July 4th Celebration at Maristhill

Maristhill's engaged community will enjoy a patio cookout this weekend, as our residents, their families, and members of our staff join together to celebrate the holiday.

Our patio is an ideal spot for enjoying the glorious summer weather, and for enjoying the company of family and friends. In addition, medical studies have consistently indicated that seniors who maintain more active social lives are happier and healthier...

Which is part of our mission here at Maristhill.

An Intergenerational Earth Day at Maristhill Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Children and elders collaborated to make Earth Day and Boston Marathon posters at Maristhill Nursing & Rehabilitation Center during an intergenerational program with St. Jude School.

 

Research has consistently shown that intergenerational activities are important to both the development of children and the quality of life of the elders.

 

Children bring noise—laughter, screams and giggles—and their physical presence completely changes the atmosphere, injecting enthusiasm, energy and youthful excitement. At the same time, residents are teaching the children about respect, understanding and celebrating other cultures.

Maristhill's Monthly Luncheon is a Resident Favorite!

Residents at Maristhill Nursing & Rehabilitation Center truly enjoy our Activity Department’s monthly luncheons. 

The luncheons, which are sponsored by Maristhill’s Resident Council Fund, give residents an opportunity to socialize, which research has shown helps promote both good physical and emotional health as well as cognitive function in elders. 

In addition, these luncheon's are a great opportunity for members of our community to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal – without the drive! 

A Busy St. Patrick's Day at Maristhill

While the Maristhill community is consistently engaged in a wide range of activities,  holiday celebrations are a favorite.

St. Patrick's Day is a good example. In addition to enjoying a round of March 17th trivia, a number of our residents also participated in St. Patrick's Day-related crafts. Then the day was capped off with an energizing and uplifting musical performance by Down East Revival.

It seems there is always something happening at Maristhill!
