Senior Wisdom Wednesdays at Auburn Village: Real Advice from Real Lives
If you could pick up a magic phone and call back in time, what advice would you give yourself—or someone you love?
While that phone doesn’t exist (and probably never will), we have something even better right here with us: our seniors. The older adults in our lives are living, breathing time capsules. They’ve walked through decades of change, faced challenges we can only imagine, and gathered wisdom through years of trial, error, love, loss, and everything in between.
At Auburn Village, we’re lucky to call many of these incredible individuals part of our community. These are people who have built careers, raised families, chased dreams, and left their mark on the world in countless ways. Their stories are rich, and their experiences are priceless—and they’re eager to share them.
In a world where advice is just a Google search away, there’s something uniquely special about wisdom that comes from someone who’s lived it. With the rise of social media, our seniors now have a powerful platform to pass on their life lessons to other generations —something they might not have had the chance to do beyond their immediate circle.
That’s why we created Senior Wisdom Wednesdays—a series where our residents can offer advice, encouragement, and reflections drawn from their own lives. Whether it’s a simple reminder to be kind, or a deeper insight about love, perseverance, or finding joy in the little things, their words come straight from the heart.
At Auburn Village, caring for our seniors goes beyond meeting medical needs. It’s about honoring their stories, celebrating their value, and helping them feel seen, heard, and respected. Sharing their wisdom is just one way we help keep their voices alive—not just within our walls, but out in the world.
So next time you find yourself searching for advice or a bit of inspiration, don’t forget to look to those who’ve walked the path before you. You might just find exactly what you need.
