As winter approaches, you may be tempted to retreat physically and mentally, preparing for the coming months with shorter days and icy temperatures. However, there are many fall activities for seniors to challenge that mindset.

It’s almost time for the “second spring,” which for many means it’s time for enjoying fall foliage in St. Louis. In many locations, seniors can enjoy the colorful view from their car or on easy, safe walking paths.

October is the time of year when many people seem to significantly change their eating habits. So, it’s a good opportunity for seniors, and those creating senior diet plans, to pause and begin paying special attention to diet and nutrition.

With Halloween approaching at the end of the month, it’s an excellent time to plan a fun craft activity with your senior loved one. Halloween crafts for seniors should be simple yet entertaining. In fact, the best craft ideas for seniors are easy to understand… and don’t require tiny pieces!

The beautiful falling leaves remind us how much work autumn requires: raking, cleaning out gutters, winterizing the lawnmower, and the preparation for snow and ice removal. These and many other reasons can make autumn the perfect time to move to an independent living community.

Preparing easy-to-make Halloween treats for seniors is a great way for families to spend time with loved ones of all ages, including senior loved ones, that hearken back to the Halloween fun they had as a child.
