound and amazing solos! #jazzband @chelseami_hs

🌸 Heartfelt thanks to our local Girl Scout troop and Chelsea Village Flowers for bringing a burst of springtime beauty to Silver Maples! 🌸 The Girl Scouts generously donated their time to create beautiful fresh flower arrangements with our residents, and the flowers were lovingly donated by the wonderful team at Chelsea Village Flowers. Not only did our residents enjoy the laughter and connection shared during the activity, but they’re now enjoying the vibrant arrangements displayed throughout the Meadows. It was a beautiful example of community, kindness, and creativity in full bloom!

Wishing you a joyful Easter and a season filled with renewal. May spring bring fresh hope, meaningful connections, and a bright new outlook.

In the spirit of Easter, our residents and staff gathered to create these adorable bunny “welcome” door hangers. Each piece was full of color, personality, and joy—just like the people who made them! Crafting in a group setting brings more than just a fun final product—it encourages creativity, sparks conversation, builds connection, and fosters a real sense of community. Whether it’s sharing a laugh or lending a hand with a glue stick, these moments remind us how meaningful creativity can be when it’s shared. Thank you Bethany Sone from the Painted Owl for leading us in this super cute project!💛
