Helping Seniors Decorate for the Holidays
Thanksgiving and Christmas are special times when you get together with family and friends to celebrate. It can be difficult for seniors living in a senior living community to get into the holiday spirit. They are often alone for the holidays and can’t make it to the festivities and will miss out on all the fun.
You can help alleviate this by spending time with your elderly loved ones and helping them decorate for the holidays. Here are some safe and fun senior living holiday decoration ideas that you can do together:
- Go through their old holiday decorations and see which items you want to put up or donate to family or friends
- Use lightweight decorations to hang on walls and to display over windows
- Create a holiday theme, such as a white Christmas, a winter wonderland, or something more festive
- Display photos of their friends and loved ones in holiday-themed frames
- Sing Christmas songs with them
- Bake Christmas cookies and other treats
At Calder Woods, we welcome senior adults to come and experience what life is like in our senior living community. We have many fun holiday decorations for senior living that you can use to decorate and join in on the holiday festivities.
Holiday Decorations for Senior Living Communities
There are many ideas for fun holiday decorations for senior living that you can do together to create more meaningful memories. If you need some new decorating tips, here are some ideas for holiday decorations for senior living communities:
Gift Wrap Empty Boxes
Gift-wrapping empty boxes can make any tree look more festive over the holidays. Gather several empty boxes of various sizes and wrap them in colorful wrapping paper and festive bows. You can place them under a tree, next to fireplaces, outside your front door, or under the window.

Another safe and fun idea for senior living holiday decorations is to display your favorite hand-crafted decorations. During arts and crafts activities offered by the senior living community, you can make ornaments, holiday cards, and other decorations. Plus, you can decorate your apartment or room with lights and treasured heirlooms that will put you in the holiday spirit.
Decorating Your Front Door

- Add a Merry Christmas or Happy New Year message to your door
- Hang a holiday wreath
- Mount some Christmas stockings
- Place a holiday-themed mural on your door
- Put an evergreen garland around the doorframe
- String lights around the door.
Senior living communities will often hold contests for the most decorative door with fun prizes that you can win.
Decorate with a Favorite Holiday Scent
Candles and air fresheners come in different scents that can give your home a pleasant holiday aroma that everyone can enjoy. Scented candles come in various wonderful fragrances, including cinnamon, sugar cookies, pine trees, peppermint, vanilla, and mistletoe. If you are worried about having an open flame, you can get a scent diffuser to give your home a Christmassy smell.
