As your mom ages, she may not be able to do everything you want to do or the things you used to be able to do together. This doesn’t mean that you should give up spending mothers day with your elderly loved one, it just means you’ll need to create alternative plans to celebrate. 

Every mother, even a senior mom, deserves to do something special on Mother’s Day. If you can’t pick up your mom to take her out, this is a good time to hire personal care at home to help provide relief to you and your senior. Personal care at home can help do small tasks and chores around the house and some may even help a senior get to and from places. If this sounds like something you need to ensure Mother’s day goes smoothly, now is the time to start looking for the extra help. 

If you have been looking for ideas to do with your senior mom to celebrate the day, you can start with this list. Instead of buying tons of gifts, it’s time to spend some quality time with your senior mom. Giving your senior attention can mean much more than any gift. Regardless, here are a few ideas for you on Mother’s Day.

Cook Her Favorite Meal

If you and your own kids have not seen your elderly loved one for a while, this is the perfect day to go and see them. This is when you can cook their favorite meal and let the grandkids show off to the seniors. Let your kids decorate the table with your elderly loved ones or throw a potluck with your brothers and sisters. This is a day to get creative with your entire family to celebrate the wonderful work your mom has done throughout her life. 

Go To a Local Park

You should always encourage your senior parent to get outside but for them, the motivation may not be there. This is a chance to get your senior out of the house and enjoy the fresh air together. The park may have toys that you can bring your own kids to or it may be a giant open field where you can walk around together and enjoy the sun while chatting about life. This quality time can mean much more than a material object, especially if they don’t get to see you often. 

Walk Through a Botanical Garden

This is another activity that a senior and you can do instead of giving a gift. Buy her favorite flowers or something from the gift shop. At many botanical gardens, you will find trams or other ways to get around the garden to view. This is something that many seniors can enjoy with their loved ones. If you need extra help while out, hire personal care at home to help push around a wheelchair on outings. 

Go To An Antique Store

One of the best things you can do with your mother is to go to an antique store or even a thrift shop. This will be something you can do together and she may have a local favorite. Buy her something that catches her eye!
