ππ΅ Safe & Spooky: Halloween Tips for Seniors with Extra Peace of Mind π΅π
As the clocks go back and the nights draw in, Halloween can be a time of joy and connection, but it also brings increased risks around home safety. At Tunstall, we believe that spooky season should come with peace of mind, not worry.
Here are a few Halloween-friendly, safety-conscious ideas for older adults and caregivers alike:
π§ Offer diabetic-friendly treats
π¨ Paint pumpkins instead of carving for an easier and safer activity
πΊ Host a costume fashion show in your community centre or home
π§ Try Halloween-themed brain games to boost memory and have fun
πΆ Play music from the 1950sβ70s for a themed reminiscence session
π‘ PLUS: As evenings get darker, hereβs how you can stay safe at home:
π Install a Bogus Caller Button to discreetly raise an alert if someone suspicious comes to the door
π¨ Make sure smoke alarms are installed and functioning properly before lighting any candles or decorations
π Use personal alarms for immediate support during seasonal gatherings
π Enhance coverage with Sound Boost for better communication throughout the home
These thoughtful touches not only make Halloween festive but help ensure that safety stays a priority this season.
