Even when you know a move supports your health, safety, or peace of mind, the idea of packing up a lifetime of memories, saying goodbye to a longtime home, and stepping into the unknown can feel overwhelming. This isn’t just a move; it’s a profound life transition.

Choosing where to live is a major aspect of retirement planning, going beyond just amenities or space to focus on long-term peace of mind. Many older adults and their families are turning to Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), or Life Plan Communities, which provide a comprehensive living option that combines independence, security, and ongoing support in one convenient location.

At Chapel Pointe, we know that meaningful activities go beyond simple entertainment. They are a way to honor our residents’ pasts, celebrate their passions, and create new moments of joy. And sometimes, all it takes is a few tiny LEGO bricks to bring it all together.

As we age, we accumulate a wealth of experiences and insights that are often untapped by younger generations. Sharing these stories not only provides younger generations with valuable life lessons and perspectives they might not find elsewhere, but benefits older adults in many ways as well. Whether you’re doing so in a family or community context, here’s why taking opportunities to share your story with a younger generation can benefit everyone involved — and ways you can do this effectively.

Have you ever noticed that as the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, your mood takes a bit of a nosedive? You're not alone. Many people feel a little “blah” (or worse) during the colder months, especially in harsher northern climates. It's that time of year when getting out of bed feels a bit harder, and the couch becomes your best friend. But the good news is, there are ways to fight those winter blues and keep a positive mindset all year long.

As we age, our needs and preferences for living environments often change. Many seniors find themselves considering various options for long-term care, seeking not only safety and support but also a sense of home, community, and control over how they live their daily lives. The household model of senior living, sometimes called the small home model, is a growing trend that addresses these desires.

As we journey through life, the importance of sharing our abilities in impactful ways becomes increasingly evident. Using your skills in support of others not only helps them, but offers a wide range of health benefits for you. Here’s why giving your time to help loved ones and community is a win all around.

We all leave behind a legacy of one kind or another, intentionally or otherwise. Doing so with forethought and purpose is an important part of healthy aging. For Christians, leaving a legacy is more than just bequeathing material possessions. A Christian legacy reflects our faith and values, demonstrates stewardship, and can spread the gospel even after we depart from this earthly life.
