Seniors can find a lot of excitement and joy in decorating their homes for the holidays. But for seniors it can be tough to do extensive holiday decorating because of the physical nature of decorating. Standing on ladders, repeatedly bending down and stretching up to place ornaments on a tree can be too difficult for some seniors. If your senior wants to decorate for the holidays, but needs to modify their decorations, these tips and home care assistance can help:
Hire Someone For Outdoor Decorations
If your senior parent really wants to have the outside of their home decorated in lights and displays, hire someone to do it. It’s not safe for your senior parent to be climbing on a ladder or doing the physical work of stringing up lights and setting up displays outside in the cold. There are lots of local companies that specialize in putting up unique and festive light displays. And they will return and take all the lights and decorations down after the holidays are over so that you and your senior parent won’t have to struggle to take the lights down.
Peel And Stick It
There’s a whole universe of products that are made with easy peel and stick installation so that seniors can dramatically shift their whole holiday decorating plan at the last minute. Peel and stick tile, peel and stick wallpaper, even peel and stick floors can be used to help someone experience the transformative power of peel and stick products. And since they are designed to be temporary they are very easy to remove when the holidays are over.
Keep It Simple
Simple decorations can be just as beautiful as fussy and over the times out. If your senior loved one can’t create big holiday displays anymore a simple wreath, or a small tree, or even just ornaments hanging on ribbons can create a fun and festive area. When seniors are creative but also keep their ideas simple it can be a lot of fun to decorate the house for the holidays. Drag out some of the old decorations like lights and garland and help your senior loved one decorate for the holidays.
Get Support from Home Care Assistance
Home care assistance includes helpful services like laundry, cleaning, shopping, and making meals. When your senior loved one could use some help doing household tasks, some company for meals, and some motivation to keep exercising home care assistance is the best choice. Home care assistance can also offer mobility support for your parent as they move around the house, decorating the tree or putting up the stockings. Being there to help your parent with the activities they enjoy is one of the many benefits of home care assistance.
