One of our most read articles of 2025.
Nine Healthy Habits for Seniors was our second most popular blog post this year, and it is easy to see why.
https://hubs.la/Q03ZMSb10

The article focuses on simple, realistic habits that support aging well, staying active, eating nourishing foods, getting good sleep, staying connected, and continuing to give back.

These are not lofty goals. They are everyday practices that feel more achievable when you live in an environment designed around wellness, connection, and support.

At Sequoia Living, these habits are part of daily life across our communities, including The Sequoias San Francisco, The Sequoias Portola Valley, Viamonte at Walnut Creek, and The Tamalpais Marin.

If you are thinking about what healthy aging can look like, this article is a great place to start.

A new year invites fresh intentions, and one that always matters is staying connected.

Never Stop Connecting is part of daily life in our communities. It might be a friendly hello in the hallway, a chat before class, a shared walk outdoors, or a visit to Vierra Farms with neighbors who quickly become friends.

These moments add up. They bring ease, joy, and a sense of belonging that feels natural, not forced.

As the New Year unfolds, we’re grateful for the simple, everyday connections that make life richer, and for a community where connection is always within reach.

When Mike and Suzanne moved to , they didn’t expect how deeply connected they would feel.

“As long as we can accept where we are, then life will be rich.”

From crossing paths on campus to gathering in small groups and asking meaningful questions, Mike has discovered that community living is about more than proximity—it’s about truly seeing one another.

His favorite question?
“Tell me more.”

It’s how friendships grow, conversations deepen, and community takes shape.

The first time Mike and Suzanne ever saw The Sequoias Portola Valley, they weren’t visiting it. They were simply biking past. It was nearly 50 years ago. They admired the trees, the quiet hillside, and the open space, never imagining that one day it would become home.

A new year is a chance to lean into what matters most: Connection.

Never Stop Connecting is part of everyday life at Sequoia Living communities.
- A familiar face in the hallway.
- A quick chat before class.
- A shared walk outdoors.

In community living, connection isn’t something you schedule. It’s woven into your day.

Make connection part of your New Year.
