Minimalism, or the idea that less can be more, inspires people regardless of age to embrace cutting out the excess in life and getting down to what is really important. For some, that means reorganizing or donating clothes that don’t fit. For others, it may mean clearing out the garage and holding a tag sale. Organizing, downsizing, and donating what you don't need anymore is a good start when making the move to a senior living community. For more about minimalism visit:

Here's a list of our top five fall to-dos:
- Visit apple orchards and pumpkin patches: Going to support a local pumpkin patch or apple orchard is a great excuse to get the family together.
- Stay active: Rise with the sun and take a brisk walk or mild hike among the fall foliage, crispy air, and crunchy leaves.
- Get crafty: Fall’s natural palette can inspire the Monet in you! Sign up for an adult art class and explore your creativity.
- Explore a new hobby: It’s never too late to learn something new. Pick up a new hobby like photography, or audit some fall courses at your local university.
- Pay it forward: With Thanksgiving around the corner, it is a great time to give back to your community. Consider volunteering at a local soup kitchen!
Do you have a care plan for support as you age? Who will take care of you if your needs increase? More and more childless and spouseless seniors are facing isolation. Research shows that seniors like these are at a greater risk for having poor social support and becoming lonely, and loneliness is a predictor for functional decline.

Congrats to our resident Chuck Taylor!Our #CreativityAtCRC summer series has come to a close, but we are extremely grateful for all of the residents who shared their work! As a way to say thank you, each month we selected one resident as the recipient of a gift card - the winner was selected off of how many "likes" or reactions their post received. Congratulations to Chuck Taylor of The Holmstad, Elaine Clauson of Windsor Park, and Owen Wickstrand and Betty Crupi of Mount Miguel Covenant Village. These four residents earned the highest amount of likes and reactions for their art!
It's National Mental Illness Awareness Week - did you know it is estimated that 20 percent of people ages 55 and older experience some type of mental health concern (according to a 2008 study conducted by the American Association of Geriatric Psychiatry)?
