As fall ends and winter takes over, we often spend more time in the comforts of our home. The activities we had done during the warmer months become challenging and often dangerous for older adults. It’s important to remember, just because the weather has taken a sharp decline, we don’t need to let our physical and mental health follow the same path. While it may take a bit more creativity to stay active and healthy, its completely possible!
What kind of activities can seniors do in Calgary?
- Walking at an indoor place such as the mall, Gym, or another dry indoor place. For a bonus, come walk at the Lake Bonavista Promenade and visit the Home Instead office for a Coffee or water!
- Play Cards at a local Coffee Shop
- Plan a baking day with your Care Professional! Our favourites are Pies and Cookies
- Visit the Calgary Public Library’s!
- Keep active with an at home fitness routine that meets your seniors’ physical needs
- Build a Puzzle!
- Go to the local Bingo Hall!
These are just a few ideas to keep your older adult active this winter! By having a Home Instead Care Professional we can help get your senior loved one to and from these activities. Plus, we will do them with the client so it’s more fun!
