How retirement homes celebrate the holidays

Published

on

In retirement communities, every occasion is a good one to celebrate, but the winter holidays hold a special place in our hearts. That’s why we make every effort to help our residents enjoy the season. Here are a few ways we bring the magic of Christmas to the halls of our retirement homes.

Dazzling decorations
To start, we create a festive atmosphere throughout the building. Wreaths, twinkling lights, figurines, stockings, and more adorn the common areas. Residents who want to get into the holiday spirit are welcome to help decorate the tree.

Delicious food
For many, a lavish meal enjoyed in a good company is the pinnacle of the holiday season. That’s why our chefs work tirelessly to prepare traditional, mouth-watering dishes, from turkey and glazed ham to roasted vegetables and decadent desserts.

Lively music
In December, we invite a variety of local singers, musicians, and choirs to fill our halls and hearts with classic holiday tunes. Residents are invited to clap to the beat, sing along and show off their moves on the dance floor.

Fun activities
Our entertainment organizers are committed to adding joy and laughter to our residents’ lives. From holiday-themed crafts and games to Christmas markets and movie nights, there’s sure to be something for everyone.

During the holidays and throughout the year, we strive to offer our residents countless opportunities to socialize, have a good time, and create wonderful memories. Merry Christmas and happy 2021 to all!
