Has your loved one seemed more fatigued and less social in recent years? Finding an exercise program or class tailored for seniors can be very beneficial. Many retirement communities and local parks have options, and it’s a perfect way for them to meet others of their age range, socialize and keep their bodies healthy.
Take a look back.
What activities did your parents do that you don’t see them participating these days? Find options to help them continue their old hobbies with their convenience in mind. For example, if your mom loves reading but has a harder time with it these days, maybe introduce her to audiobooks.
Go for a stroll.
It’s simple, but effective. Making a routine out of taking a trip around the block can work wonders for an aging parent’s health and mental state. Frequent walks allow them to get some fresh air, potentially meet the neighbors in their community and keep those legs moving together!
There are many ways to help your aging parents remain independent and keep an active, healthy lifestyle. However, recognizing if they need help or are struggling with day-to-day tasks is the first step.
Let us help.
