How In-Home Caregivers from Visiting Angels Westminster Can Help You Spend Thanksgiving 2020 with Your Senior Loved One

At Visiting Angels, our in-home caregivers can help families and seniors in Westminster, Broomfield, Northglenn and surrounding areas in Colorado safely enjoy Thanksgiving this year during the COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19 has changed the entire landscape of 2020 and the way most of us live our daily lives. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many families in Westminster and surrounding areas are worried about the potential risk of social gatherings, especially with their senior loved ones who may be at higher risk.

At Visiting Angels Westminster, our in-home caregivers provide quality physical and emotional support to allow you to spend more quality time with your loved one this Thanksgiving, even if it may look a little different than normal.

Make Thanksgiving Dinner Together

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner is a timeless tradition in many households and many seniors have famous recipes for sweet potatoes, stuffing and other goodies that family members wait all year to enjoy. Unfortunately, many seniors are unable to cook by themselves due to the physical limitations of their age-related conditions.

At Visiting Angels Westminster, our in-home caregivers assist with every step of the cooking process from meal preparation, setting the table to cleaning dishes afterwards while providing meaningful companionship the entire time.

Spend Quality Time with Your Loved One

Even though we can all agree the Thanksgiving feast is amazing, spending quality time with our loved ones is the most important part of the Thanksgiving tradition. This may be more difficult this year for those loved ones who live further away because of travel restrictions and safety concerns. Even family members who live nearby have to be careful when spending time with their senior loved ones.

For those physically able to meet, a walk around the block or a nearby park is a great option when it comes to spending quality time together. You can reminisce on old memories and share new stories from what is sure to be a year no one will soon forget.

At Visiting Angels of Westminster, we understand the importance of spending quality time with family members and are committed to helping families stay connected this Thanksgiving season. If you are unable to physically meet with your loved ones, our professional team of in-home caregivers can help you stay connected through our Social Care program. We help seniors use applications like zoom or skype to video call their loved ones, so they are able to have a more personal interaction than a phone call.

Enjoy Virtual or Socially Distanced Events

Unfortunately, many of the classic Thanksgiving events have been canceled this year, forcing families to adjust and find new traditions for this year. Many musicians are opting to live-stream their concerts and museums are offering virtual events to keep up their attendance.

One of our personal favorites at Visiting Angels Westminster is attending our local drive-in movie theater to binge classic movies all night with our loved ones while remaining in the safety of our own vehicle. This allows us to safely enjoy a night out with our loved ones while still maintaining social distance protocols.

If you think that you or a loved one could benefit from the services our in-home caregivers provide, do not hesitate to reach out today!
