Learn how our home care providers are helping families and seniors in Longmont, Boulder, Louisville and surrounding areas in Boulder County, CO celebrate Thanksgiving safely during the pandemic

COVID-19 has changed just about every part of our daily lives and with Thanksgiving right around the corner, many families in Boulder County are worried about how they should coordinate their family gatherings for this year or even canceling them altogether. This can be extremely difficult for families given how little time they typically get to spend with their families each year.

At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, our team of professional home care providers are committed to help give your senior loved ones the ability to spend Thanksgiving with their loved ones while staying safe and continuing to follow social distancing protocol.

Make Thanksgiving Dinner Together

Making food for Thanksgiving dinner is a tradition in many households and most seniors have a few specialty dishes that the entire family looks forward to enjoying. However, many seniors are not able to handle the physical stresses of cooking anymore due to their age-related conditions.

Visiting Angels of Boulder County and our team of highly trained home care providers can assist your loved one every step of the process from meal preparation, setting tables and kitchen cleanup all while providing meaningful companionship every step of the way.

At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, our home care providers give the physical and emotional support that allow families to spend more quality time with their loved ones, which is something we could all benefit from whether it is in person or not.

Spend Quality Time with Your Loved One

Let’s be honest, we all love Thanksgiving food, but the real dessert is getting to spend quality time with loved ones and reminiscing over old memories and sharing stories. However, with COVID-19 still in full effect, we may need to make a few adjustments to the way we spend this quality time.

If you and your loved ones feel safe enough for an in-person visit, then enjoying a walk around the neighborhood or hiking on a local trail is a great way of getting to spend your time together. However, just make sure you are still following social distancing protocols and wearing face masks. However, for many of us, it is still too risky to see our senior loved ones in person.

Visiting Angels of Boulder County is a top-rated home care provider because our caregivers are constantly going above and beyond to find new ways to help families stay connected in the rapidly changing environment of 2020. For those unable to physically visit their senior loved ones, we can help your loved ones use video calling applications such as Zoom or Facetime to get a more personal interaction than a simple phone call through our Social Care program.

Enjoy Virtual or Socially Distanced Events

Unfortunately, many of the classic Thanksgiving Day events have been canceled this year and many families will have to change their traditions of attending or watching certain events. However, there are still a few fun options for those who are still able to meet in person.

At Visiting Angels of Boulder County, our team of home care providers believes families should still be able to enjoy quality time together without breaking social distancing protocols. Many musicians are opting to live-stream performances allowing you to sing and dance in the comfort and safety of your own house.

Another one of our personal favorites to recommend at Visiting Angels of Boulder County is visiting your local drive-in movie theater to binge-watch classic films and eat junk food. This way you can still enjoy an evening out with loved ones without having to leave your car.

If you think that you or a loved one could benefit from the care and support of our home care providers, then do not hesitate to reach out today!
