Fun spring activities for you and your loved ones!

1. Going for a Walk – One of the simplest and most enjoyable activities you can do with a senior this spring is going for a walk. Fresh air, sunshine, and a little exercise can do wonders for seniors’ physical and mental health. Plus, depending on where you live, you might be able to spot a few flowers and animals along the way!

2. Planting a Garden – Planting a garden is another great activity for seniors this spring. Even if space and mobility is a problem, a container garden can still be a great way to enjoy the outdoors and have fun with flowers.

3. Bird Watching – Senior living facilities and retirement communities are full of opportunities for bird watching! It’s a great way to get outside and get into nature, and it can be a great opportunity to socialize with other seniors.

A Happier Outlook!
It may surprise some, but studies show that seniors are among the happiest groups of people, and that they are significantly more happy than their middle-aged counterparts.

The author of a study on the subject, Dr. Saverio Stranges, says, “This could be due to better coping abilities. Older people tend to have internal mechanisms to deal better with hardship or negative circumstances than those who are younger.” Another reason seniors may also be happier is because age means that they are “more comfortable being themselves.”

"Wellderly Week is observed in the U.S. on the third week of March and this year it will be commemorated from March 18 to 23".

"Wellderly Week gives a new meaning to “acting your age”. This celebrations encourage seniors to pursue a passion, take up a new hobby, and do what makes them happy. It is a reminder that retirement years are an opportunity to develop interests that we were unable to pursue in our youth". - From National Today

Glaucoma Myths Debunked

MYTH #1: SURGERY CAN CURE GLAUCOMA

There is currently no cure for glaucoma. However, doctors can effectively use surgical procedures and other treatments to prevent or slow further damage from occurring.

MYTH #2: PEOPLE WITH GOOD VISION CAN’T HAVE GLAUCOMA

Most types of glaucoma will not have any symptoms, and people with good vision may not notice any symptoms until the late stages, which is why glaucoma is called the “silent thief of sight.

MYTH #3: NO ONE IN MY FAMILY HAS GLAUCOMA, WHICH MEANS I WON’T GET THE DISEASE.

While glaucoma can be hereditary, many glaucoma patients without a family history of the condition are diagnosed with glaucoma.

5 activities for staying at home during the holidays

1) Make a holiday wreath – these are fun and festive
2) Decorate and fill stockings
3) Make pomanders with oranges and cloves
4) Decorate the house
5) Prompt kids to ask about “the olden days” so they can learn about their grandparent’s youth (this is a great conversation starter for phone or video calls)
