It may be gray and rainy but at Birchview we are all about spring colors! Flowers are everywhere. Last week we dyed carnations in celebration of Holi. It was so cool to see them change color! This week we have painted tulips using unusual art mediums, taken a daffodil drive, and started on some spring planting. The flowers spark memories and bring smiles to our faces! 🌷 🌦️ 😄

Today is World Sleep Day! Sleep issues like insomnia may often have a trickle-down effect that dampens an older individual’s quality of life and overall mental and physical health. In our guide, we discuss common reasons why seniors experience insomnia, non-pharmacological strategies to improve sleep in older adults and insights into over-the-counter sleep aids.

Seniors need their sleep, but that can be a challenge as insomnia increases with age for some. Explore our list of the best sleeping aids for seniors.

A friendly reminder to all our residents, families, and team members: Daylight Saving Time begins tomorrow. While we do lose an hour of sleep, we’re gaining a whole lot of sunshine for our afternoon strolls and patio chats.

Pro Tip: Try to get a little extra sunlight tomorrow morning to help your body’s internal clock adjust to the change!

We’re looking forward to those longer, brighter days ahead with all of you. ☀️

Birchview Olympics! We enjoyed watching the Olympics so much we decided to host our own winter games. Mrs. Swenson's third grade class from Mary Purcell came to compete. From a scavenger hunt to shuffleboard, basketball to balloon racing the competition was fierce, but everyone went home a winner.

Valentines Bingo+ Friends= a lovely, laughter-filled afternoon! We love when our friends from Girl Scout troop 45420 come to visit. Did you know when a bridge is built between generations, both sides benefit! For our elders it boosts mental stimulation, reduces social isolation and loneliness, and improves their confidence and self-esteem while offering new perspectives. For our young friends it provides learning opportunities, boosts their confidence, and supports emotional growth while eliminating harmful stereotypes.

Keep an eye on our page to see more upcoming intergenerational connections!
