Coming from all walks of life and circumstances, the residents of Silver Maples have formed a strong community and are eager to help others through a life transition they all share. When asked if there was any advice they could give those considering a move like this, most emphasized the move should be made sooner rather than later.

If you’re considering moving to an independent living villa or apartment, Silver Maples offers a VIP Wait List program to provide a smoother transition. The program includes monthly dinners with current residents, special outings, and a complimentary stay in their two-bedroom Silver Maples VIP Suite. The program allows those interested in living at Silver Maples to get to know the current residents and experience the community firsthand—giving them the opportunity to establish friends before moving in.

“A move, regardless of where you go, is a process,” says Christina Kim, Director of Marketing at Silver Maples. “We find that this process on average takes roughly 18 months, much like transitions people make in their younger years. The key is to start investigating options well before you think you’re ready to consider a move. You’ll know when the time is right.”
