5 Hobbies to Start with Elderly Loved Ones in the New Year

If you’re working on your resolutions for the new year, consider resolving to spend more time with the elderly loved ones in your life! They’ll thank you for it and cherish the opportunity to participate in activities with you and your family.

With that in mind, here are 5 fun hobbies you and your elderly loved ones can do together this year:

1. Gardening

Gardening is a great way to connect with your elderly loved one. In addition to being healthy for them (mentally and physically), it offers an opportunity to create and grow something together.

Even if they struggle with limited mobility, the physical activity that gardening provides can help prevent or relieve symptoms of osteoporosis, some cancers, depression, Type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

2. Going to Concerts

Music is good for the brain, no matter your age. For the elderly, it can help improve their memory and concentration, as well as their mental health overall.

Many cities have performing arts centers that offer annual concert series. Some even host operas and classic musicals! Consider purchasing season tickets for you and your elderly loved one to relax and enjoy the music.

3. Game Nights and Clubs

Your town might have clubs that host game nights where your elderly loved one can play games like bridge or bingo. Assisted living facilities in St. Petersburg, Florida, for example, sometimes host events for both their residents and other elderly locals.

Consider learning some card games your elderly loved one knows, and see about scheduling weekly or bimonthly game nights!

4. Exercise Classes at Assisted Living Facilities in St. Petersburg, Florida

Exercise classes are another fun bonding opportunity for you and your loved one. However, the elderly are more prone to injury than younger people, which is why you should consider taking them to exercise classes specifically designed for the elderly.

For example, an assisted living facility (in St. Petersburg or wherever you live) may offer classes taught by fitness professionals specially trained in helping elderly people safely and effectively exercise. As a loved one, you might be able to participate too!

5. Book Club

Reading is a great activity for elderly people because it keeps their brains engaged while maintaining brain health. With that in mind, consider starting a book club with your elderly loved one. You can read the same book and then discuss it together! If their eyesight prohibits them from reading regularly, you can get them set up with an audiobook version.

Elderly People Can Still Have Fun

Wanting to start new activities with your elderly loved one is a great way to plan for your new year. After all, older people still can (and want to) have fun!
