Many of the monthly celebrations are fairly specific with how you observe the holiday in question. Bath safety month is clear cut, for instance. But others, like International Creativity Month in January might feel like a head scratcher at first. That’s the beauty of creativity, though. You can apply it in so many ways.
Explore Hobby Ideas with Your Senior
Has your elderly family member been feeling a little bored or cooped up lately? Exploring different hobby options is a great way to liven things up. There are so many different options for hobbies ranging from arts and crafts to knitting, dancing, and more. Your elderly family member might even make a hobby out of exploring hobby ideas.
Find Volunteer Opportunities in the Community
Volunteering in the community might not seem like something creative at first, but it really is. First, there’s creativity involved in choosing a way to help the community and to meet a need. Your senior might volunteer with schools or with the local library or a number of other places. She’ll also meet new people, which is a way to see how other people are being creative.
See if There are Ways to Apply Creativity to Your Senior’s Daily Life
Daily life can become rote for your senior very quickly. Routines are great, but they can also become stifling for some people. How could your senior’s daily life get a boost? Applying creative answers to that question can do a lot to make life a lot more interesting and fun for your senior family member.
Look at How You Can Creatively Solve Problems for Your Senior
You may need to use some creativity, too. Aging brings with it some situations that often need to be handled as creatively as possible. Are you running into difficulties getting everything done?
