Create a Festive Holiday with Help at Home for a Senior
The holidays are the busiest time of the year. For most people, this is the time to be surrounded by loved ones and enjoy the company of good friends. Aging seniors can often be forgotten during this time and this can leave them feeling left out, lonely and depressed. However, there are things that family members can do to keep the senior in their life happy and joyful during the holidays.
Plan ahead. If there is an aging senior in your life, plan to spend time with them during the holidays. Plan a holiday activity that will get them in the festive mood. Be sure to plan activities according to their mental and physical abilities. If you plan to have the senior visit your home, be sure to take time to create a senior friendly environment. Move furniture to reduce any risks of falls.

Decorate for the Holidays. Make preparations to decorate the senior’s home for the holidays. If the senior is living with you, also take extra steps to decorate and celebrate the holiday. Be sure to include ornaments or holiday items of the seniors to remind them of happy times.
Arrange a Family Gathering. Plan a family dinner during the holidays with the senior. Call family and friends to attend the gathering. The senior will love being around family and friends who they have not seen in quite some time.
