(Maris Grove)

Residents of Maris Grove, an Erickson Senior Living community located in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, recently made the holiday season a bit merrier for the community's staff by generously contributing more than $240,462 to the 2021 Staff Appreciation Fund.

The annual Staff Appreciation campaign is an opportunity for Maris Grove residents to thank the hourly employees who consistently go above and beyond to provide a variety of services that enhance the daily lives of residents.

Throughout the year, Maris Grove residents make gifts to the Fund. Each holiday season, the funds are then distributed among Maris Grove’s eligible employees, which include dining associates, security officers, maintenance workers, housekeepers, and medical and nursing assistants—just to name a handful.
