Tanner’s Birches on Maple Puts Health and Wellness at the Heart of Community

At The Birches on Maple, community, comfort and wellness are woven into daily life, creating a holistic and fulfilling experience. Tanner Health and Linco Development envisioned a place where every resident could thrive, so the community was designed with ample greenspace, a courtyard, walking paths, an outdoor pool and access to the Carrollton GreenBelt, giving residents a wealth of ways to stay active and engaged outdoors. The community's beautiful outdoor spaces encourage walking, cycling and other low-impact activities, creating a safe environment that supports physical activity while connecting residents with nature.

"Having easily accessible, safe spaces for physical activity right on site is invaluable, said Josh Chapman, president of Linco Development. "It empowers residents to embrace active lifestyles, fostering both physical health and mental well-being in a secure, supportive environment."

For year-round fitness, The Birches on Maple also features extensive indoor amenities, including a cardio fitness room, an indoor pool and rooms for group classes. These indoor options provide flexibility, allowing residents to stay active despite any outside weather conditions.

Residents can also have peace of mind knowing medical personnel are nearby thanks to the onsite clinic, Tanner Primary Care at The Birches.

"The presence of onsite medical services is vital for our residents," said Ruth Allison Griffin, FNP-C, nurse practitioner at Tanner Primary Care at The Birches. "It encourages them to engage in physical activity confidently, with the reassurance that help is always near."

The focus on physical health at The Birches on Maple also brings cognitive and mental health benefits. Research shows that regular exercise can boost memory, improve mood and enhance cognitive function - principles that guided the community's development.

"Our mission has always been to build a community where health and happiness go hand-in-hand," said Wayne Senfeld, executive vice president of behavioral health at Tanner Health "Every pathway, wellness class and program here supports residents in living healthier, fuller lives."

Beyond physical fitness, The Birches on Maple takes a comprehensive approach to wellness. The community offers a robust lineup of social events, lifelong learning opportunities through local partnerships, and wellness workshops that enrich residents' quality of life. This integrative approach enhances social connections, mental engagement and overall well-being.
