Regardless of the religious beliefs of you or your loved one within their assisted living community or their memory care community, Easter is a good opportunity to welcome the spring season and engage in Easter-related activities. We hope that you’re planning a get-together this upcoming Easter weekend. If you’re looking for a few fun ways to put a smile on your senior’s face, here’s some simple things to consider.
Prep time
If you’re hosting the shindig, invite your elderly family members or friends over to help decorate, prepare place settings for guests or put the finishing touches on food offerings or dessert. They’ll appreciate the gesture and be pleased they get to lend a hand in planning something for the family.
Get crafty
Dyeing eggs and decorating Easter baskets is a fun pastime for many families. These are great, hands-on craft projects for seniors to partake in because there are no sharp tools involved and they are simple and easy. Helping organize an Easter egg hunt for the younger family members is another way seniors can contribute to the party. It also allows them to spend quality time with grandchildren, who they might not have the chance to see often.
Go to church
Many seniors may be interested in going to a local church service. If you’re not able to attend a church service, see if there are any senior services or music at a local community senior center. A day of singing and music can make the holiday special for your elderly loved one.
We Hope to See You This Weekend
Even if you can’t visit your elderly loved one in person, make it a point this Easter holiday to give them a call to catch up or pop a nice card in the mail to let them know they’re in your thoughts.
For those of you with a senior loved one residing within our Manor Lake Hoschton assisted living community or our Manor Lake Hoschton memory care community in Hoschton, GA, you can rest assured that they will experience a special Easter celebration this upcoming weekend. But nothing beats family, and they (and we) hope to share the celebration alongside you. If you can’t visit your elderly loved one in person, make it a point this Easter holiday to give them a call to catch up or pop a nice card in the mail to let them know they’re in your thoughts.
