Senior Helpers In Home Elder Care of Kansas City Northland, Missouri, Urges

You to Consider Elderly Neighbors this Holiday Season

Local company urges community to help area seniors around the holidays through simple acts of
kindness

It can take days, even weeks of searching to find the perfect holiday gift idea. It’s all worth it
though when you see the reaction – that electric smile when the wrapping paper comes off of a
thoughtful, heart-warming present for a loved one.

But who provides these moments of joy for those who have no family? And what about elderly
individuals who don’t get to see their family for the holidays because they are too far away?
This holiday season Senior Helpers is urging the community to make an aging seniors day
through a simple act of kindness.

We work with seniors across the area that simply don’t have anyone to bring them a present or
help them get what they need. A quick visit to a senior neighbor living alone or a small gift can
go a very long way. A little bit of outreach is a simple idea and an easy way for people in the
community to show support for our senior neighbors who have a very difficult time around the
holidays.

Of the nearly 40 million people nationwide over the age of 65, 20 percent of them suffer from
depression – a number which drastically increases around the holidays. Senior Helpers
brightens the holidays for a number of local seniors, but individuals and community groups
have the power to do the same through a quick visit and a small act of kindness.

Small, inexpensive gifts can mean a lot to those who have no family or spend the majority of
the holidays alone and isolated. A new pair of house slippers, a back-support pillow, a warm
winter scarf, a new cane, or one of many other inexpensive gifts can all have a big impact on
the life of a local senior living alone.

We visit and care for these people year-round, and we see what a big difference an act of
kindness can have on their day, their mood, and their lives. Help us spread some holiday cheer
to an elderly neighbor who could really use a smile this year – it’s a small gesture that can go a
very long way.
