Local Senior Summer Activities

When mobility becomes an issue, it can be a daunting task just to get outside and the chances of staying indoors are higher as summer activities seem unattainable, particularly for seniors living alone. Frequent isolation and lack of vitamin D can lower overall health and well-being.

Being outside can lower feelings of anxiety, anger, fear, and stress. And for seniors with mobility issues – the change of scenery, fresh air, and smells alone provide a relaxing setting. So, now that summer is in full swing, it’s time to encourage your loved ones to get out and enjoy the last month of summer. 🌷☀️
