and eggs any style, including omelets.
“Our Executive Chef Reyes Rodriguez is wellversed in a range of cuisine from American comfort
foods to international fare,” Karen said. “Not only is he
an artist with the daily menu, but he produces spectacular special events ranging from extravagant parties for more than100 to small dinners in our private
dining rooms. And if that’s not enough, he sculpts
masterpieces in ice for residents to enjoy.”

dining experience at Fredericka Manor.
“We listened to our residents and they told us
what they wanted in a dining experience,” said Karen
Woolsey, Fredericka Manor dining services director.
“We created a welcoming, relaxed and comfortable
atmosphere with more choices than ever.”

so many years,” Maggie said. “I decided to come
here because when I was a nurse here I remember the residents always seemed so happy and the
grounds were so nice and that hasn’t changed.
This is a jewel, an absolute jewel.”
On any given day Maggie can be found volunteering at the Bargain Box, the community’s thrift
store, exploring the shops and restaurants in the
nearby village, or seeking out new adventures at
Fredericka’s well-stocked library. “I can never seem
to leave the library without checking out a few
books or magazines. There’s so much to learn.” And
recently, Maggie demonstrated her skills on the putting green by making the most holes in one during
the community’s inaugural tournament. “Fredericka
Manor is a great place to live,” Maggie said.

hroughout her life, Maggie
Arveson has been inspired by many things.
In the 1930s a nurse who cared
for her mother inspired Maggie
to enter the profession. Later,
her husband, a U.S. Navy sailor, inspired her to help the war
effort as a nurse. And it was her
work at the Fredericka Manor Care Center (then
called Fredericka Community Hospital) in the 1960s
and 70s that inspired her to become a resident at
Fredericka Manor more than 10 years ago.
“When I decided to move from my home, my
family said, either come live with us or move into

Fredericka Manor is Home to Rare and Ornamental Trees

rom the bright yellow blossoms of
the Giant Thevetia and the majesty of
the Cape Chestnut to the simplicity
and strength of the California Buckeye, the
“fluffy” bark of the White Floss Silk, and the
brilliance of the Red Flowering Gum, Fredericka
Manor is home to dozens of rare and ornamental trees.
“We have quite the assortment of trees here,”
said Fredericka Manor Executive Director Craig
Sumner. “Over the years, many residents have
mentioned to me they wanted to know more
about the Fredericka landscape and in particular about our trees. Some of the trees have
been here for decades.”
Using a resident’s anonymous donation, Craig
recently had each tree on the campus catalogued
and evaluated by a certified arborist.
According to the arborist report, Fredericka
Manor boasts more than 500 trees on the
property including 54 different species, both
evergreens and deciduous.
“What’s interesting about Fredericka Manor
is that many of the trees there are not seen very
often in this area and some are no longer available at nurseries,” said Brad Brown, master certified arborist for the Bradley Consulting Group,
which performed the assessment. For example,
the Cape Chestnut is native to South Africa.
Following his assessment, Brad presented
his findings to residents and staff at a meeting
organized by the Fredericka Club, a popular
residents group.
“I was glad to hear the final report was so
positive,” said Fredericka Club member Steve
Conner. “Many residents believe our trees
and plants are important to the current and
long-standing beauty of the community and
we want to see them preserved and continue
to be well-maintained.”
