We will posting 5 tips leading up to Christmas on how you can connect with your older neighbours this Holiday Season.
5. Look out for them
Look out for your neighbours this holiday season. Be mindful that Christmas can be a tough time for some older people, especially those who live alone. Small gestures of kindness can make this time much easier for older people who may be lonely.
