5 Ways to Keep Your Loved Ones Safe & Supported This Season
The holiday season is a beautiful time for connection, family gatherings, and reflection. But for many seniors,especially those managing chronic conditions, mobility limitations, or living alone, it can also bring challenges.
From colder weather to disrupted routines, this time of year requires extra attention to their safety and well-being.
At Avery Cares, we believe every senior deserves a warm, healthy, and supported holiday season.
Here are five simple but effective ways to help your loved ones feel cared for this month, right from home.
1. PRIORITIZE MEDICATION & HEALTH ROUTINES
With family visits and busy schedules, it’s easy for seniors to fall out of their daily routines. Ensuring medications, therapy exercises, hydration, and meals stay consistent helps prevent health complications.
How we help: Avery Cares caregivers assist with medication reminders, health monitoring, and routine management… so nothing is missed during the holiday rush.
2. KEEP THE HOME SAFE & COMFORTABLE
Holiday decorations are lovely, but they can also create tripping hazards or clutter that affects mobility.
Tip: Keep walkways clear, ensure lighting is bright, and check heaters or blankets to prevent cold-related issues.
HOW WE HELP: Our team provides mobility support, fall-prevention assistance, and daily living help to keep seniors safe at home.
3. ENCOURAGE SOCIAL CONNECTION
Many seniors struggle with loneliness at this time of year. Even small acts of connection like talking, playing games, or cooking together can lift their spirits.
HOW WE HELP: Our companionship care offers emotional presence, conversation, and genuine human connection.
4. SUPPORT HEALTHY EATING
Holiday foods are enjoyable, but seniors often need balanced nutrition to manage conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or frailty.
Tip: Include meals that are warm, nourishing, and easy to digest.
HOW WE HELP: We support meal prep, grocery runs, hydration, and nutrition reminders.
5. GIVE FAMILY CAREGIVERS TIME TO REST
The season can be overwhelming for family caregivers managing both holiday activities and care responsibilities.
HOW WE HELP: Our respite care services provide short-term support, giving families time to recharge while their loved ones receive professional, compassionate care.
