Assisted Living
When winter frost is melting and the brightness of spring returns, it's the ideal time to refresh your home. Bethesda Senior Living Communities understands how vital it is for senior residents to be in a warm, uplifting atmosphere. Here are some ideas to make your apartment more fresh and exciting.
Faith
Prayer is a powerful spiritual tool. It can help believers focus on God and understand his will for their lives. Jesus modeled an active prayer life during his ministry on earth, and the four Gospels record him praying often for himself and his followers.
Faith
Older adults of faith may be familiar with daily Bible reading habits or other forms of Scripture study. Depending on their faith practices through the years, they might also be quite familiar with parts of the Biblical text. If that describes you, that familiarity might work against you when you engage in Bible study or reading. When you've read something so many times in your life, it can be hard to look at it with a new perspective, which can be required to understand what God wants to teach you in a certain season of life.
Faith
Memorizing scripture might take you back to your youth, when you committed passages to memory for church groups or as part of family Bible study. As an older adult, remembering scripture engages your brain and could help keep your cognitive functioning sharp. It also helps you strengthen your relationship with God and gives you tools to deal with challenging situations. Try these tips to improve your scripture memorization.
Health & Wellness
Somatic therapy links what we think with how our body reacts. It's based on a belief that when people have a traumatic experience, it often results in a physical reaction in their bodies. For example, when something traumatic happens, people often get hot, start sweating, feel muscle tension or get a headache.
Health & Wellness
A terminal illness affects not only the person who has it but also their loved ones and caregivers. If you find yourself navigating the terminal illness of a loved one, you might not be sure where to start. You're balancing your grief with the needs and emotions of the person who received the diagnosis. These tips can help you provide the best possible support through the journey.
