NATIONAL VISIT YOUR RELATIVES DAY
Today is May 18 and we encourage all family members to stay connected during National Visit Your Relatives Day. Life is much too short not to make time for family, especially for those we have not seen or spoken to for a while.
Sometimes it is hard when families do not live close. Often siblings, cousins, parents and dear relatives are scattered across the country. Our hectic life makes it easy to get caught up in the busyness of today’s fast-paced lifestyle. We often lose touch with our relatives. National Visit Your Relatives Day reminds us to stop for a moment and take some much-needed time to visit those relatives we care about.
WAYS TO OBSERVE
Spend time with your family.
Make a phone call to a family member you haven't talked to in a while.
Reach out to a family member you know lives alone.
Surprise a relative with a picnic lunch.
Have a live chat with family.
Use to post on social media.
Redwood Health and Rehab would love for you to visit friends and families within our walls and give them a moment that makes their day more special.
