Help a Senior Citizen to Enjoy Christmas
2

• Christmas is probably a time to spread and
  receive joy and love. You spend time with family
  and friends enjoying good food, gift exchanges
  and making happy new memories.
• Unfortunately, for some people Christmas is a
  time of sadness. Many senior citizens who live in
  retirement communities or who live in homes of
  their own, do not have many relatives or friends
  to celebrate the holidays with them.

• Imperial Club provide the right amount of
  personal care to allow for a healthy and active
  lifestyle-all in a wonderfully caring
  environment.  If searching for assisted living in
  Hallandale, Hollywood, or North Miami, look no
  further than Imperial Club.

• On this day, open the doors of your heart and
  your home to an elderly neighbor. We all know
  someone in the neighborhood who lives alone and
  does his/her own chores. Such people do not cook
  festive meals because there is no one to share it
  with. Make extra room on the dinner table and
  make them feel a part of the family.

• Help a senior citizen in your neighborhood to
  decorate for Christmas. Offer to help your
  neighbor put up his Christmas tree. If he needs
  help purchasing a Christmas tree, you can take
  him to a local tree farm or even pick out a
  beautiful tree for him. Spend an afternoon
  decorating your neighbor's house so that he can
  enjoy the season with a fully decorated house.

• Around Christmas there are a lot of community
  functions or plays in children's schools. Ask if
  he/she would accompany you to such a function.
  This way they would get a chance to get out of
  the house and get in the holiday mood. Seeing
  lights and listening to music will lift their
  spirits.

• Determine if a nursing home accepts Christmas
  gifts for residents who do not have family. They
  will often have a list of items that the
  residents need. Create a gift basket with these
  items. Try to think of a fun gift as well that
  you can include in their holiday basket. Do not
  buy candy and other treats without checking with
  the community's staff. Some residents have
  diabetes and other health conditions and can only
  eat certain treats.

8

• Go Christmas caroling at a local continuing care
  community. Take your children with you as well.
  Children can bring a smile to the faces of older
  individuals who are feeling lonely at Christmas
  time.
• Sing your favorite holiday songs as you walk up
  and down the halls of the retirement community.
  Encourage the residents to sing along.

9

• Have family members sit and talk with them to let
  them know how much they are loved. Hang stockings
  in their room of the family and friends that will
  be spending Christmas with them.
• Fill their stocking with their favorite treats,
  such as a favorite perfume, cologne, or a special
  piece of jewelry.
• Your loved one may want to give gifts to their
  friends. Help your love one make gift bags for
  their friends.
