Keeping your loved ones festive and happy for the holidays are important. One thing that you can do is add festive cheer to your loved one’s space. A holiday tree with keepsake ornaments that have been in the family for generations may spark memories in your loved one. Listen closely as they recall old times.

Ask about long-past experiences as they gingerly retell the cherished stories of their youth.

You can also decorate in stages, which gives your loved one moments to look forward to. Ensure the decorations you help the senior with are safe.

Some seniors have difficulty in controlling their bladder or bowel functions. You should use the right continence devices and change or clean them regularly to avoid the potential risk of infection. Consult your elder’s general physician (GP) to see if they have any special toileting needs.

Mobile phones are simple to understand technology for us, but they might confuse the elderly population. You should show your parents how easy it is to press the buttons or touch the screen to make a phone call or even be connected with others on social media. This is vital because sometimes emergency situations might occur when you are not with them. Knowing that they will call will help you feel secure.
