It’s that time of year when one season is changing to become the next. The hot, bright, and long days of summer are winding down for the cooler, shorter, and different hues of fall. It can be a great time to get outside and explore, enjoying and welcoming the new season, but if you have an elderly loved one who is bedridden or cannot leave the home easily, they might be missing out on the joys that a new season brings each year. Companion care at home services can help.
Six Tips for Bringing the Fall Changes Indoors
Your elderly loved one will appreciate seeing some changes around her living environment that reflect the changes that are happening outside of her window. It’s a wonderful way to keep her connected with the natural changes that are occurring in nature, as well as share in the enjoyment of a new season’s arrival.
- Update any home décor. Now is the time to put up all the fall seasonal home décor that you have. Put away the summer tchotchkes and put out pumpkins, fall leaves, and other harvest décor to help her room reflect that summer has come to an end and fall is here.
- Update wall art. If your loved one is stuck indoors for the long term, then it can be worth it to even change up the wall art as the seasons change. It’s a great way to recognize that while she may not be able to get outside much and explore the changes occurring in nature, you can still showcase them indoors.
- Bring some fresh flowers of the season indoors. Flowers change in the fall as well, so consider filling a vase with some lovely fall flowers or even some dried flowers.
- Change bedding and pillows. Other areas to add a nice fall touch to are places like bedding, throw pillows, and blankets. This is the time of year when fabrics can be heavier as well as reflect the colors of fall.
- Enjoy the smells of fall inside. Candles are a great way to enjoy some of the scents of the season, like pumpkin pie, apples, bonfire, and so much more. Just always be careful with candles and only keep them lit when you can safely watch them, and make sure they are always put out once you leave the room.
- Get her dressed in new fall outfits. Even if your loved one doesn’t leave the home, you can help her enjoy fall by putting away her summer wardrobe and bringing out more fall-focused items for her to wear. Don’t forget to let her accessorize as well if she has some favorite earrings or a necklace she likes to wear during the fall.
Fall-based Activities for Those Stuck Inside
Now is also a great time for your loved one to work on some fall-themed activities with her companion care at home providers as well. Her companion care at home provider can help her put together an autumn-inspired puzzle. If your loved one likes art, have her companion care at home provider set up time with her to work on creating some beautiful fall art to display or give away.
These small steps of welcoming fall in the home can help your loved one stay connected with others and enjoy the season.
