How to Make Thanksgiving Special for Seniors in Assisted Living Communities
With assisted living, you can spend Thanksgiving basking in the company of loved ones and immersed in the joy of a family-oriented assisted living community. Here are a few suggestions to make the most of a senior Thanksgiving:
- Get intergenerational – Spending time with people outside of your age group has a multitude of health benefits and can be a lot of fun. Whether partaking in an activity together or simply enjoying a conversation, intergenerational gatherings are an incredible opportunity to cultivate open-mindedness.
- Handmade cards – Draw, collage, write, and fold. Making homemade holiday cards is not only a fun and creative pastime, it can bring incredible joy to the folks you are most thankful for. It’s also a great way to use old magazines and calendars with interesting pictures. Multiply the joy by making cards with visitors (especially youngsters) to exchange or mail later.
- Puzzles and games – Alone or together, from crossword to jigsaw to solitaire to bingo, the benefits of games are numerous. They can offer a platform for social enjoyment, provide a hearty laugh, and strengthen your brain all at once.
- Watch a parade or movie – Thanksgiving Day parades are always a festive experience and will put you in the mood for celebration. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a classic. You may have or want to find a local parade to enjoy. Watching old favorites or taking in the new blockbuster movies are great holiday activities.
- Attend a show – Whether it’s an off-Broadway production, stand-up comedy, or the local children’s chorus, enjoying a show is good for body, mind, and soul. With the support of assisted living, traveling to and from is easy.
No matter the activity, make the holidays in assisted living even more special by expressing all that you’re grateful for.
