🧠💚 Today is World Mental Health Day — a perfect reminder to check in on yourself and your loved ones.

As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, many people — especially seniors — begin to feel the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), often called the “winter blues.”

At Traditions of West Chester, we’re here to help brighten those shorter days. Through social connection, engaging activities, nutritious meals, and a warm, supportive community, we make every season feel a little lighter and a lot more joyful. 🌤️

Learn more about recognizing the signs of SAD and how community living can make a difference in your loved one’s mental and emotional well-being.

A listening ear can spark a memory! 🫂✨
Leah CRD spent a wonderful time connecting with our Varietas friends, sharing smiles, stories, and laughter. She even learned that Miss Gail, one of our residents, started Vineyard-church just from a simple phone call to California! Sometimes it’s the small conversations that create the biggest memories. 💛

Autumn is a season of change. Among the ever-changing colors of the leaves, cooler temperatures, and endless pumpkin spice-flavored treats come the wacky and wicked decorations of the so-called “spooky season.”

Click below for some suggestions from our memory care experts for safe activities for seniors with dementia that allow your loved one to be part of the holiday celebrations.
