Happy National Christmas Lights Day!
Time to light up the season and get festive!
Remember to stay safe while celebrating this season;
- Inspect lights: Before putting up lights, throw away any strands with frayed or pinched cords, cracked bulbs, or loose sockets.
- Don't overload: Never exceed the manufacturer's recommendations for how many strands can be connected, and limit strands per outlet to a safe number, such as three.
- Unplug all lights: Make a habit of unplugging all your decorative lights before you leave your home or go to sleep for the night.
- Use clips, not nails: Use clips or other fasteners to hang lights, and avoid using nails, screws, or staples that can damage cords.
- Avoid hazards: Do not run cords under rugs, through doorways, or in high-traffic areas where they could be pinched.

Preparing for Thanksgiving with home health care patients involves mindful planning for a safe and festive environment, with a focus on the needs of health and their visitors.

Managing health and visitors
- Plan and schedule visits. Coordinate with family members to create a visitation schedule that respects the patient's energy levels. Keep visits shorter to avoid overwhelming the patient.
- Communicate specific instructions. Inform visitors about the patient's health status, schedule, and any restrictions, such as avoiding bringing strong perfumes or young children if the patient is sensitive.
- Maintain health and hygiene. Remind all visitors to wash their hands frequently, especially if the patient is immunocompromised. Keep hand sanitizer readily available.
- Reinforce the care plan. Ensure that holiday fun does not disrupt the patient's medical schedule, medication, or therapy.

Preparing for Thanksgiving with home health care patients involves mindful planning and ensuring that they can celebrate comfortably and safely, focusing on meaningful connections and joy.

Safe and festive environment
-Use simple, safe decorations. Avoid decorations that could be a tripping hazard, like long cords or rugs. Use battery-operated or flameless candles instead of real ones.
- Consider lighting and sound. Soft, warm lighting can create a cozy atmosphere. Be mindful of loud music or many people talking at once, as it can be overstimulating for some patients. Designate a quiet space for them to retreat to if needed.
- Keep pathways clear. Ensure all walkways and main areas are free of clutter and decor to prevent falls.

Preparing for Thanksgiving with home health care patients involves mindful planning and adapting holiday activities to their physical abilities. A patient-centered approach ensures they can celebrate comfortably and safely, focusing on meaningful connections and joy.

Planning Holiday Activities:
- Watch holiday entertainment. Enjoy a classic Thanksgiving movie or the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade together.
- Make simple crafts. Engage in low-energy activities like decorating place cards, creating a "gratitude tree" with notes of thankfulness, or working on a simple, holiday-themed art project.
- Share memories. Encourage the patient to share memories of past Thanksgivings. Creating a "memory box" with special items is a meaningful tradition.
- Listen to music or audiobooks. Create a playlist of their favorite classic songs or use audiobooks for a relaxing activity that doesn't require visual effort.
- Host virtual visits. For family members who can't visit in person, set up a video call via a tablet or phone to include the patient in the festivities.

Preparing for Thanksgiving with home health care patients involves mindful planning for their dietary needs, as well as their guests. A patient-centered approach ensures they can celebrate comfortably and safely, focusing on meaningful connections and joy.

When planning the meal, consider:
- Adapting dishes for special diets. Modify recipes to be low in salt, sugar, and fat, or use healthier substitutions like using sweet potatoes instead of sugary yams.
- Preparing soft, easy-to-chew foods. Offer soft options like tender roasted turkey breast (without the tough skin), extra-moist stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pureed squash.
- Prioritizing hydration. The holiday excitement may cause patients to forget to drink. Offer flavorful water infused with fruits, or serve warm, low-sodium broth or soup.
- Portion sizes. Use smaller plates to help control portion sizes and prevent overindulgence.
- Using delivery services or pre-made meals. If cooking a full meal is too stressful, consider ordering a pre-made Thanksgiving dinner from a grocery store or restaurant. Services like Meals on Wheels may also offer special holiday meals for homebound seniors.
