Are you looking for different activities to keep your aging loved one active during these cold wintry months? You’re in the right place, keep listening..

On last weeks episode I talked about things we can go in the winter to help keep our aging loved ones safe from the different dangers winter brings, this week I’m going to be talking about things our aging loved one can do during the winter to keep busy and safe. Finding senior friendly activities is especially challenging when the weather has been cold and harsh for months and we are all cooped up in the house. Depending on what your loved ones mobility and health, the idea of staying active during months of snow, ice and cold weather can seem overwhelming. But don’t worry I have some creative, safe and meaningful activities they’ll love and you’ll enjoy too.

1. Knit, crochet or quilt

2. Cook together

3. Make “blessing bags”

4. Exercise

5. Video chat with family and friends

6. Join a book club

I hope these idea’s help you and your aging loved ones make these winter cold days a little better each day. Thank you so much for joining me this week while I talked about winter safety, join we next week for different winter activities for our aging loved one.
