Experience Springwell

Aging is often viewed through a narrow lens, filled with outdated stereotypes and misconceptions. But this year, during Older Americans Month, we’re flipping the script on aging! Let’s take a closer look at the stereotypes surrounding aging, how they’re being dismantled, and the exciting new possibilities for older adults today.

As we age, taking care of our physical health is essential, but one area that often gets overlooked is brain health. Cognitive decline and memory loss are common concerns for seniors, and research has shown that, just like muscles, the brain needs consistent exercise to stay strong.

Engaging in lifelong learning is one of the most powerful ways to maintain mental sharpness, improve memory, and enhance overall brain health. The key is stimulating the brain regularly with new experiences, challenges, and skills. 

At Springwell Senior Living, we believe true wellness means caring for the mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach to well-being ensures that residents have access to a variety of programs and activities designed to promote a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.

We’re thrilled to share that Springwell’s Executive Director and Principal, Phil Golden, was recently featured in an i Advance Senior Care article!

In the article "Resident Satisfaction With Senior Care Is Up, According to a New Study," Paige Cerulli highlights how senior living communities are making big strides in keeping residents happy.

Transitioning to a senior living community is a significant life change, often accompanied by a mix of emotions. While the decision to move is often motivated by practical considerations like healthcare needs or downsizing, it’s the relationships and sense of belonging that truly shape the experience. At Springwell, we’ve found that fostering community and care makes all the difference in helping residents feel at home.

As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to embrace fresh opportunities and set meaningful goals. At Springwell Senior Living, we believe that every day brings the chance to discover something new, stay active and build connections that matter. For seniors looking to enrich their lives, our vibrant community provides the ideal environment to thrive in 2025 and beyond.

Family time is about creating moments of connection, laughter and togetherness. For families that span multiple generations — from little kids to older people — finding activities that everyone can enjoy is key to making those moments meaningful. Whether you’re gathering in person or connecting virtually, here are some inclusive activity ideas that prioritize being together and making memories.

At Springwell Senior Living, we believe in enriching lives through creativity and connection. That's why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Avila Art Makers exhibit series, a new initiative designed to bring stunning artwork and cultural vibrancy to our community. Our inaugural exhibit proudly features the work of Gretchen Ann Maneval, a celebrated Post-Impressionist oil painter and Baltimore native whose artistry has earned recognition from the U.S. Congress. Her self-portrait was displayed in the Capitol, and she was honored as a muralist for Johns Hopkins Hospital.  

Holidays have always been a time for family, friends, and beloved traditions that bring us closer together. But if you look back at the holidays of your childhood, chances are things looked a little different than they do now. Maybe your family gathered around a piano instead of a television, or the decorations were homemade rather than store-bought. Over the years, holiday traditions evolve, and while it’s natural to feel nostalgic, the changes we experience aren’t always bad—in fact, they can enrich our lives in unexpected ways.

Navigating Medicare can be a complex process, especially with the range of options available to beneficiaries. One of the most critical times of the year for those enrolled in Medicare is the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP). This period runs from October 15 to December 7 and is a time when Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to review and adjust their Medicare plans based on their current health needs and financial situation. Changes made during this period will take effect on January 1 of the following year. It’s an essential time to ensure that your Medicare coverage aligns with your personal healthcare needs.
