Staying active and getting out into the world outside their community is important for seniors living in assisted living. Outings are also an opportunity for seniors and caregivers to spend some quality time together. However, as abilities and circumstances change, it can be challenging to find outings that match a senior’s energy levels. To help, we’ve put together a list of everyday outing ideas for you and your loved one.

Summer reading isn’t just for kids (although a summer reading challenge would be a fun activity to share with your grandkids). Summer lends itself to spend long hours reading. Whether it’s a rainy day during a summer thunderstorm, a quiet evening on the patio when the temperature finally cools down, or an afternoon escaping the heat to read a good book indoors where there’s air conditioning. Put these five books on your summer reading list and nightstand.
Summer is great time for bonding between grandparents and their grandchildren. The kids are out of school for the summer, but parents are still working. Nearby grandparents make convenient and willing babysitters, providing many more welcome opportunities to spend quality time with their grandchildren. If you’re looking for some kid-friendly activities to do with your grandchildren this summer, you’ve come to the right place. We have a few good ideas!
