Valentine’s Day was earlier this month— and if you’re taking care of an older loved one, then you may be searching for a special way to show your love. Here are some ways to treat your senior!
- Buy or make them a Valentine’s Day card. Whether it’s something sentimental or sarcastically funny, find a card that suits your loved one’s personality and expresses how you feel or that will make them laugh.
- Bring over a sweet treat. Bring your senior loved one a couple of chocolate kisses to give a surprise boost to their day. If your loved one can’t have chocolate, then maybe you can make a treat with fruit or something else easy and homemade in honor of Valentine’s Day.
- Plan a small gathering. Invite a couple of family members or friends to visit your loved one for Valentine’s Day. If you have time, make it festive with Valentine’s Day decorations.
- Take your loved one on a Valentine’s Day outing. You don’t have to worry about overbooked restaurants on February 14th for this idea. Think about something your loved one would really enjoy, be it a walk in a park or a brunch, for example. Or, maybe your loved one would enjoy a scenic drive. Whatever you choose, you’ll help make for an unforgettable day.
- Send or bring flowers or a plant. Some people like the tradition of roses, while others prefer the practicality of a houseplant or a succulent. Think about what your senior loved one would enjoy, and get that special delivery to them.
- Watch a love-themed movie together. There are plenty of rom-coms and love-themed movies from which to choose. Here are just a few ideas: “An Affair to Remember,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “You’ve Got Mail,” Love Actually,” and “Casablanca.”
