Creating a “World Citizen” Mindset
At Brandermill Woods, lifelong learning creates a broader view of the world. Residents expand and grow through travel lectures, film studies, and culinary adventures with the Dinner Diners and Lunch Bunch clubs. The monthly Men’s and Women’s Clubs welcome interesting speakers and fresh perspectives while outings to places like museums, manor houses and gardens help cultivate our curiosity. Being a world citizen means staying open, engaged, and actively celebrating community — near and far.

More Sunshine for Longevity
As we spring forward on March 8 and welcome longer, brighter days, it’s good to remember that sunshine is an important part of overall wellness. In addition to nourishing meals, regular exercise, and quality rest, we invite our residents to get outside for some fun in the sun! Research suggests that just 15 minutes of sunshine
can help the body produce vitamin D. Try a brisk morning walk or a relaxing after dinner stroll along our friendly walkways or nearby walking trails. Consider it your daily “vitality stroll” and a key step toward better health.

Shared experience and understanding with resident support circles. Our support circles foster a sense of community and hope, and they are vital for some of our residents. They provide a safe haven and a judgement-free zone where people dealing with grief or medical diagnosis can build new connections with others who truly “get it.” In these circles, people can share practical advice, coping strategies, and build resilience. Our residents are never alone with support circles like the Parkinson’s Caregivers, the Mending Hearts (Grief), the Alzheimer’s Caregivers Support, and the Movers & Shakers (Parkinson’s). Check the calendar to get details on the next meeting.

Faith, connection, and well-being Religion and spirituality play an important role in supporting purpose, community and stress reduction. Studies show that spiritual engagement is linked to greater life satisfaction, deeper meaning and stronger social connections — especially as we age. We’re proud to support our residents’ spiritual journeys with a variety of on campus and nearby opportunities. On campus, Father Paul from St. Edwards Church’s holds Catholic Services, Reverend Matt Bean from Redeemer Lutheran Church leads a service, and residents can sing along to hymns of praise each week in the meeting room. Additional opportunities include special celebrations at The Brandermill Church, weekly non-denominational Christian Book Study and other special spiritual and religious services throughout the year. The activities calendar has all the information!

Keep those synapses firing today with crosswords, bingo, Pokeno, or Wii bowling! Did you know your brain has the amazing ability to “rewire” itself at any age? It’s called neuroplasticity, and at Brandermill Woods, we’re keeping those connections strong every day! We know that even at 90 your brain can sprout new branches (synapses) and reorganize its paths (neural networks). It just needs the right environment to do so. That’s where our activities calendar comes in. Try something NEW like a pottery
class, line dance class, or tai chi. Understand that the beginner “clumsiness” that you might feel is just your brain growing. Challenge of the month: Try doing a simple task (like brushing your teeth or holding your coffee cup) with your non-dominant hand. It might feel silly, but it’s a “workout” for your neurons!

If you think biohacking isn’t for seniors, think again! We believe that “biohacking” is just a modern name for what we’ve always known: Small, intentional habits lead to a vibrant life. It’s not about high-tech gadgets; it’s about giving your body the edge it deserves. Our residents are proof that leveling up is easier with all the amenities and services available. At Brandermill Woods, biohacking looks like mindful, healthy eating and staying hydrated to keep energy levels at peak. It looks like quality rest and sleep schedules for recovery It looks like gentle movement to keep joints moving and muscles strong. And it looks like social connection and community activities to keep the heart young. This isn’t just a

What Can We Learn from Centenarians?
Author Dan Buettner, in partnership with National Geographic, studied regions of the world where people regularly live to 100 — known as the Blue Zones. These include parts of Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Japan, and California. The common lifestyle factors include natural daily movement, a strong sense of purpose (ikigai), simple stress relief rituals, mostly plant based eating (and stopping at 80% full), deep family ties and social circles, and connections to faith or community. These practical lessons demonstrate how lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on aging. At Brandermill Woods, these simple Blue Zone principles come to life every day through connections, purpose and active living.

It’s Never Too Late to Learn Something New.
Continuing education and learning new hobbies are linked to cognitive health, emotional wellbeing, and social connection.

This popular place offers much more than education, it’s also a place to play bingo, bridge and spades and enjoy monthly luncheons in a community of lifelong learners and friends.
