Our family house is the setting for many of our most cherished holiday recollections. This means that after a loved one enters an assisted living community, you might feel like you can no longer commemorate the customary holiday rituals. But cheer and delight are brought by the winter holidays. For these occasions, many assisted living residents want to decorate their apartments. By adorning your apartment, you can enjoy the holiday cheer and enhance your mental well-being.
Retirement communities understand the significance of the holiday season. Here are some tips to help you decorate your Cypress, TX, assisted living apartments and make your place a holiday dreamland:
Hanging Décor
Putting decorations on counters and tables may only be suitable for you if you have available surface area. Break new ground instead. Consider hanging miniature wreaths from your doors or cabinets with colorful ribbons. You can also hang one beautiful ornament from your window.
Another way to add cheer to your assisted living apartment is to hang some ornaments from a ceiling fixture, which lends its lovely festive appearance without any clutter.
Small Christmas Tree
Christmas trees are available in various styles and dimensions, with many pre-lit options. Due to this, finding an ideal-sized Christmas tree for your assisted living apartment has become much simpler.
Mini trees can be easily installed on a dresser, side table, or a similar surface so they won’t take up valuable floor space. You can still add a classical touch to your tree by adding a few of your favorite ornaments.
Christmas Lights
You can use Christmas-themed lights and create a tree shape on an empty wall in your assisted living apartment. To create a sizable Christmas tree, clip the lights in a triangle. If your light string is lengthy, you can fill in the tree by zigzagging them from one side of the triangle to the other.
Stockings
Ask your fellow retirees to help you decorate your assisted living apartment with small stockings having their names on them. You can use the stockings as holiday door ornaments, and on Christmas Eve, stuff the stockings with peppermint Christmas goodies.
Creative Wreaths
The festive season brings out the artist in you. Many DIY wreath ideas can brighten and decorate your assisted living apartment. If you cannot make your own, countless wreaths are available at craft stores near you. Wreaths make an excellent decoration for holidays. They can improve the aesthetics of your apartment, giving it a warm and welcoming look. For Christmas decor, you can opt for green wreaths with Ilex (holly). For other winter holidays, you can select the wreath appropriately.
Artificial Flowers
To showcase nature, you can add succulents or artificial flowers to your assisted living apartment. They are non-allergenic and require no maintenance, whereas real flowers are less suitable due to maintenance and potential allergen discharge.
Personal Photographs
If you have photographs of your loved ones or precious memories, the holiday season is the perfect time to bring them out. You can decorate your assisted living apartment by hanging them with wooden clips on a string of LED lights.
There are several ways to make your Assisted Living apartment feel more comfortable and homely. You can be creative and pay homage to your priceless memories.
