I do my best to make holidays as cheerful as I can for those in my care. For those seniors who wish to reminisce, I am happy to listen and to help them relive their memories. For those who follow traditions, we talk about the meals, music and rituals that are special to them, then do my best to provide them. For those with physical disabilities, I ask for their advice while decorating so they are still an important part of the process. And I take them shopping…on the internet. For those who have feelings of loss or loneliness, I may find a way to allow them to have fun through me. I supply the energy and the involvement. All they have to do is come along for the ride. We become partners in fun.
