The holiday season is a time filled with joy, celebration, and togetherness. But for many families with aging or medically fragile loved ones, it can also bring stress, worry, and uncertainty. At Flowers Home Care, we understand how important family traditions are—and how essential it is to ensure everyone stays safe, supported, and included.

As you prepare for the holidays this year, here are helpful tips to make your celebrations smoother, safer, and more meaningful for your loved ones.

1. Plan Ahead for Routines & Care Needs

   Older adults and individuals with chronic conditions often rely on consistent routines. Before the holidays begin:

   • Review medications and refill early
   • Create a daily schedule for meals, rest, and activities
   • Arrange respite care or support if you’ll be hosting guests or traveling
   • Determine who will help with personal care or mobility needs

   Planning prevents overwhelm—and allows everyone to enjoy the season fully.

2. Make the Home Safe for Holiday Gatherings

   Festive decorations are beautiful, but they can also create safety hazards. Keep your loved one safe by:

   • Clearing walkways and reducing clutter
   • Avoiding loose rugs or electrical cords
   • Ensuring proper lighting
   • Placing seating near handrails or stable surfaces
   • Using flameless candles instead of real flames

   A safe home means a peaceful celebration.

3. Create Inclusive Holiday Activities

   Not all holiday activities are one-size-fits-all. Choose options that help your loved one feel connected without overstimulation or fatigue:

   • Listening to holiday music
   • Looking through family photo albums
   • Decorating cookies
   • Coloring festive pages
   • Watching classic movies together

   Small joyful moments can make the biggest memories.

4. Give Yourself Permission to Ask for Help

   Caring for a loved one is a gift—but it can also be exhausting. The holidays often magnify these responsibilities.

   Remember: You are not alone.

   • Personal care
   • Companion care
