Senior Friendly in-home Activities to Avoid the Summer Heat

Our senior loved ones need to engage in some fun activities to feel happy and relaxed.  A refreshing morning walk or gardening can help them feel refreshed and stress-free but the scorching heat during the summer season may make our senior loved ones unwell if they remain outside for a long time. Today, I am going to focus on some in-home fun activities for seniors that they can do to feel happy and stress-free.

If your senior loved ones have a passion for painting or doing some craft works such as making jewelry, potteries, etc, then encourage them. Arrange all the necessary things for them such as pencils, colors, art papers, and craft items, and always appreciate their work. This will make them happy and stress-free and they will also feel worthy as seniors often feel unwanted and unworthy. They can also sell their creations if they want to earn some pocket money.

Balcony Gardening can also help our beloved seniors feel relaxed and remain close to Nature in the comfort of their homes. You can help them by bringing flower pots, seeds, and other necessary items required for balcony gardening from outside. Your beloved seniors will be more than happy to grow vegetables and different herbs that they can use in their cooking. If you are availing of caregiving service from an Elder Care Service in Kolkata for your senior loved ones the assigned caregiver can help and encourage your senior loved ones to take up hobbies to feel happy.

Baking is also a great hobby to relax and time pass. If your senior loved ones have a passion for baking, then they can opt for an online baking course or can start baking cakes and cookies by watching YouTube videos. Your senior loved ones will love to design the cakes and bake different shaped cookies and cupcakes.  The fun fact is that you will also indulge yourself in some of their unique and sweet creations. Besides, if they love cooking they can also try their hands at it by cooking various dishes seeing YouTube or following a cookbook. This will make them happy.

Your senior loved ones can start writing if they have a penchant for writing poetries or short stories. This will help them feel refreshed as they will be able to express themselves well through their writings. They can also read novels and other story books to spend a relaxing time indoors.

These are some of the senior-friendly in-home activities that your beloved seniors can do to be happy and stress-free without going outside in the summer heat.
