Beating Seasonal Depression in Seniors Shorter days and colder months can trigger seasonal depression, especially for older adults who may spend more time indoors. At Bickford Senior Living, we know how important it is to stay connected, active, and uplifted during this time of year. Simple steps can make a big difference: • Daily light exposure—even a few minutes by a sunny window helps boost mood. • Movement and activity—gentle exercise and engaging programs keep energy up. • Social connection—sharing meals, conversations, and hobbies reduces loneliness. • Routine and purpose—having something to look forward to each day supports emotional well-being. Seasonal depression is real, but with the right support and a caring community, brighter days are always within reach. If you’re noticing changes in mood or energy, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to help.
