Silver Maple Residence

Silver Maple Residence sits on a peaceful, private property in Brainerd, with a second location at E Gull Lake, and it serves seniors who want to live as independently and healthily as possible as they age, and the staff's available around the clock, ready to help residents whenever they need it, whether that's with bathing, dressing, grooming, managing medicine, or getting to and from appointments. The community has a warm, cozy feel meant to provide individual attention so everyone feels at home, and there's a focus on personalized care, with plans suited to each resident's needs, whether that's for assisted living or memory care, and dedicated staff with training for both. Residents can bring their cats or dogs to live with them, and the atmosphere's one where people get to know each other, enjoy meals together, and visit in shared spaces like a dining room with an aquarium, a great room with a fireplace, or outside in the fenced yard, gazebo, or by the seasonal campfire. Silver Maple Residence keeps a full schedule, with daily walkabouts, art classes, bingo, exercise sessions, shopping trips, outings, live music, worship services, devotional activities, fishing trips, Wii bowling, coffee hours, card and board games, trivia, and both onsite and offsite activities, and a full-time activity director plans things out so there's always something going on. For health and safety, the facility has 24-hour RN support, medication management, care for diabetic, non-ambulatory, or incontinent needs, and support with oxygen and other daily care, plus laundry and housekeeping, with wheelchair accessible apartments and showers available. Transportation is offered for outings and appointments, and residents can get beauty or barber services right there. The staff strives to create a caring community that supports independence, privacy, and freedom, and there's strong commitment from staff and the administrator, Charity Bitzer, to help seniors at different stages of their lives, including those who need memory care or help with daily activities, and they offer respite stays too. Residents have access to a library, indoor and outdoor common areas, and laundry rooms, and there are regular guest meals and opportunities for socializing, making it a place where people look after each other and life can be both active and comfortable as the years go by.
