There are endless ways to make Mother’s Day unique and special for the woman who has always meant so much to you. Whether your mom is in a wheelchair or otherwise has limited capabilities, it is still possible to ensure this day is as wonderful as she is. Here, the senior home health care experts at Deer Valley Home Health Services provide three outstanding ideas for celebrating this beloved holiday.

3 Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day for Your Elderly Parent

1. Show or Concert

Take your mom to a play or musical she has always wanted to go to, or a concert featuring her favorite musician or band. This type of gift is ideal if your mom relies on a wheelchair, as modern venues typically feature ramps and special seating areas for those with mobility issues. Go over lists of upcoming shows at nearby theaters and concert halls with your mom and choose one or several she wants to see.

2. Hobby-Themed Gifts

Give your mother gifts that are specific to her hobbies and abilities. This will make her feel capable and independent, and it will keep her engaged—all of which are important if she sometimes feels frustrated due to her limited capabilities. For example, if she has hearing issues but loves crafting projects, make her a gift basket full of supplies. Conversely, if her eyesight is weak, but she has always been an avid reader, provide her with a subscription to an audio-book service. Or, if gardening remains a passion, despite mobility limitations, give her tabletop and built-up garden beds for Mother’s Day.

3. Special Picnic or Dinner

Plan a special picnic featuring your mom’s favorite foods, so she enjoys the beauty of nature whether she uses a wheelchair or not. Create menus based on what your mom enjoys while keeping dentures or other eating considerations in mind. You can also look for wheelchair-friendly restaurants in the area, if applicable, or simply ask her where she would like to go.

Your mom deserves the best on Mother’s Day—and every other day of the year.
