Visiting senior friends and relatives living in Assisted Living communities is an excellent opportunity for children and grandchildren to bond with their loved ones. However, children can sometimes become restless during these visits, leading to boredom for both the child and resident. Therefore, it's essential to keep children engaged. Here are some tips:

Encourage Communication

Encourage children to communicate with the senior resident during the visit. Even if the child is hard to understand, most seniors appreciate the engagement. Encourage the child to share about their day, hobbies, friends, or pets. This helps to keep the conversation going, creating meaningful connection between the child and the senior resident.

This Sunday is Mother's Day! Our community is filled with so many mothers and maternal figures, and we are beyond grateful for them. These women have dedicated so much to their children and those that look up to and rely on them. Join us in showing them how special they are!
