Here are some tips to make sure that your senior loved one gets a lot of social time:

1. Consider moving to senior homes in Burnaby.

If your senior loved one is home alone most of the time, moving to Senior Homes in Burnaby such as The Poppy Residences just might be the best step that he or she can take. At senior homes, they will have all the opportunities to interact. Senior homes also have activities and events to encourage seniors to spend time with other people.

2. Schedule weekly family time.

Make sure you visit your senior loved one at least once a week. There’s no substitute for physical interactions. You can have lunch in the senior’s home or organize an outdoor party with the rest of the family members.

3. Encourage your senior loved one to take up a hobby.

This new hobby should entice the senior to socialize. For instance, you can sign up your senior loved one to a dance class in a nearby studio. If you have a senior loved one who loves reading, encourage her to join a book club.

Being able to socialize is one thing that many seniors struggle with now that they are retired and don’t have the physical faculties to go out. Give as much help to your senior loved one who is going through this problem.
