Holiday Spirit Runs Deep… All the Way to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade!

Anna Smith — who supports both our Culinary and Finance teams — has been part of the 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝘆'𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲 since 2011. Now that's a seriously cool Thanksgiving tradition!

It all began when a family friend (and fellow hot-air balloon enthusiast) recruited her dad to help pilot the giant balloons. When Anna was old enough, she and her mom joined the fun and eventually the whole family started working the balloons together.

If you know Anna, this won’t surprise you one bit — she always goes “all in” for our holiday dress-up days at Silver Maples, so of course she shines in the biggest parade of the year!

Her favorite part? Sharing this tradition with her parents and watching the crowd’s faces light up as they come down the streets of NYC.

We love that Anna brings that same joy and festive spirit to our community every day. Thanks for sharing your photos and this amazing story, Anna! ❤️🦃

Yesterday was International Men’s Day, and what better way to celebrate than lunch in the Bistro — just the guys! 😄 Sometimes it’s great to kick back, swap stories, and enjoy time with the fellas… no agenda, just good food and good company.

Our guys love their weekly Men’s Coffee with Jeff Crowder, our chaplain, where donuts disappear fast, conversations take fun turns, and laughter is a guarantee. They chat hobbies, big projects, life moments — and occasionally solve all the world’s problems before 11 a.m.

They’re also always up for an adventure. From visiting their friend Brook as he built (and now flies!) his own plane, to exploring the Kalamazoo Air Museum, the Ford Rouge Factory Tour, and grabbing impromptu lunches, this group stays busy and connected.

Here’s to the men of Silver Maples — keeping spirits high, friendships strong, and fun at the forefront. 💙

Giving Back, Together 💜
We got a head start on holiday giving this year — our community showed up in a big way!

Residents and staff donated pantry staples, cleaning supplies, diapers, and other high-need items for Faith in Action’s food distribution program.

Thanks to the generosity of our caring community, families in need will feel a little extra support this holiday season.
Thank you to everyone who contributed — your kindness truly makes a difference!

♻️ National Recycling Day is this Saturday, November 15!

Yesterday, we kicked things off early with a special visit from Beth from FarmSudz, right here in Chelsea. If you’ve ever been to their shop, you know Beth—her amazing smile, deep product knowledge, and of course, her signature blue hair make her unforgettable!

Beth joined us for a presentation hosted by our 3R’s Committee, sharing practical and inspiring ways to reduce waste at home. She highlighted simple swaps like shampoo and conditioner bars, refillable laundry detergent and cleaning supplies, and the company’s commitment to using compostable and recyclable packaging whenever possible.

She also worked with our committee to create a fantastic hallway display near our dining rooms to showcase sustainable products and easy steps we can all take to be better stewards of our environment.

We loved having her here at Silver Maples—and we’re grateful to our 3R’s Committee (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) for continuing to educate, inspire, and champion greener living in our community. 💚♻️

🥂✨ Celebrating 28 Years of Silver Maples! ✨🥂

Each November, we embrace the season of gratitude and raise our glasses to honor Silver Maples’ remarkable years of service to older adults.

At the heart of our success are the relationships we’ve nurtured: between residents and staff, families and caregivers, neighbors, and friends. These bonds are built on trust, compassion, and shared purpose. As our CEO beautifully reminded us, it’s the dedication of our staff and the spirit, stories, resilience — and yes, even love — of our residents that make Silver Maples truly special.

A highlight of the evening was recognizing residents and team members who have been part of our community for 15+ years, celebrating the commitment and heart that have helped shape Silver Maples into the vibrant, caring community it is today.

The celebration continued with a gourmet dinner in our beautiful dining rooms, where laughter mingled with memories and the connections that turn neighbors into family. Cheers to 28 incredible years! Together, we’ve created more than a community — we’ve built a legacy of love, support, and shared stories that will continue to inspire for generations to come.

Today, we gathered for a moving Veterans Day program led by Chaplain Jeff Crowder, with beautiful music provided by our Silver Maples & Friends Choir. Their voices filled the room with “American Anthem,” “My Country ’Tis of Thee,” “America the Beautiful,” and “God Bless America” — each song a reminder of the deep gratitude we hold for those who have served.

Chaplain Crowder shared a meaningful prayer, reminding us that while we can never fully repay the courage and sacrifice of our veterans, we can strive each day to show our appreciation through love, respect, and gratitude.

We closed with a group photo of our Silver Maples veterans — a powerful image of pride, service, and unity. 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. Your bravery and dedication inspire us all.
