Winter Wellness – Avoiding the Seasonal Blues

While winter brings a lot of happy things – holidays, warm beverages, favorite traditions, brilliant light displays – it also can bring not-so-great things as well. Many people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) during the winter months, which leaves them feeling fatigued, lethargic and – sad.

Finding Purpose During Your Senior Years to Get the Most Out of R...

Purpose is something that drives all of us throughout our lives. When we’re young, our purpose is finding our place in the world and shaping the direction of our lives. In middle age, our purpose can be composed of a variety of things, such as being a good parent, building a career, being a spouse and partner.

Creating New Friendships in Senior Living

Making new friends is a skill that changes throughout our lifetime. As kids, it’s oh-so-easy – run up to someone in the playground, ask “wanna be friends?” and that’s that. Throughout all our life stages – college, employment, having kids of our own – we come into contact with others in the same situation or same stage of life, making it easy to become acquainted with new people. But when it comes time to move into a senior living community, many older adults still worry: will I be able to

Think back to when you were younger, having big dreams and making plans for what you wanted to do once you retired. Maybe you thought you’d want to start a new hobby, forging a new career path or something else entirely. Now that you are retired – or are almost retired – are you still excited about those dreams? Or are you feeling a little anxious about breaking out of your routine and comfort zone? “Humans are creatures of habit, and the idea of breaking out of our regular routine is both
