Holiday Visits Are the Perfect Time to Check In on Senior Loved Ones
From the Cocoon Senior Services Team

As families gather for the holidays, Christmas visits often provide a special opportunity to reconnect — and to quietly observe how our senior loved ones are truly doing at home. Busy schedules and phone calls can sometimes mask subtle changes, but spending time together in person can reveal whether additional support may now be needed to keep them safe, healthy, and aging comfortably in their own homes.

Below are key areas to gently evaluate during your visit:

1. Changes in Physical Health

Noticeable weight loss or gain

Difficulty walking, balance issues, or increased fatigue

Bruises or signs of recent falls

Trouble with fine motor tasks (opening jars, buttoning clothing)

2. Home Environment & Fall Hazards

Cluttered walkways, loose rugs, electrical cords across floors

Poor lighting in hallways and staircases

Difficulty navigating stairs or getting in/out of chairs

Expired food in the refrigerator or pantry

Unopened mail or bills piling up

Small corrections—such as removing loose rugs, adding nightlights, or reorganizing frequently used items—can significantly reduce fall risks.

3. Cognitive and Emotional Changes

Increased forgetfulness, confusion, or repeating questions

Missed medications or difficulty managing prescriptions

Mood changes such as irritability, anxiety, or withdrawal

Signs of loneliness or isolation

4. Personal Care & Daily Living Tasks

Wearing the same clothing for multiple days

Decline in hygiene or grooming

Difficulty preparing meals

Trouble keeping up with household tasks or appointments

5. Social Engagement

Are they still seeing friends, attending activities, or engaging in hobbies?

Do they express feelings of being overwhelmed or “not keeping up”?
