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.

A home is more than just a place to live; it’s a space where individuals find comfort, security, and a sense of belonging. For seniors, a home should also be a place where they can maintain their dignity, independence, and quality of life, even as their health needs change. In senior living communities, nurses play a pivotal role in creating this home-like atmosphere by providing personalized care and building trusting relationships with residents.

If there’s one thing Springwell residents really appreciate, it’s live music.

That’s why Springwell collaborates with the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University and welcomes a Musician in Residence to live on campus in exchange for showering residents with their artistry.

As we age, the daily grind of maintaining a home can become overwhelming — for both older people AND their children who help them. Choosing to live in a senior living community can help families make connection, learning, and fun top priorities, leaving the burdens of home maintenance behind.

Living in a senior community comes with many perks, but one of the most delightful is the opportunity to spend time outdoors—especially on such a lush campus as Springwell. The benefits of being outside extend far beyond enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery. From boosting your mood to enhancing physical health, nature offers a treasure trove of advantages. Let’s explore how embracing the outdoors can enrich your life.

The decision to transition to Memory Care is rarely straightforward. Rather, it’s a process that families need to navigate and evaluate for themselves, considering a multitude of factors. What IS clear about the process is the need to approach it with empathy, understanding that each person's journey with dementia or Alzheimer's is unique.
