As a hospice care provider offering skilled nursing care, we can help you boost the mood of your senior loved one and keep them happy. Follow some of our expert tips below:

• Let them maintain their social connections.
  Studies show that social interaction can help manage stress, reduce anxiety, and prevent depression. This means that it can improve your overall mental health and wellbeing, leading to a better mood.
• Engage in regular physical activity.
  Seniors who are physically active can improve their health and boost their mood. Exercising releases endorphins or feel-good hormones. It also helps seniors keep a healthy body so they can accomplish their ADLs.
• Learn something new.
  Do not let old age stop your senior loved one from discovering new things. They can still learn a language, learn to play an instrument, try gardening, or try baking. Learning new skills or hobbies can definitely lift up their mood.
• Eat nutritious meals.
  Healthy food can give anyone a boost of energy and keep us in a better mood. It also keeps seniors in good shape, which can contribute to being in a better mental state. Incorporate leafy greens, berries, and fatty fish in their diet.
