As the holiday lights dim and the excitement of the season fades, routines return to normal, many seniors in nursing homes can feel an emotional drop. A simple visit, a warm conversation, or a small act of kindness helps prevent loneliness and reminds residents they are valued—not only during the holidays, but EVERY DAY of the year. Small gestures, phone calls or visits from family and friends OUTSIDE any “Special Day or Holiday” can create a sense of comfort long after the season or special day has passed. HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!
