Senior Care Activities For All Seasons

Activities for Seniors  |  December 11, 2019

What Every Senior in Vancouver, BC Needs to Know About Senior Activities All Year Long!

Senior Care Activities | Staying physically active becomes increasingly important to one’s overall health and well-being as people get older.

Family caregivers and professional care providers must work closely to develop a strategy of care that allows senior loved ones to take part in favourite activities and maintain a positive mental outlook through meaningful interaction.

Regardless of the time of the year, there are always opportunities for joyful moments ahead. We just have to adapt to the season, with a little bit of planning.

Senior Care Activities for Winter

The winter season brings many holidays, filled with opportunities to enjoy the company of friends, make preparations for numerous festivities, or help those in need and less fortunate. Many older adults enjoy:

• Holiday shopping, as it provides a great excuse to stay active and spend more time outside of the house.
• Singing, dancing, or listening to holiday carols.
• Spreading joy and holiday cheer by volunteering in soup kitchens, reading to children, or participating in charities.

Senior Care Activities for Spring

As spring brings warmer days, your senior Mom or Dad will most likely want to engage in a number of meaningful activities such as:

• Going down to the local gym or fitness center to participate in a low-impact exercise routine as recommended by their physician.
• Spring cleaning, aided by a family of professional caregivers.
• Making preparations for fun spring holidays like St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and of course, Easter.
• Awakening their green thumb and working on their garden.

Senior Care Activities for Summer

During the summertime, most seniors typically choose more laid-back activities. For example:

• Going to the local pool, usually in the morning or evening hours, when it is cooler outside.
• Those who wish to stay out of the sunshine altogether and avoid the negative effects of UV radiation can opt for activities in air-conditioned environments such as going to the local mall or hosting friends.
• BBQ events, picnics, and concerts in the park are just some of the great summertime activities to be enjoyed at any age.

Senior Care Activities for Fall

Popular autumn activities tend to focus on connecting with loved ones, enjoying the turn of the seasons, and spending as much time outdoors before the weather gets icy cold. Here is what we suggest:

• As the temperatures get more pleasant, fall is an ideal time to attend sporting events for seniors who like football, baseball, or hockey. Many sports facilities are made accessible for those with mobility issues too.
• Hiking in nature or taking long walks on a beautiful autumn day, appreciating the colorful fall foliage.
• Eating healthy is another activity that seems to be more fun in the fall – attending family dinners or Halloween celebrations are great opportunities to reconnect and socialize with loved ones.
