For the American, fall is a special season. Harvest for starters, then comes football, tailgating and buffalo wings. It gets better as the season progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halloween and Thanksgiving are holidays that make the season even more American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall represents so many great things in this country, and our seniors in residential assisted living know it quite well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seniors can still celebrate the autumn season in style, during their golden years. Here are some engaging and fun activities for celebrating autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 FESTIVE FALL ACTIVITIES FOR SENIORS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Enjoy Fall-Themed Coloring Pages<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just for kids. Everyone loves to color. There is just something about bringing illumination to a blank page that brings out the creativity in each of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coloring is ageless therefore let\u2019s enjoy it with our seniors. There\u2019s an additional benefit. Coloring has the added benefit of being a stress reliever. Maybe everyone needs to get a box of crayons and some paper. According to psychologists, coloring has benefits similar to meditating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case a trip to the local craft store is not possible, the internet sheds the fall coloring love abroad. Download a few sheets and everyone can color together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make Decorations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fall has a way of making each of us interior designers. Maybe not really good ones, but we take a fair run at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making fun festive decorations to commemorate the season is a great way to improve mood in any setting. A residential assisted living home is the perfect setting for these designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to include the very fine coloring artwork of your seniors. It needs to be on display for all to appreciate, but you might want to bolster the environment with a few DIY items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
