How Can We Help Our Senior Loved Ones Feel Happy During Festival Time?

Festivals such as Durga Puja, Diwali, Christmas, etc are meant for enjoying with our dear family and creating beautiful memories that we can cherish forever. But,  many seniors who live alone after the demise of their spouses or after their children moved out due to better job prospects start to feel more lonely during these festive occasions.

Today, in this blog I am going to share some ideas that will help you make your senior loved ones feel happy during festival time.

⇒  If you live in another city due to your job, you can request leave during Durga Puja or Diwali to be home with your beloved parents to celebrate the festival with them.  Surprise them with gifts that they can use. Help them decorate the house for the festival. Spend quality time with them by watching a movie or simply talking. You can also go shopping with them and visit their favorite restaurant to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner. Invite some close relatives or friends of your senior loved ones to your home to make your beloved seniors feel more special and happy. Bake some cake and cookies or prepare some delicious dishes for your senior loved ones.  

⇒  If you are unable to visit your parents during festival time then call them (preferably Video call) to have a warm and nice conversation. You can also arrange a surprise outing plan for your beloved seniors during the festival time with the help of your relatives and friends back in your hometown. Don’t forget to send your beloved seniors some gifts and lots of love during festival time to make them feel better.

⇒  Last but not least, Elder Care Services in Kolkata conducts pandal hopping tours exclusively for senior people during Durga Pujas. They also organize picnics, tea parties, short trips, book club meetings, and many more recreational activities for the elderly every year to ensure the mental and emotional well-being of your senior loved ones. If you could not visit your parents during the festival time you can always contact an elder care service in Kolkata to make your senior loved ones feel happy and not left out and lonely during the festive time.
