Display Photos of Your Parents When They Were Younger

Wherever your parent is living, prominently display framed photographs of him or her in younger days. Exhibit the parent looking glamorous, receiving professional recognition and achieving success in sporting events. Let mom or dad be seen at their youthful best.

Your parent will be attended by carer givers, nursing staff, and cleaners, at home, in hospitals, and in nursing homes. Help these people to see your parent as an accomplished individual who just happens to be older, not just another elderly person. The photographs may also provide people with a starting point for conversation.

As an RN who worked in Geriatric care for 25 years, I can tell you pics of the person in younger more glamorous days is a great pick-me-up for them. It opens up communication with staff and the person just glows with delight as they recount events from their younger days. It is a wonderful idea!
