The Edward Newsletter May 2023

Visiting senior friends and relatives living in Assisted Living communities is an excellent opportunity for children and grandchildren to bond with their loved ones. However, children can sometimes become restless during these visits, leading to boredom for both the child and the resident. Therefore, it's essential to keep children engaged.

Encourage the child to share about their day, hobbies, friends, or pets. This helps to keep the conversation going, creating a meaningful connection between the child and the senior resident.
