Summer Fun for Everyone!

Summer season is all about having fun outdoors with your loved ones to make some memorable memories. However, seniors can have a hard time enjoying themselves because of certain limitations that require home care services in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Here are some activities that can be done together with your elders:

Indoor Summer Activities for Seniors

• Watch old movies.

• Read a good book while you sip your favorite drink.

• Play board games like, Scrabble, Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit with friends and family members and make sure to keep score!

• Go to live concerts.

• Play music with friends and family members or by yourself.

• Make cards with friends and family members and send them out to some one who has done something nice for you or has helped you in some way, it doesn’t have to be a holiday, they can just be something to say “I was thinking about you”

• Make ice cream and sit out on the front porch and enjoy it with a good book.

• Spend time with your pets!!

Outdoor Summer Activities for Seniors

Build an outdoor oasis
Building a shaded porch, arbor or patio is an investment in quality of life. Create a private space by creating one’s own tropical retreat.

Stay cool with cabin fever
Turn the A/C up in your home and head to a public place where folks are recreating outdoors.

Enjoy a long walk in the park
Try someplace new — maybe one of the many local parks that you haven’t had time to visit over the last few years. Have a picnic, take your dog for a walk or just watch people go by.

Enjoy a movie at the lake
Bring out the family and watch a movie under the stars on a big screen . Picture a scene from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York with Kevin McCallister at your lakeside cottage in summertime.

Read a book in your backyard
Gaze out at beautiful nature and read a well-loved novel.

Take photos of the fresh flowers
Take pictures of the vibrant colors of summer flowers. Shoot close up shots to capture up close details or include some fun props in the frame.

Play mini golf
Mini golf is something that everyone loves to do, and it’s a great way to spend the late afternoon.

Relax on the porch swing
Prefer a lazy time outdoors? Enjoy a leisurely morning while sipping on some coffee or tea and lazing in the swing chair.

Keep busy with crafts
Keep busy during summertime by making fun summery crafts such as making bird feeders and wind chimes or sun catchers with paper plates and sticks.

Go to the park and play games
Go to the city’s park and join in friendly games such as bocce ball, jacks, dodgeball or shopping cart races.

Visit the library
Start reading a good book before summer hit. Enjoy a break while reading something that will inspire you or just something fun to read at home.
