Help with Aging Parents: Four More Ways to Make the Most of Visits – Part II
By Melanie Desjardins, Manager of Care Coordination at The Cedars
Have you ever thought, “What can I do with my loved one on this visit”? Well, here are some more ideas for your visit:
- 1. Go shopping from catalogs and/or the Internet and buy something new. Remember there is a computer located in the Life Enrichment room for residents to use.
- Play cards.
- Make a special scrapbook celebrating your loved one’s lifetime or show already-made family scrapbooks, etc.
- Read newspapers and magazines aloud to keep them in touch with the world. Reading the local newspaper is a great idea.
Remember, a visit doesn’t have to be long to be enjoyed!
