It’s the holiday season and all of us here at Right at Home Australia would like to say happy holidays! 

While gift giving is central to many families’ festivities, and who doesn’t look forward to finding out what’s under the tree, companionship and socialisation play an equally important part.   

The 2020 and 2021 holiday seasons are different to what we’ve ever experienced before. Families are separated by border closures and lockdowns, and vaccine hesitation has meant some of us are limited in our ability to travel.  

The holidays are a perfect time to involve the elderly and those living with special care needs and disabilities in activities – no matter how small. Everyone, no matter their age or ability, needs a little socialisation and a lot of care. If you know someone who may need some extra attention this season, give them the gift of company.  

Australia’s major cities have all got something planned for the holiday season. Check out what’s going on near you and consider whether you can lend a helping hand to someone who lives alone, far away from their family, or who may not be able to get around easily due to a disability.
