Enjoying the Holidays with Your Erie Senior

Making the Holidays a Happy One with Your Erie Loved One


The holiday time of year should be one full of joy and excitement. The air is turning crisp, magic is in the air, and it is a time to share special memories with loved ones. This may prove difficult for some Erie caregivers who have senior loved ones with memory loss.

One way to fight this feeling of dread or discouragement is to try new things. Create new traditions. Sometimes trying to recreate memories from years past prove to be more discouraging than encouraging, so try new activities or visit new venues than you have in the past. This way, you are exploring new places and experiences with your Erie loved one.
