Happy 4th of July from all of us at Silver Maples! Today we’re celebrating freedom, family, community, and all the little moments that make summer special. We hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, and joy-filled holiday weekend filled with good food, great company, and plenty of sunshine (and also staying cool)!
We got an early start on our Fourth of July celebrations! 🇺🇸 With temperatures pushing 100°, we brought the picnic indoors and enjoyed great food, patriotic trivia, and music from our favorite impromptu pianist, Cheryl Beauchamp. Wishing everyone a safe, fun, and happy Fourth of July as we celebrate America's 250th birthday! ❤️🤍💙

Every year, we celebrate something truly special at our Silver Maples 90s Party! 🎉 We honor our residents who are 90 years young and beyond with a fun theme (definitely not grunge! 😉), live music from Debbie Fogel’s incredible sextet, and an afternoon filled with laughter, dancing, and wonderful memories. Reaching 90 and beyond is an extraordinary milestone, and it’s a joy to celebrate these remarkable lives together. Here’s to our amazing nonagenarians and the stories, wisdom, and joy they continue to share! 💜 Can you guess our theme? 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 #parispartytheme #90spartu #silvermaplesofchelsea

“Being creative is not so much the desire to do something as the listening to that which wants to be done.” - Anni Albers Gallery 100 celebrates the lasting influence of textile artist and educator Anni Albers, whose innovative approach to weaving helped redefine fiber art and inspire generations of artists and makers. That legacy continues in our current exhibition, Juxtaposition, featuring quilted works by Charlotte Wyche. Through fabric, texture, and storytelling, Wyche’s work reflects the enduring power of fiber art as both a creative practice and a way of sharing knowledge across generations. 📍 Juxtaposition is on display through July 5 at Gallery 100. #CharlotteWyche #Juxtaposition #Gallery100
