Celebrating the Holidays with COVID-19

  2020 has been a year of so many challenges, worst of them being COVID-19.  Now we are into the holiday season and looking forward to seeing family and friends, albeit with COVID-19 protocol firmly in place (social distancing, masking, and hand sanitization). But what about those many seniors that will be facing Christmas alone? They may live independently in their own home, a retirement facility, assisted living, or a nursing home, but the loneliness haunts them all the same. Aware Senior Care has put together a list of 15 ideas to help brighten this group’s Holidays. Below are few of those suggestion;

1 –    Send a handwritten note and/or a picture drawing from your children

2 –    Schedule a video call with their family and old friends

3 –    Be a volunteer for Meals on Wheels

4 –     Send a movie and microwave popcorn to enjoy

5 –    Purchase a few small gifts and surprise them with a “Porch Party Drop”

6 –    Develop a routine to stay connected (Probably the most important)
