How to Make the Most out of Being with Your Grandparent

Many of us feel that being with our grandparents is awkward. Is this you, too? Well, the generation gap is so huge that we think there is nothing we can say that will interest them. If it’s not that, then they may only talk about things that we will not be interested in.

If you have been concerned about this matter, then you’re on the right track. It means that you have it in you to truly spend quality time with your grandparent. You just need a bit of help. So here are some things I learned from providers of Home Health Care in Vancouver, BC:

  1. Talk to Them

    Yes, but what about the lack of interest we previously mentioned? Well, you will be surprised that there are many interesting things you can learn from your grandparent! The first time I chatted with my grandma, I really thought I would be bored. But to my surprise, we talked about her funny childhood experiences, her memorable love story, and even how she cared for my mom, her daughter. You see, just start talking to them, and you’ll know what I mean.

  2. Play Games with Them

    I’ve read from a provider of Senior Home Care in Vancouver that playing games with our grandparent also improves their mental ability. If you’re concerned about their mobility issues, then you can still enjoy many indoor games, such as Bingo, scrabble, chess, or cards. Do you know why this is very special to your grandparent? It’s because they spend the time with you.

  3. Read Together

    My grandma can’t see very well anymore. Yet, she enjoys reading and learning. So, I read to her, especially her favorite books. Whenever I read to her, she sits very close to me, closes her eyes, and then nods and smiles at some of the lines or verses. I enjoyed every minute of it.

So if you want to make the most of your time with a grandparent, start it now.

That was another heartwarming experience shared to us by a client’s family member at Peachtacular Home Health Care. If your grandparent needs Home Care Services in Vancouver, contact us!
