My mother has been a resident at Lewisville Estates for about four years and recently we had to move her because she needed more care. It was regrettable that we had to move because we had grown to consider Lewisville Estates home. That is about the greatest compliment I can give to the staff at Lewisville Estates and the management at Tarantino Properties. Home is a place where one can feel comfortable, at peace and surrounded by loving, caring people. We found that at Lewisville Estates and are very grateful to every person there.
Thanksgiving Celebrations in Senior Living Back
Thanksgiving is a special time of the year to gather with loved ones and give thanks together. For residents in senior living communities and their families, this may seem challenging. At Lewisville Estates, it is our goal to make our resident’s holiday special, no matter how near or far family may be to Lewisville, Texas. Here are some ways to include your loved one in your holiday celebrations.
First, call them. A simple phone call to ask how they are feeling is the first step to including your loved one in your day. The holidays may bring about loneliness to those in senior living away from family, especially new residents. Sometimes, all they need is a phone call to know that you are thinking of them and they are a part of your day.
Next, create new traditions. When your loved one moves into Independent or Assisted Living, traditions often change. Create new ones such as video chatting or dropping off door decorations for them. Lewisville Estates also offers many holiday activities for residents to participate in to keep their spirits up and their holiday festive!
Finally, send a care package. It is a difficult time to not be able to visit those in senior living. Sending a holiday care package with their favorite things and some pictures of the family is a great way to bring them happiness.
At Lewisville Estates, it is our priority that residents feel at home, happy, and loved! Our friendly community of residents and nurturing staff make that possible, and your extra love during the holidays ensures they have a very special Thanksgiving!
