Because the planters are 44″ high, they are easy for our senior clients and their caregivers to maintain and harvest.

Activity Ideas for Caregivers on Valentine’s Day

Friday, February 12th, 2010

For the caregivers of Home Care Assistance of San Diego, any holiday creates a terrific opportunity to come up with new fun themed activities that seniors will enjoy. The holiday doesn’t have to be about romance, but it can be about friendship, family and fun. Here are some idea for activities:

  • Try some craft project like homemade cards, decorations, or knitting or crocheting. Get into the spirit!
  • Spend time with family – encourage calls to family and friends.
  • Collect the family reciptes – if you care for a senior who is no longer cooking, ask them for their favorite recipes.
  • Check to see if the local senior center or community center hosts a Valentine’s Day activity. A bingo hall may have a themed nights for Valentines Day.
