The winter holiday season is a joyful time of year meant for family get-togethers and creating memories with loved ones.  A senior loved one may feel the stresses of keeping up with the festivities and may become overwhelmed with the decorating duties.  Especially if your loved one had always been the Clark Griswold of the neighborhood, their increasing frailty may be frustrating.  Many elderly individuals take special pleasure in decorating for the winter holidays.  Nothing says the holidays like driving through a neighborhood of homes shining with brightly colored lights, decked out in garlands and wreaths.  Inevitably, one house always goes all-out with inflatables:  snowmen, angels, snow globes, stars, and more.  It’s December, and as the immortal lyrics of The Christmas Song says, we’re all just kids from 1 to 92. 

When families live a long distance from their elderly loved one, they may worry about their safety when they are unable to give them the assistance they need.  Professional in-home help for seniors and elderly provides your elderly loved one with companionship and help tackling the daily chores of their household.  When light housekeeping, vacuuming, laundry, grocery shopping and other daily tasks are handled, your loved one can spend their time visiting friends and family.  There is less of a chance of food going bad in the refrigerator with an extra set of eyes keeping things in order at your loved one’s house.  There is less of a chance your loved one will be injured in their home due to injury over a misplaced object. 

Somehow, it’s already November.  The year is rounding out to a close really soon.  On November eleventh, we will celebrate our nation’s armed forces on Veteran’s Day.  This is the day to pay tribute and honor those who have sacrificed their time with their families and their lives to protect our great country.  Many of our senior loved ones have served in the military at some point in their lives.  While it should be a daily practice to thank a veteran, it is especially important on this national holiday.  Simply saying “thank you” is a small gesture that surely is appreciated.  Post a message on a social networking site to thank our veterans.  You never know who may come across that post and just needed to hear those words.

The temperatures are officially dropping.  The need for a coat or extra layer of clothing in the evenings and early mornings is becoming unavoidable.  The days are getting shorter and chilly nights are growing longer.  While light layering may be fine for dressing for most people, some elderly are more easily chilled with lower temperatures and might need to think about wearing more clothing during cooler fall days.  If your elderly loved one is taking any medications that thin their blood, they likely to feel cold more often than not.  With winter fast approaching it is best to prepare elderly loved ones with proper clothing for dressing for cooler weather.

October is known for breaking out the pumpkin spice and fall harvest time.  More recently, October has also become more commonly known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Breast cancer has claimed many lives, both male and female, so it is important to help shed light on ways to detect, prevent, treat and hopefully cure the disease.  

With the summer season behind us, our day-to-day life resumes and routine schedules are honored.  If you have school-aged children, it’s time for helping with homework assignments and dinner meal preparation each weeknight.  Life can get pretty chaotic during the school year.  This is the time of year that may make visiting elderly loved ones on a regular basis nearly impossible.  If distance makes a visit difficult, a quick phone call to say hi or a gift of flowers “just because” will make your loved one feel special.  If you are concerned that your loved one is spending too many hours alone, there are options for affordable in-home care to provide much needed daily companionship.

Our grandparents are so unique and special, that a holiday was created specifically to honor them. Grandparent’s Day is celebrated yearly on the first Sunday after Labor Day. This year, Grandparents Day is on September 8th. This is a yearly holiday was created to celebrate the connection of our eldest family members. This holiday is perfect for taking your grandparents out for lunch and a movie. Some museums are offering free admission; this could be a wonderful way to celebrate together.

The beginning of the New Year seems to be the best time to arrange for a regular checkup.  Schedule the dentist appointment, physical, and eye exam.  Having the right vision prescription is especially important for seniors to prevent falls and other sight-related accidents.  Regular dental checks are key to mouth health and will prevent any other health complications. 

A year’s end has always been the perfect opportunity to create a fresh step forward into the New Year.  Many take this time to create achievable goals and work to reach full potential.  Our goals don’t have to be physical to be important.  Take this New Year and fresh start to create more memories with those we love most and make that time together the most important part of each week.
