COVID-19 Second Booster Dose
The CDC recently released a recommendation for a second COVID-19 booster dose for certain persons. Specifically, a second mRNA booster dose could benefit people ages 50 years and older, as they are at increased risk for severe COVID-19. People ages 50 years and older may choose to receive a second booster dose, if it has been at least 4 months after the first booster. We recommend that appropriate residents receive their second booster dose. The COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) are available. Please let your physician or nurse know right away if you or your loved one would like to receive the second booster.

Dedication and professionalism
I cannot thank the staff enough for their dedication and professionalism in helping me get back on my feet. I fractured my hip while on a family visit to NJ (I’m from Florida). Not only was this a painful experience, it was also a scary time being so far away from home. I leave here now with so many positive experiences, and knowing that I made a full recovery.

Regained my strength to walk again
No matter what hospital I go to, I always get comments that the best Rehab around is Maple Glen. When I came I doubted I would ever walk again or be able to go home again, but thanks to the Nurses, Aides and Rehab I am feeling more secure with myself. I am so thankful to Maple Glen for helping me regain my strength and I am happy that I am able to return Home.
