Post-Holiday Blues: What Families Should Know 💙
After the holidays, it’s common for seniors to experience the post-holiday blues. The excitement fades, routines return, and shorter days can impact mood—especially for older adults and those living with memory loss.
Signs to watch for may include:
• Changes in mood, sleep, or appetite
• Withdrawal from activities they usually enjoy
• Increased confusion or anxiety
• Low energy or sadness
Helpful ways to support seniors during this time:
• Keep routines consistent and familiar
• Encourage social connection and gentle activities
• Spend time in natural light and fresh air when possible
• Offer reassurance, comfort, and meaningful engagement
At Sierra Oaks Assisted Living & Memory Care, we focus on emotional wellness year-round—creating connection, purpose, and comfort long after the holidays end.
💙 A little extra care and attention can make a big difference.
