Something for Everyone at The Maplewood

As the holidays come closer, our residents will be getting more and more visitors—of all ages. As the grandchild of a chronically ill person, I know what it's like to spend stretches of time visiting a long-term care facility. As a result, I am doing my best to have something for everyone at The Maplewood this holiday season. On “the big bookcase” at “the corner with the big windows” (where 3rd unit blue hall meets 1st unit north hall), visitors will find an assortment of books and activity items for friends and family of all ages.

Books for toddlers through adults are available, as well as puzzles of varying sizes. In the side table drawers, crayons, coloring books, and activity booklets will be hiding, waiting to be used by young and old alike. All of these items can be used either in a family member’s room, or in that open area right next to the bookshelf. All that we ask is that the items be returned to where you found them when you are done.

Wishes for a safe and happy holiday season—and visits!—from The Maplewood.
