The holiday season is a time for family, celebration, and joy. At The Windsor Senior Living Community, we know how important it is to make moments special for both residents and loved ones. We know that getting everyone together can be challenging, especially for seniors with mobility issues or those adjusting to life in a senior community.
We are dedicated to offering solutions that make family gatherings easier and more enjoyable at our Covington assisted living homes… Here are a few tips to help you enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones!
Tip #1: Plan Ahead for Get-Togethers
Visiting your loved ones who live in senior living communities can be essential for their overall well being. Whether you’re close by or traveling, we have options to make your stay memorable. If you’re planning to visit family this holiday season, consider bringing the celebration to them. Take your relative out for a gathering at your home or even host an event within their private apartment space.
Celebrating the holidays at our Covington assisted living homes offers the perfect opportunity for residents to spend time with extended family. It is the perfect way to share in the holiday spirit while showing their family how they spend their days.
For those who live outside of the Covington area and cannot make the trip this year, don’t worry. Our staff would be happy to help support your loved one in setting up a video call or surprising them with a festive treat!
Tip #2: Honor Beloved Family Traditions!
Whether your family celebrates Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or another holiday, gathering with loved ones beautifully honors cherished traditions. It can help ease any loneliness or worry for seniors to enjoy something familiar in a new environment.
Visiting your family members at our Covington assisted and independent living community is the perfect way to celebrate together. Holidays at an assisted living facility offer opportunities to share traditions, exchange gifts, and enjoy each other’s company.
Tip #3: Combat the Winter Blues
Holidays, no matter which ones you celebrate, can sometimes bring feelings of loneliness for seniors. Seasonal affective disorder and seniors are unfortunately closely related to one another. Even a short visit can lift your loved one’s mood, brighten their days, and keep their spirits strong.
At The Windsor in Covington, we create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere that fosters connection during the holidays. Our activity calendar is filled with seasonal events and celebrations, so be sure to check out what’s happening in December!
Tip #4: Decorate With Joy
If you want to add a personal touch to the holidays, consider helping your loved one decorate their space. Not only will decorating liven up their space, but it will also aid in improving their mental health. Decorating has numerous stress reducing factors, which are essential for seniors to maintain a joyful spirit during the holiday season.
Artificial trees and battery-operated candles provide a safe and festive environment for any holiday. You can make decorating a fun bonding activity while ensuring your loved one feels included in the festivities.
