Mother’s Day for Seniors

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching upon us. Not exactly sure what to do about it? Well, you might want to consider doing an activity with your mom rather than just purchasing a gift.

Here are some suggestions for indoor and outdoor activities…

1. Cook their favorite meal or get takeout from their favorite restaurant. Arrange the food on pretty plates or even china. Be sure to decorate the table with flowers and tea-light candles.

2. Enjoy a sparkling non-alcoholic “cocktail” as a way to fancy-up afternoon snack time. Add sparkling juice or bubbly water to lemonade, juice, or iced tea. Then, put it in a pretty glass that’s used for wine or champagne.

3. Stroll through the mall to shop or even window shop. Indoor malls have the advantage of being temperature controlled. Generally, malls have ample seating for taking breaks, plenty of snacks and drinks, and lots of bathrooms.

4. Art lovers may enjoy visiting a nearby museum. A good conversation starter is to ask them open ended questions about the pieces they like best.

Now, if you’ve tried any of these Mother’s Day activities with your mom and had success, we’d love to hear a positive ancedote! However, if you happen to need some extra convincing, then please feel free to join our senior community to connect and communicate with others.That way, you’ll be able to picture your mom’s reaction from others’ experiences. In the meantime, please like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram, plus check out our sponsorship opportunities if you’re a service provider.
