The holidays are here, and while special traditions and fond memories make it easy for some older adults to get in the spirit of the season, others will struggle to find joy for a variety of reasons:

Limited mobility: The holiday season is much less enjoyable for those who cannot shop, visit, or celebrate with ease.

Seasonal sadness: The holidays can bring about and exacerbate feelings of depression, loneliness and anxiety.

Difficult chores: Holiday decorating and seasonal tasks can add to the struggle of keeping up with household chores.

Financial burden: For seniors on a budget, the holidays can cause stress by reminding them of their financial limitations.

If this time of year has you feeling frustrated or a bit lonely, you should explore the many benefits of moving to a supportive Life Plan Community. During the holidays and any time of year, Duncaster can ease your frustration by offering help like housecleaning before and after guests arrive. If you don’t like to cook, you can enjoy a chef-prepared holiday meal in one of our dining rooms, or you can request a special family-style holiday meal to be delivered to your home for a private gathering. The choice is yours.

With over 40 different voluntary interest groups and clubs, meeting new friends who share your interests is easy. The real challenge is in choosing between the many activities and programs offered each day. Everything you need to live a dynamic, fulfilling life is available right here, on a campus designed to maximize your abilities and independence.
