An Arboretum Committee at Maple Knoll Village was created when a group of residents saw a need to protect existing trees on our campus, increase the selection and diversity of species, and improve planning, standards, and care for trees. Gifts to the Arboretum Fund will go towards preserving this natural environment for residents’ health and wellbeing.

Our employees are vital to making our campus the unique family environment that it currently is and one way to support this outstanding group is through The Employee Engagement Fund, formerly known as The Good Samaritan Fund. These funds can be used for Emergency Support, Education, and Employee Appreciation. This could be assistance with funeral expenses for a loved one, rent, utilities, etc. It can also be directed towards helping an employee further their education, such as becoming a nurse to meet the needs of those in our care.

The Future Care Fund, a benevolent care program, acts as a voice for others and allows for our over 1,200 residents to live a life of peace and security. People today are living healthier and longer lives. Even when everything seems to be in order, people can still outlive their financial resources. The Future Care Fund provides for the care of residents who, through no fault of their own, need help. The assistance goes beyond the basics of senior care. It offers residents peace of mind and preserves their dignity, security, physical and emotional needs for the remainder of their lives.

Services ensure that over 850 nursing residents a year maintain their dignity and pride no matter what level of nursing they may require. Insurance and Medicaid reimbursements do not cover the entire cost of care for each patient. Last year, we had $3,600,000 in total costs of healthcare in excess of reimbursements. Donations can be directed to necessary equipment or programming costs for those sending a signal for assistance.

Spiritual Life continues to be a major focus, and benefit, for our residents, staff and families. A gift to the Spiritual Life Fund can be used for necessary equipment in the Maple Knoll Chapel and to enhance programs and services such as counseling, grief support and more across our campuses.

The sustainability fund is a resident driven team which works with Maple Knoll Communities administration to become a greener and more sustainable community. Their efforts have included expanded recycling, usage of eco-friendly products, technology ventures, exploration of solar power, geo-thermal uses, sustainable gardens, electric vehicles and more. Gifts to the Fund will assist the Sustainability Team in paving the way for preserving the environment now and for future generations of Maple Knoll residents.
