Play games and record family history moments with your senior loved ones Establishing a practice that can be shared with all generations creates an opportunity for families to share some of their favorite activities with one another. Many of us loved playing games with our parents and grandparents as it promoted fun. Take the opportunity of asking questions about their life and your family as it helped as it will allow you to experience moments of joy and appreciation for all they have been through and seen in life.
Practice random acts of kindness with your senior loved ones Visit and talk with your loved ones especially when they’re not expecting it. Drop by their home or assisted living community for a meal and conversation. Bring a deck of cards. Take them out for a surprise lunch at a favorite restaurant or take them to a local attraction or movie, even their favorite museum for a new exhibit.
In honor of National Senior Citizens Day, start a new tradition and keep it going all year long. Your families will be stronger and happier for it.
