What Every Family Caregiver Needs to Know About Safe Senior Activities for Every Season!

Activities For Edmonton Seniors. No matter how young or old we are, we need to be active and participate in activities that we like. This is what makes our lives more fulfilling and gives us joy and something to look forward to.

Some activities may become challenging as we age, but seniors must take part in those activities they particularly enjoy. According to studies, seniors who are physically, mentally, and socially engaged are healthier, and are less depressed or lonely.

Fortunately, there are now more opportunities than ever for seniors to engage in senior-friendly activities. It is just a matter of teamwork between the family, caregivers, and health professionals to come up with a plan that lets older adults take part in activities they love.

Activities For Edmonton Seniors: Winter

Some of the most popular activities in winter are:

• Holiday shopping is both a physical activity and an opportunity for bonding with family or friends.
• Listening to music, dancing or playing instruments, allows seniors to have some fun when they are unable to go outdoors due to bad weather. These are also good activities for older adults with mobility issues.
• Volunteering, lets older adults stay connected with their community and give back to the less fortunate.
