Make Your Senior Relative's Last Christmas at Home Special

Christmas is just around the corner. If this is your senior loved one's last Christmas at home, there are a few ways to make it special for them. Fortunately, Senior Helpers Alle-Keske Valley has put together a list of ways to make this Christmas memorable for everyone involved.

Make Sure They Are Included in Their Last Christmas at Home

Wherever Christmas dinner is hosted, make sure senior relatives feel included. It can be easy to get distracted by other conversations, setting things up, cooking, or dealing with other holiday happenings instead of spending time with your elderly loved one. If they want to help, try to find something small for them to do or hold a conversation with them while others prepare the festivities. When it comes to holiday activities, be sure to include things they can join too. A little fun can go a long way!

Bake Some Christmas Cookies

Who doesn't love Christmas cookies? They're fun to bake, decorate, give away, and eat! If a senior loved one is up for it, try baking some Christmas cookies together to give away to friends and family, or to enjoy at home. No matter what, baking cookies together is a great way to bond during their last Christmas at home. Other holiday treats to make include brownies, cake, candy apples, or even chocolate. Peppermint bark is easy to make too!

Remember the Good Times

Another great way to make this last Christmas at home special for your senior loved one is to reminisce about previous years. Things change so much each year, and it's important to remember each holiday for what it was. So, sit down with friends and family with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and chat about the past.

Do Some Christmas Crafts

Doing Christmas crafts isn't just for little kids; adults can have fun with it too! Grab a few friends and family members to try making some paper snowflakes or Christmas tree ornaments together with your senior relative(s) for a fun-filled day.

Go See Christmas Lights

During the holiday season, there are so many places to go to see Christmas lights. Check out the Christmas tree lighting in town, go to a drive-thru light show, or roam the neighborhood to look at the neighbors' decorations. There are certainly going to be beautiful lights to see all around town!

Decorate the Tree Together for Their Last Christmas at Home

Putting up a Christmas tree with a senior loved one can be a great way to make the holiday special. Take them to pick out a live tree and new ornaments. Then, decorate the tree together to spend quality time with a senior loved one during the holidays.
