The Best Winter Activities to Do With Seniors
2
10 of the Best Winter Activities to do With
Seniors
  • Winter is a time of joy and warmth, good cheer,
    and festive shenanigans. Above all else, its
    supposed to be a time of celebration and family.
    Unfortunately, it can alsot67g be a time of
    loneliness and isolation. This is especially true
    of seniors who have lost relatives or dont see
    their relatives often. Wintertime can also be
    hard because of the potential safety hazards
    posed by the cold
  • While some extra precautions may be necessary, we
    want to make sure that the seniors in your life
    get to experience that holiday magic with the
    rest of us.

Homemade Treats
01
  • Holiday baking is a beloved pastime that can be
    enjoyed by people of all ages, but seniors, in
    particular, might enjoy some extra time in the
    kitchen because of the special memories theyve
    made over the years. Perhaps they liked to help
    their parents and children make cookies, or they
    have a special family recipe but no one to share
    it with. If the seniors that youre caring for
    arent able to safely handle kitchen equipment
    you can bake some holiday sweets on your own, and
    then decorate them together.

4
Light Yoga
02
  • Wintertime can also be very stressful, and yoga
    is proven to be effective in managing stress,
    anxiety, and blood pressure. There are many
    different types of yoga, including gentle and
    light exercises that some seniors wont find too
    taxing. While theres nothing inherently
    wintery about yoga it is a good way to stay
    active indoors.

5
Encourage Visits
03
  • If the senior that youre caring for has friends
    and family who are able to visit, try and
    facilitate a visit maybe even make it a
    surprise! Put together something fun like a game
    night or a gift exchange. If no one is able to
    visit in person, set up virtual visits through
    video chat instead.

6
Knitting, Crocheting Sewing
04
  • Winter is the perfect time of year to make a new
    scarf, pair of socks, sweater, or blanket. Why
    not make one together? Needle craftwork is both
    physically and mentally engaging, which is always
    a bonus. These winter activities always yield
    something practical, which is nice for seniors
    who struggle with hoarding tendencies, and the
    end result creates a sense of accomplishment that
    seniors might not enjoy as often as they could
    when they were younger.

7
Scrapbooking
05
  • Winter is also perfect for scrapbooking because
    its a way to share precious memories together
    while creating new ones. Scrapbooking is one of
    the best senior activities that you can do
    together in general because it can help seniors
    with memory problems, and it keeps the creative
    muscle strong.

8
Tour the Neighbourhood
06
  • Winter is also perfect for scrapbooking because
    its a way to share precious memories together
    while creating new ones. Scrapbooking is one of
    the best senior activities that you can do
    together in general because it can help seniors
    with memory problems, and it keeps the creative
    muscle strong.

9
Winter Wonderland
07
  • While youre at it, take some time to enjoy the
    natural scenery during wintertime. Just remember
    to keep the car warm and stay bundled up to keep
    seniors comfortable and safe during your
    adventures. Sometimes theres nothing more
    breathtaking than snow-speckled trees, endless
    fields of white, and watching the gentle snowfall
    together. Even beaches can be a fun spot to check
    out in the winter especially if they have a
    boardwalk.

10
Winter Business Attractions
08
  • Even if the neighbors arent going out of their
    way to get festive and colorful, plenty of
    businesses and other hotspots will. Many of these
    winter attractions have both indoor and outdoor
    activities that caregivers and seniors can enjoy
    together.

11
Build a Snowman
09
  • If you want to have some outdoor fun at home then
    theres always the classic winter activities,
    like snowman building. Its simple, doesnt
    require a lot of energy or heavy lifting, and
    isnt very time-consuming that means less time
    spent out in the cold. If nothing else, youll
    have someone to give that newly made scarf and
    mittens to.

12
Enjoy Hot Chocolate
10
  • End the day with a nice mug of hot cocoa to warm
    the body and soul. If seniors need to be careful
    about sugar intake there are plenty of sugarless
    alternatives that caregivers can look into. When
    all else fails, find out what their favorite
    flavor of tea is and brew enough for two.
  • Winter can be a challenging time for seniors and
    their families to navigate due to the cold
    weather and busy holiday season. Fortunately,
    Family Always First Home Care can provide
    caregivers with the resources they need. FAFHC
    can help ensure that hardworking caregivers are
    fairly compensated for their time and efforts.
