The Birches on Maple is transforming the concept of aging well by introducing senior-specific wellness programming with personalized health care. Through an exciting collaboration with Tanner Health's Get Healthy, Live Well, The Birches on Maple delivers a unique blend of fitness, nutrition and medical care empowering seniors to live longer, healthier lives.
Since launching in 2012, Get Healthy, Live Well has invested in communities across west Georgia and east Alabama, offering essential health resources and prevention-focused education. Now, residents of The Birches on Maple can benefit directly from these life-enhancing programs, bringing Tanner’s vision of a healthier future right to their doorstep.
“We are excited to bring Get Healthy, Live Well to The Birches on Maple,” said Tonya Fulks, outreach operations manager with Get Healthy, Live Well. “By offering our wellness resources directly to this community, we’re helping residents thrive physically, mentally and socially.”
The partnership with Get Healthy, Live Well ensures a holistic approach to well-being that integrates mind, body and spirit. From fitness classes – like yoga, tai chi, and strength and balance training – to wellness classes that focus on nutrition, mental health and personal development, the Birches on Maple offers a wide range of activities designed to promote active aging. Residents enjoy access to a cardio fitness center, group fitness room, indoor and outdoor pools, and a robust calendar of classes and events that encourage lifelong learning and healthy habits.
“We are committed to redefining senior living by creating a community where residents not only live longer, but also live better,” said Wayne Senfeld, executive vice president of behavioral health at Tanner Health. “Our collaboration with The Birches on Maple allows us to offer a broad spectrum of services and activities that cater to the diverse needs and interests of residents, ensuring they remain physically active, socially engaged and mentally sharp.”
Residents also benefit from Tanner Primary Care at The Birches — an on-site clinic that is part of Tanner Medical Group — ensuring convenient access to high-quality medical care.
“At Tanner Primary Care at The Birches, we focus on proactive, personalized care that supports residents’ overall well-being,” said Ruth Allison Griffin, FNP-C, a family nurse practitioner at Tanner Primary Care at The Birches. “Whether through routine check-ups, managing chronic conditions, focusing on prevention, or offering guidance on staying active and healthy, our goal is to help residents live their best, healthiest lives.”
