A Taste of France at Silver Maples! We sipped, we savored, and we swirled our way through a fabulous afternoon of French wines from old, family-owned vineyards. 🍷💫 The wonderful Yvonne DeParis from Great Lakes Wine & Spirits—who knows a thing or two after 31 years in the biz—guided us through each pour with passion and expertise. The room was buzzing with great conversation and plenty of "oohs" and "ahhs" over each sip. Cheers to another fantastic event—santé! 🥂🍾 #WineTasting #FrenchWines

This week we had the pleasure of welcoming 11th and 12th-grade students who are enrolled in the 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘄 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘂𝗺 (𝗦𝗪𝗪𝗖) 𝗖𝗧𝗘 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺​ to Silver Maples! These future healthcare professionals practiced general, psychosocial, and health history interviews with our residents—helping them build essential soft skills before starting their clinicals in a skilled nursing setting. On their final day, they spent quality time with residents—going for walks, grabbing coffee in the Courtyard Café, baking treats, and playing games. ❤️ A special thank you to JoAnne Reynold, our VP of Human Resources, for sharing insights on the paid internship opportunity we offer and the value of volunteer experience in launching a successful healthcare career. We love supporting the next generation of caregivers! 💙 #FutureHealthcareHeroes #SWWC #IntergenerationalConnections #HereintheMeadows

Our new Crochet Club is stitching together fun, friendship, and creativity! Each week, 10-15 residents (and even a few staff members!) gather to crochet—some crafting cozy throw blankets, others picking up a hook for the first time, and many rediscovering a skill they haven’t used in years.

For those who can’t crochet, they’re making tie blankets to donate to the humane society—spreading warmth in more ways than one. 💕 It’s a wonderful blend of learning, laughter, and giving back! #HereintheMeadows #CrochetClub #StitchingMemories #HandmadeWithLove
🎭✨ Laissez les bons temps rouler! 🎶🎉

Creativity was in full bloom at Silver Maples! Resident Diane Coxford led a beautiful card-making project using pressed flowers, sharing her talent and love for handmade art. She generously provided all the supplies and guided participants in crafting their own unique floral cards—each one a work of art! 

Thank you, Diane, for inspiring us with your creativity and generosity.
Pasties & Beer with Chef Karl!

We had a packed house for our pasty cooking class with Chef Karl, who grew up as a true Yooper! He shared his favorite recipe and the secrets behind making the perfect Upper Peninsula pasty. To top it off, we paired these hearty hand pies with specialty beers for the ultimate UP-inspired experience.

Great food, great drinks, and even better company—what more could we ask for?  #YooperEats
💌🐞 Valentine’s cheer filled the room as the local Girl Scouts brought smiles and sweetness to Silver Maples! They hosted a heartwarming Valentine’s Day party, complete with adorable ladybug Valentines, fun games, smiles galore and plenty of tasty treats. ❤️🎉

A big thank you to these young leaders for spreading so much joy—had a blast with this young, vibrant group! 💕 #ValentinesDay #GirlScouts #HeartfeltConnections #hereinthemeadows
💖 Love was in the air—and on the menu—at our Valentine’s Mixer Dinner! 💕 Our community came together, dressed in festive shades of red and pink, to enjoy an evening filled with great company and incredible cuisine. 🍽️✨
 
From olive oil poached halibut with wild mushrooms to braised beef short ribs with roasted carrots, and a deliciously rich creamy polenta with wild mushroom ragu, every bite was made with love. ❤️
 
The evening concluded with lively entertainment by “Big Foot” Bob a talented Chelsea musician who played keyboard, saxophone, and sang. Many were seen tapping their feet, swaying to the music and even singing along at times, making it a night to remember! 🎶💫 

Here’s to friendships, laughter, and shared moments that make Silver Maples feel like home. #valentinesday
