Senior Christmas Activities for Your Loved One!
Christmas and the holidays are right around the corner! Make sure your loved one celebrates the holiday season! More than 1 in 10 older people, experience depression (Health Direct, 2024). Furthermore, older adults are more likely to develop depression living alone. Also, more than 3 in 10 people living in residential aged-care develop depression (Health Direct, 2024).
Furthermore, seniors need daily activities and routines to keep them engaged. Follow along our twelve days of Christmas activities that we have planned for Seniors that live in Bakersfield and Kern County! Learn about our senior friendly activities to keep spirits bright!
