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:

With the autumn breeze comes beautiful leaves, and plenty of senior-friendly activities to keep you active and involved in the greater community. 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!
Windsor Park recently hosted a lecture on Parkinson's and medication effectiveness, organized by the @MovingDayChicago Parkinson's Foundation. The lecture explored the fluctuating effectiveness of medication and the best strategies to reduce and deal with the "off times." Thanks to all who attended, as well as Jessica Bartsch, the Parkinson Foundation Community Program Manager. Special thanks to the lecturer, Dr. Cindy Zadikoff, who is an Associate Professor of Neuroloy & Medical Education at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, a “Parkinson’s Foundation Center of Excellence.”

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.

Adult children aren't the only ones who can oversee your medical and financial care in older age.We'd like to give a warm welcome to our new Fitness Director, Candace Anderson! Candace completed an internship at Windsor in 2016 while she was earning her bachelor's degree in kinesiology, after which she earned her master's degree in exercise physiology. We are happy to have her back and our residents are too - just look at how many people were in her seated exercise class today!
This is my class! 🙂 and Candace is great.

Congrats to our resident Elaine Clauson!!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!
We presented Windsor Artist Elaine Clausen with her award for getting the most Facebook “likes" in August! We surprised Elaine with the recognition at a watercolor class so that Elaine would get her surprise with an audience of fellow Windsor artists! Congrats, Elaine!
