How Senior Caregivers Keep Older Adults in Boulder County Safe During Spring Activities

Your loved one in Longmont, CO can enjoy springtime activities safely thanks to senior caregivers from Visiting Angels

After a harsh winter, sunny days and warm temperatures are more than welcome and many seniors can’t wait to go outside and engage in fun, recreational activities. Nonetheless, many spring activities do come with certain risks for senior loved ones.

Helping Seniors Enjoy the Spring with Support from Senior Caregivers

That’s why our senior caregivers can help your loved one minimize health concerns and take full advantage of the warmer spring days ahead:

  • Many older adults often tend to avoid going outside and deliberately isolate themselves. This behavior can be caused by a number of age-related challenges such as loss of a spouse, loss of a driver’s license, poor vision or problems with hearing, balance and mobility issues, fear of falling, and so on. Your loved one can overcome these issues and feel safer when they are accompanied by a dedicated care provider.
  • Falling or sustaining a serious injury of any kind is a major health concern for most seniors. However, if Mom enjoys maintaining her garden or Dad likes carpentry work in his shed, you shouldn’t discourage her or him to stay active and engaged. The solution to this dilemma is a simple one – consider hiring professional senior caregivers from Visiting Angels of Boulder County who are trained to enhance safety in your loved one’s surroundings, work along with them and make sure they’re safe at all times.
  • Come springtime, most households undertake general cleaning of the house, backyard and garage. This year, you can use spring cleaning as an excuse to remove any excess clutter, fall-proof your loved one’s home and improve safety in and around the house.
  • Sufficient hydration is not reserved only for the summer – for older adults, hydration is an issue that needs to be addressed regardless of the season. Remind your loved one to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if they are spending more and more time outside. The National Institute on Aging recommends seniors drink a glass of water before going outside.
  • You can opt for hiring a professional home care agency if your primary concern is about your loved one engaging in many spring activities all by themselves. Our professional caregivers have years of experience in tackling these issues and can provide adequate support and invaluable advice on everything related to Mom or Dad’s well-being.

Once you’ve addressed these issues, Mom or Dad can get outside and safely enjoy numerous spring activities. Some creative ways for keeping your loved one happy and active this spring might include:

  • Gardening
  • Outdoor Yoga
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Fishing
  • Mini Golf
  • Parks/Recreation facilities

In case your loved one needs more support for these activities than you can give, they should by no means miss out on all the fun. Find a trustworthy caregiving agency like Visiting Angels that you can work with – senior caregivers can help Mom or Dad lead a happier, healthier, fulfilling lifestyle and significantly improve their quality of life.
