Bakersfield Seniors’ New Year Resolutions:
As a new year begins, it is time to consider New Year Resolutions! Make 2025 a memorable year for your loved one’s! Life is a gift! Let’s cherish every moment together.
-
Get Active.
Physical fitness is an important aspect for your loved one’s health! Furthermore, a routine can help keep your loved one engaged. Be sure to keep active with a simple routine! Exercise for 30 minutes with chair exercises. Also, please watch the video for exercises. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJNW-ChhTvg
-
Eat Nutritiously.
Maintain a healthy diet! It is especially crucial to maintain a healthy weight. A simple egg salad sandwich can provide crucial nutrients, such as protein. Also, make sure to visit the website for more sample recipes. https://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/18053/lifestyle-diets/healthy-aging/
- Keep your mind active and show your creativity!
Be creative with your activities for mental stimulation! Particularly Seniors can enjoy in activities from crosswords, arts and crafts projects, scavenger hunts around the house, and having a pen pal! Practicing their writing skills can help with their cognitive skills and they will be engaged; all while having fun. https://www.purposedrivenhh.com/home-care-benefits-of-having-a-pen-pal-and-how-to-strengthen-the-relationship/
- Ensure you are getting enough sunlight.
Take a few moments to sit outside and ensure that you are getting enough sun light. Read outside or by a window with sunlight. Not a fan of reading? Enjoy a good magazine or watch what is happening outside! Another idea can be to meditate quietly as you are getting your needed sunlight. Being inside too often can create a Vitamin D deficiency. Finally make sure to take your loved one to their regular routine checkup to make sure their levels are where they should be.
-
Try new hobbies that are Senior friendly and Socialize!
Join in on the local community resources for Seniors! Did you know that the Rasmussen Center has lots of different types of activities organized for Seniors?

- Remember the Past.
Print out photos of their family and friends. Have your loved one create a scrapbook of all their loved ones, and write their names next to each photo! Then this will help with memory recall and at any moment, they can see photos of their loved ones. You can also keep your loved one engaged by having their caregiver also take out the photo album to see it together. At the same time, they can share a story with them about their favorite moment together with each person in the photo album.
