After more than two years of development, west Georgia’s newest 55+ community — The Birches on Maple — will officially open its doors on Nov. 14. Designed to meet the evolving needs of active adults, this life plan community sets a new standard for senior living in the region.

Backed by regional healthcare provider Tanner Health, this expansive 40-acre property offers an impressive range of living options and modern amenities, and access to lifelong learning, health and wellness services — setting a new standard for senior living in the region.

The Birches on Maple offers housing options to support the unique needs of each resident. The nearly 140,000-square-foot centerpiece — River Birch Place — features 136 units across multiple levels of care, including almost 30 memory care apartments, more than 50 assisted living apartments and 55 independent living apartments.

For those desiring more independence, the community features: 18 independent living duplex-style cottages — The Cottages at The Birches — and The Preserve at The Birches, a residential area that will be comprised of 83 single-family homes at completion.

Built to foster physical, social and emotional well-being, The Birches on Maple provides a wide range of amenities to support an active lifestyle.

Located just outside the community entrance, The Shoppes at The Birches is a developing retail area that will bring a range of convenient options to residents of The Birches and others, including restaurants, a nail salon, fitness center and more.

Tanner’s wellness initiative, Get Healthy, Live Well, brings health-focused classes and fitness programs to the community, emphasizing the importance of physical activity and preventive care. Additionally, The Birches on Maple community members and other west Georgia residents have access to an on-site medical clinic, Tanner Primary Care at The Birches.
