Nobody appreciates being stuck at home for extended periods of time. But for many seniors, this is the reality they have to deal with not just because of the pandemic but because of health issues that prevent them from pursuing a life outside.

If you have a senior loved one bored at home, here are a few things that you might want to do to keep him or her entertained:

1. Introduce a new hobby or activity.
Try introducing a new hobby. This will make the senior look forward to the day. It can be anything that the senior is interested in such as learning a new language or starting a garden. You can introduce your senior loved one to new activities such as learning how to use the computer as well. There are so many things that you can do.

2. Try having an activity theme each day.
For instance, you can schedule baking on weekends or do crafts on weekdays. It will also create a routine that will provide comfort to your senior loved one. Your senior loved one will know what to expect during the day.

3. Use books to your advantage.
Books are always a good source of entertainment. If your loved one has poor eyesight, you can opt for audiobooks instead.
