During the beautiful and warm summer months, getting outside can really freshen the mind and body. For seniors who have limited mobility and/or remain inside most days, having a caregiver available to help plan excursions to soak up some sun and socialize can really be mentally uplifting. Safe Haven Home Care provides reliable elderly care services to seniors in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. This includes helping them get outside on gorgeous, sunny days while remaining in safe and caring hands.

Once you have a caregiver to help you access the outdoors more often and ensure that you are well taken care of, here are a few ways you might like to spend your time: 

• Attend A Sporting Event: If you have grandchildren, no doubt a few of them are involved in some sort of little league team. Try to plan a day to catch one of their games. You could also try to attend a professional game if you are a sports enthusiast.
• Take A Walk: Walking is an excellent way to clear the mind and get in a little bit of cardio. Just be sure not to overdo it, and make sure your caregiver has stocked up on water to keep you well hydrated.
• Have A Picnic: Visiting a local park during the summertime can be a great adventure, and having a picnic is a fantastic way to enjoy a meal in the open air. You will be able to relax, soak up some vitamin D, and bask in your surroundings. Ask your caregiver to help you pick a shady area to avoid dehydration and sunburn.
• Go For A Swim: If you are able to go for a dip in a local pool (YMCA locations usually have senior swim times), this is an excellent reason to get out of the house and a great way to get some low-impact exercise at the same time.
