The COVID-19 pandemic reduced social activity for many people for a year or more. While lockdowns may have lifted in most locations throughout 2020 and 2021, many people made personal choices to remain at home or limit social interactions for their own safety.

Spring is a time of renewal. Whether you're a person of faith who loves the Lenten season leading up to Easter and all that means spiritually or you simply enjoy the warming of the world and the blooming of flowers and trees, it can be hard not to want some kind of fresh start during this season.

The cozy season is finally coming to a close in Ellisville, but that doesn’t mean an end to the reading season. It’s always a good time to find new books, especially faith-based books.

Memory Care
When warm weather comes around each year, people of all ages break free of cabin fever and start to explore outdoors. It's a great time of year to get more active, and more exposure to sunshine and exercise can be a great balm for a soul that might have suffered from winter doldrums. Here are nine ways seniors can add more movement to their days as spring warms up the world and the calendar moves toward summer.
Faith
At Bethesda Senior Living Communities, we like to take every possible opportunity to encourage our residents to deepen their relationship with God and grow in their faith. Keeping a faith journal is an excellent way to promote your own daily union with Christ. Perhaps you’ve never been much of a diary or journal keeper, and that’s okay! Keeping a faith journal should never be a strict, regimented or detached daily routine that you feel obligated to do. Reporting the ups and downs and comings and goings of your day is not the purpose of a faith journal (unless that’s something you want to include). Rather, it’s a tangible, safe place where you can workshop your walk with the Lord and record the lessons you learn from him as you learn them. Here’s a closer look at why you should have a faith journal and how to create and keep one.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or someone you love, our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you feel confident about what comes next. Fill out the form and a Bethesda team member will reach out shortly to help you find the right fit for you or your loved one.
