As a leading provider of in-home care in Westminster, Denver, Broomfield and surrounding Colorado communities, Visiting Angels strives to improve the quality of lives of seniors in our care. We want to ensure that members of the older generation are able to age at home and spend their golden years doing things they love. This is why August 21st is so important to us. On this day, people across our country celebrate National Senior Citizens Day and everything that seniors have done for America.
A Cherished Holiday
We understand that National Senior Citizens Day is not as popular as other holidays such as Mother's Day or Father's Day, but at our agency, we find it equally important. This holiday has been celebrated every year for over three decades, since 1988 when Ronald Reagan signed it into law with a presidential proclamation. The words of that proclamation are still true and important decades later:
"For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute."
Ronald Reagan also said that Americans should do their best to ensure that the communities we live in are good places in which to grow old. As a provider of professional in-home elder care, this is surely a sentiment we can get behind.
Celebrate in Style
The best way to celebrate National Senior Citizens Day is to spend it with your senior loved ones. Many venues offer various discounts for older adults on this day, so take your parents or grandparents out for a nice meal or go shopping at the Westminster Promenade.
It's summer, so why not spend time with your loved one outside? They'll appreciate the fresh air and beautiful natural surroundings. If your loved one enjoys golfing, you can play a round at the Legacy Ridge Golf Course or Adventure Golf & Raceway. You can also enjoy a nice stroll down the Farmers' High Line Canal Trail or check out the butterflies and other small creatures at the Butterfly Pavilion.
On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with staying in. Surprise your loved ones with a home-cooked dinner, spend time with them playing their favorite games, watching old movies, going through family albums or simply listen to their stories. Show them that you care and your loved ones will surely appreciate your gesture.
