End of the year planning for those 55

• Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many seniors have
  not been able to freely interact with their
  family members. If you have an older adult either
  at home or at senior living facilities like
  Connect55, there are a few things you can do to
  make this end of the year more special,
  memorable, and fun. For them to stay safe and
  healthy, all they need is proper support and
  attention by ensuring all their to-do lists are
  catered for.
• There following are some of the things that
  families can do for their seniors to ensure that
  they enjoy this festive season.

• Prepare for a family gift. Surprising the seniors
  with unique and stunning gifts during this
  festive season makes them feel valued and loved.
  Take time to understand what they love most and
  they will definitely appreciate it.
• Treat your seniors to their favorite holiday
  meals. You need to make arrangements and prepare
  what they like most. You can even order from your
  favorite catering facility and deliver to them
  where they are living.

• Ensure their taxes are fully filed on time. Older
  adults can easily forget to file their annual tax
  and its important to put that in their to-do
  list when planning for the end of the year.
• Following up on seniors retirement benefits
  should also be an item in your end-of-the-year
  to-do list basket. They require the help of
  youthful adults to help them with all the
  paperwork and make the needed follow-up.

5

• Create some days where seniors can connect with
  their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Let
  the children create special drawings and cards
  for them. Seniors will also feel great when they
  get a chance to tell their grandchildren stories
  about their youthful days and traditions. If a
  physical meeting is not possible, make sure you
  do a video call.
• If you have some pets at home that they love, you
  can make sure they get some time to interact with
  them. They cherish and really enjoy such moments.

6

• If they are believers, organize for spiritual
  nourishment by either inviting a church group or
  your neighborhood for a service. Such
  opportunities give seniors a good time to
  appreciate the gift of life and overall
  wellbeing.
• Buy for them gifts that motivate them to do
  routine workouts and regular movement. Doing
  regular exercises ensures that their bodies
  remain active and strong. You should also plan to
  have books and games that stimulate their minds
  to help them fight fatigue and depression. Word
  games, number games, computer games are great in
  improving seniors mental stability.

7

• Organize a gift wrapping party. Seniors enjoy
  getting gifts from their loved ones and friends.
  You can even chitchat them to get a feeling of
  the kind of gifts that makes them happy.
• End-of-year planning for seniors 55 is a great
  way of connecting with them and ensuring that you
  uplift their body, mind, and soul. When they are
  well taken care of, they live a longer quality
  healthy life.
