June is here and with it comes Father’s Day. This is an important day where we honor the father figures in our lives and recognize them for everything that they have done for us. However, it can be difficult to plan the ideal day for your father, especially if he is a senior who receives at home care assistance. Buying your father a gift is thoughtful and often a memorable part of Father’s Day, but for many people, the most significant gift you can give on June 19th this year is your presence.
For the many seniors who are referred at home care assistance via Atlantic In-Home Care, they may not see their families as much as they would like. We understand life gets busy and things come up and get in the way. Visiting your father figure and spending time with him can mean more than any object ever could. Quality family time spent together can strengthen bonds and create memories that can be treasured for a lifetime. At Atlantic In-Home Care, we have ideas for how to spend this Father’s Day with the figure in your life.
With hectic schedules, it can be difficult sometimes to just sit and listen to each other. This Father’s Day, show him how much you appreciate him and give him the gift of your time and undivided attention. Showing Dad how much you love him does not have to cost a lot of money. Spending time preparing a special meal, a craft, or a photo book does not take too much time and can mean the world. Part of our at home care assistance includes caregivers who offer companion care to your aging loved ones. While they are always available to offer a helping hand and some companionship, none of it compares to quality family time that only you can give.
If your father is a bit more low-key, perhaps showing up at his home with a couple of coffees and a newspaper will be a wonderful way to start his Father’s Day. Spread out the paper and browse the stories and headlines. Talk about the local attractions and current world news. Ask his opinion on the information you read together, that way you can share a conversation, and collaborate together. It can be fun to rediscover each other. Invite Dad out for a stroll down by a local lake or park.
Atlantic In-Home Care is based in Port St. Lucie which offers several scenic areas to enjoy a day out with your father. The weather is finally warm, and it can be enjoyable to spend a morning in the fresh air. Getting outside for even thirty minutes can be very refreshing and reviving to the spirit. Any way you decide to spend time with your dad this Father’s Day, it will surely bring a smile to his face. For when you can’t be there, Atlantic In-Home Care is ready with our network of referred caregivers to provide an at home care assistance plan as well as companionship for your father or other elderly loved ones.
