The Autumn equinox is coming up, and with it brings a new season. Fall is one of the best times of the year, but it also brings cold temperatures, which can be a struggle for seniors. So it’s important to find activities for them to do that they will enjoy but then also ensure they’re wearing the appropriate clothing for the weather. In-home care providers can help them find events to attend, prepare for each activity, and then bring them there and back.
In-home care is one of the biggest helps for seniors aging in place safely. Your loved one can remain independent and enjoy the fall activities this year with the help of in-home care.
Here are some unique things to enjoy as a senior during the fall with in-home care assistance.
Fall Train Rides
Not all seniors can walk around easily. They should be getting out of the house to walk around, but if your loved one can’t move around for hours at a time and still wants to enjoy the fall scenery, encourage them to take a fall train ride. Your local train station may have round trips that allow a senior to sightsee and look at the foliage without overstressing their bodies. The nice thing about trains is that they usually have snacks for sale and bathrooms nearby. This is perfect for senior loved ones and can be something the entire family enjoys during the fall. Certain mountains offer train rides, and certain cities offer train rides, too. Find one near you to enjoy this season.
Fall Festivals
Autumn is the time for festivals. There may be Halloween festivals or something local with tons of activities. Your loved one can decorate Halloween cookies, eat fun fall snacks like apple cider donuts, or look through stalls for the perfect gifts to give away. The amazing thing about fairs and festivals is that the entrance fee is usually very cheap, and there are bathrooms everywhere and tons of places to sit. You can meet family members and friends here to enjoy the day. Start asking your locals what upcoming festivals are going to happen this fall.
Fall Baking/Cooking with In-Home Care
If your senior loves to cook or bake, it’s time to find fall-time recipes. This can include pumpkin, cinnamon, chai flavors, and more. There are tons of desserts, breakfasts, and even dinners that can include these flavors. Your senior may not love to cook anymore or need extra help, but in-home care can help prepare the space for your loved one to cook. They can chop up apples and bring out all ingredients that may be harder to reach. If your senior loves to bake but forgets about the oven often, this is another task that in-home care can help with, too.
Fall Scrapbooking
Autumn is known for some amazing colors and scenes. If your loved one wants a fall activity to help them remember each year, try to encourage them to scrapbook pages! Choose stickers that represent fall, cut out leaves, and choose colors that embrace the spirit of fall time.
