Senior Memory Care Provides Holiday Activities
Senior memory care center, Clover Care Home includes memory activities for seniors that enrich their lives and keep their minds as sharp as possible. One of the most difficult decisions a family can make is to place their loved on in a senior memory care facility. Thankfully for you, we strive to provide personalized services to meet the needs of each resident.
The activities that help stimulate memory include, but definitely are not limited to, things such as: walking, sorting, cooking together, taking scenic drives, looking through photos of events, family, and friends, keeping up to date by reading the newspaper, and singing. Routine memory stimulation helps keep memory loss minimal. Even though memory loss is normal in elderly years, our senior memory care in Kansas City life enrichment program has the tools and activities to help stimulate memory. We even include some fun holiday activities around all the major holidays. Some activities to help get your loved one in the holiday spirit include:
- Deck the Halls Together: Get the whole family in the holiday spirit by making holiday decorations and decorating your home, indoors and out!
- Bake Some Memories: Get everyone in the kitchen together to bake their favorite holiday treats! Make this experience even more extra special by using your loved one’s recipes.
- Have a Holiday Movie Marathon: Lots of families make a tradition to watch their favorite holiday movies together. Try picking some older flicks that might spark a pleasant memory for your family member.
Another easy holiday activity is to listen to holiday music. Music is well-known as a great form of memory therapy for seniors, especially those in senior memory care facilities. Music is often linked to memories and emotions and finding some of their favorite holiday music to accompany your gathering makes these moments extra special.
Holiday traditions and activities can be adapted in countless ways. Flexibility on your part can help ensure your loved one is healthier and happier, more active, and stays engaged. Whether you are able to visit along with the whole family or it’s just you alone, visiting and making holiday memories ensure your loved one isn’t spending the holidays alone.
