CKH Care

As well as being a time for celebrations, Christmas can bring with it a long list of jobs that take a lot of time and energy. As we get older, sometimes it is harder to take part in the festivities.

There are lots of ways to help older people make the most of the festive season:
• Go shopping together
• Offer to help with decorations
• Support with online shopping
• Get and about to look at decorations
• Find festive events to attend
• Make time for a catch up.

If you don’t live near your loved ones, talk to us about how our fantastic Care team can help instead. Learn more about the ways we can help at www.ckhcare.co.uk
